Suns Advance To The Western Conference Semifinals After Game 4 Win Over Clippers
The Phoenix Suns are now one win away from reaching the Western Conference Finals following a 112-100 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4 of the NBA playoffs (AZCentral). With the Suns’ victory, they took a commanding 3-1 lead in the series (CBS Sports).
The Suns were led by Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul, who combined for 86 points in the game (Arizona Sports). However, the Clippers were without their star player, Kawhi Leonard, who was ruled out for Game 4 due to a knee sprain (CBS Sports).
Despite the absence of Leonard, the Clippers fought hard to stay in the game, but they were ultimately unable to overcome the offensive firepower of the Suns (Sports Illustrated). In particular, Booker had a standout performance, scoring 45 points in Game 3 and helping the Suns take a 2-1 series lead earlier in the week (CBS Sports).
As the series shifts back to Phoenix for Game 5, the Suns will look to close out the series and secure their spot in the Western Conference Finals (CBS Sports). The Suns’ playoff run has been impressive so far, but they will need to stay focused and continue to play at a high level if they hope to advance to the NBA Finals.
