Suns lead way as teams retool for stretch run in the wild, wild West

Kevin Durant's arrival in Phoenix shifts power among Western Conference teams, much to the dismay of the Clippers, Lakers and other playoff contenders.

Late Wednesday night, in the back hallways of Crypto.com Arena, there was a nervous energy as executives, staffers and players from the Dallas Mavericks and Clippers checked their phones while milling around in the. It was the last night before the NBA’s noon Thursday trade deadline, and while the Mavericks’ roster had already undergone a radical reshuffling, the Clippers were waiting for their own.

Denver added former Lakers big man Thomas Bryant and traded second-year wing Bones Hyland to the Clippers, a move the Denver Post described as “addition by subtraction” after Hyland had grown unsatisfied with his role. Golden State brought back Gary Payton II from last season’s championship team, and Minnesota grabbed a point guard — Mike Conley — familiar with center Rudy Gobert.

Dennis Schroder scored 25 points and Anthony Davis had 23, but the short-handed Lakers fell short against the Milwaukee Bucks 115-106 on Thursday.
