Lakers rout Suns for 3rd straight win

Kyle Kuzma scored 23 points and LeBron James had 22 before both sat out the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' third home victory in four days, 120-96 over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

Brandon Ingram scored 15 points and JaVale McGee had 14 points and eight rebounds in three quarters of work for the Lakers. They have won 12 of 16 since their 2-5 start to James' first season on the West Coast.

Michael Beasley scored a season-high 14 points as the Lakers fell behind by 17 points in the first quarter, yet still made easy work of last-place Phoenix.

Suns star Devin Booker scored six points before leaving with a strained hamstring in the second quarter.

Booker missed three games in October after straining his hamstring in the Suns' first game against the Lakers. He was returning Sunday from a one-game absence due to an injured left toe after stubbing it on his hotel bed during the Suns' trip to Los Angeles to play the Clippers last Wednesday.

•76ERS 103, GRIZZLIES 95:Jimmy Butler continued his run as the 76ers' stretch-run shooter, scoring 13 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies in Philadelphia.

JJ Redick continued his late-career resurgence with 24 points for the Sixers.

The Sixers are 13-1 at home and 8-2 since acquiring Butler from Minnesota.

•WARRIORS: Center Damian Jones has been sidelined by a torn left pectoral muscle.

The Warriors announced the injury on Sunday and said Jones' long-term status will be determined following a meeting with a specialist in the coming days. But he likely will be sidelined for a significant amount of time.

Jones, who is averaging 5.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, got hurt with 5.7 seconds remaining in the third quarter of a loss Saturday at Detroit.
