Suns-Lakers Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers are off to their worst start since moving to the West Coast, and they're inching toward an unwanted franchise record. It's a losing streak the Phoenix Suns have already contributed to, and they'll get a chance to become repeat offenders Tuesday night in a visit to Staples Center. After Saturday's 127-104 loss at Golden State, the Lakers are 0-4 for the first time since starting 0-7 in 1957-58 as the Minneapolis Lakers. Kobe Bryant, shooting 41.2 percent with an NBA-worst plus-minus average of minus-19.0, wasn't terribly pessimistic following the loss.
