The Phoenix Suns are expecting Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers to be the ‘hardest of the series’ so far.

With Phoenix up 3-2 in the series, Game 6 on Thursday is must-win for the Lakers in order to avoid elimination from the playoffs.

“Jae Crowder said the Suns will need to wrap their heads around the idea that Game 6 will be the hardest game of the series, and that that will be his message to the team.

Chris Paul said the same as Crowder: This will be the hardest game of the series for the Suns,” Gerald Bourguet of The Step Back reports.
