The Phoenix Suns duo, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, together handed the Los Angeles Lakers their first NBA defeat of the season.

Booker scored 33 points and Durant 30 to give the Suns a thrilling 109-105 victory at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.

Lakers star LeBron James had a quiet game, scoring just 11 points, while his teammate Anthony Davis top-scored with 29 points while Austin Reaves added 23.

Coming into the game off an impressive 3-0 start to the season under new head coach JJ Redick, the Lakers had a great start to the game.

Davis scored 16 points in the first quarter to give the Lakers a 26-8 lead.

Phoenix fought back to take a 50-48 lead before the Lakers responded with a 35-point third quarter to retake the lead.

However, the Suns dominated the fourth game, outscoring the Lakers 33-22 and securing a hard-fought victory.

Suns coach Mike Budenholzer praised the “strength” of his team's defense after it “took such a beating in the first quarter” as a crucial factor in the win.

Elsewhere, Paolo Banchero became the first Orlando Magic player with a 50-point game in 20 years as they beat the Indiana Pacers 119-115.

Banchero tied the franchise record for points in a half, scoring 37 points in the first two quarters against the Indiana Pacers.

He added 13 rebounds and had nine assists, while Jalen Suggs provided offensive support with 25 points.

Banchero finished his career with 50 points, which was the club's fifth-highest total and its best tally since Tracy McGrady's record of 62 points in March 2004.

“It was easy to be in the zone. I felt like I was at home in an open gym just working on my game,” Banchero said.

“Every shot felt like it was going in and it’s a good feeling when you have a day like that.”
