Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns Final Score & Over/Under Result — Feb 26, 2026

The second half exploded past the market's expectations, yet fell just shy of 223.5. Phoenix and Los Angeles combined for 125 points after the break—a 27-point swing from their sluggish first 24 minutes of 98 combined—but the Suns' 113-110 victory came down by a half-point on the total. Q4 alone produced 63 combined points, the game's highest-scoring quarter, as both teams pushed deep into the fourth before Phoenix held on for the win.

Luka Dončić led the Lakers with 41 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, while LeBron James added 15 points and Austin Reaves chipped in 14. The Suns countered with balanced scoring: Grayson Allen's 28 points and 6 assists anchored the offense, and Collin Gillespie contributed 21 points as Phoenix weathered the late surge. Royce O'Neale's 13 points and 6 rebounds anchored the home defense down the stretch. The teams had met three times already this season, with totals ranging from 230 to 240—establishing this matchup as reliably high-volume. Phoenix's recent form (111.9 allowed per game) and Los Angeles' offensive output (111.4 scored per game) aligned with an elevated total, but a deliberate first half kept the pace in check. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed by the tightest of margins.
