PHOENIX (AP) -A week ago, the Phoenix Suns were talking about how they no longer were marshmallows on defense, and this team had a toughness its predecessors had sorely lacked.
The conversation is a little different now.
The Suns’ resurgence took a hit in Los Angeles, where the Lakers scored a total of 252 points to go up 2-0 in the Western Conference finals, shooting 58 percent in each game.
The Suns left the Staples Center court to chants of “beat the Celtics” from Lakers fans and have three days before Game 3 in Phoenix to try to figure out how to slow a team that seems primed for another NBA title.
Neither team practiced on Thursday. Both will resume workouts on Friday in preparation for Sunday night’s game.
