Green, Plumlee pace streaking Suns over Lakers

Gerald Green hit six 3-pointers and scored 22 points, while Miles Plumlee added 17 points and grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds Monday night in a 117-90 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Plumlee, who played in just 14 games for the Pacers as a rookie a year ago, had his way inside with an ailing Pau Gasol in the Suns' third straight win.

Marcus Morris added 19 points on 5-of-6 shooting from 3-point range for Phoenix, which held a 62-39 edge on the boards in their eighth win in nine games.

Nick Young scored 19 points and Jodie Meeks 18 for the undermanned Lakers, who fell to 1-2 since Kobe Bryant was sidelined with a knee injury.
