PHOENIX – The returns of Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant certainly paid off for the Phoenix Suns in their 127-100 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Suns have been missing both stars in recent games due to calf injuries, and their five-game losing streak prior to their return was evident.

However, each member of the Phoenix starting trio of Beal, Durant and Devin Booker scored over 20 points in the win, once again flexing their muscles against the rest of the league.

Reactions after their return:

Mike Budenholzer

“They are two great players and for them to miss a significant amount of time and come back and play the way they did is a credit to them, their professionalism, their skill, their talent and the rest of the group to integrate quickly and.” Find out how to play with everyone together. Really, Book (Devin Booker), all three of those guys tonight, kind of gave us what we needed to be at our best.”

Devin Booker

“I mean, it felt great. There’s a lot of space, a lot of options on the floor and trying to continue to play the right way and make the right play. Teams don’t help anymore, we get out and create open looks.”

Bradley Beal

“You can’t protect us the same way. I mean, it obviously just is. If one of us wasn’t out there, you know, they’d be doubling the guy out there and forcing the ball out of Book’s (Devin Booker) hands, and you definitely saw him tonight. Or you can’t double team when all three of us are on the floor, just too much, too much versatility on the back and powerful weapons. So, we love it. Of course, we need to be healthy and make sure our availability is at our best and restrain ourselves. But you know, this is just a testament to how we can play.”
