Phoenix Suns fans pack the house in Game 5 sellout

It was a full house at Phoenix Suns Arena for Game 5 on Tuesday night vs. the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Suns lifted their seating restrictions to full capacity on Tuesday, for the first time in the 2020-21 season.

A sellout crowd of 16,163 fans were in attendance to watch the Suns defeat the Lakers 115-85 and take a 3-2 series lead.

The energy in the building was through the roof before the game even started.
