The Phoenix Suns have purchased a unique Internet domain name.

According to the website Domain Name Wire, the Suns spent $5,300 to buy the domain “beat.la” -- a nod to the Suns long-time rivalry with the Lakers.

Technically the “.la” is a country code for Laos, but it’s somewhat of a creative loophole.

The Lakers may not actually consider Phoenix a rival, but rivalries are not always a two-way street.

The Suns may be able to double-up their usage on their new registration with the Clippers now a power in the Pacific Division.

Phoenix is coming off of a difficult season, winning just 25 games to finish 15th in the Western Conference.

The “beat.la” registration may be more of a long-term investment.
