The Suns came to downtown LA and took back home court advantage behind Devin Booker’s dominant 45-point performance.
It always helps when his running mate is Kevin Durant, who finished with 28 points, six rebounds, and five assists.
With Kawhi Leonard and Paul George out, the Clippers rolled with more small ball lineups.
Phoenix responded with a physical brand of playoff basketball, leading to the 129-124 win, and the 2-1 series lead.
