The Suns revved up their frenetic style to near perfection on Tuesday night in a 126-98 rout of the Lakers that put Phoenix up 2-0 in the best-of-seven first-round series.

The Suns had lost five consecutive playoff Game 2s, including one at home against the Lakers a year ago. But it was apparent early that this would be no replay. Phoenix led by 21 in the second quarter and 28 in the third.
