United in the face of adversity, the Clippers, led by a Paul George-inspired performance (41 points and 13 rebounds) went into warrior mode and won an unlikely 106-92 victory to keep their NBA Finals hopes intact at 3-2. .

Despite a rough night on Monday, Chris Paul, Devin Booker and the rest of the Suns know that just one more win over the last two games will be enough to clinch a berth in the NBA Finals. It would be the first time Phoenix has appeared in the flagship NBA series since Charles Barkley’s glory days in 1993.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Phoenix Suns preview
Despite the team’s unmistakable firepower, Phoenix has struggled to post its usual high point totals in the last three games against the Clippers. In Games 1 and 2, Phoenix averaged 112 points per game. But that average dropped dramatically to just 92.6 points in Games 3, 4 and 5.
While it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for the drop in points, especially given the return of Phoenix’s top player Chris Paul, the offense has been noticeably slow in possession and needs to move the ball much faster to disturb. a wounded and Bruised Clippers Defense.
Since returning home, Paul has averaged just 18.3 points against the Clippers in the series and has only scored 19/60 field goals in the last three games, which brings us to either a ) whether the 7x All-Star is in great shape, or b) applaud the Clippers defense for doing such a good job of painting defense. Either way, if the Suns are really destined for the NBA Finals tonight, Paul needs to get back in shape.
That’s not all on Paul, watch out: Devin Booker scored 31 points on Monday, but his shooting average is way below the regular season, averaging just 33.3 percent.
Without DeAndre Ayton’s last-second heroism for the Suns in Game 2, the Clippers would be on par in this series, and if the Suns’ pointless shots are something to do, LA would deserve it, too.
As for the Clippers, home ground advantage could be absolutely crucial tonight. The LA men have had their backs to the wall without Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac but the team is giving it their all. With a thrilled crowd behind them, expect fireworks at Staples Center.
Paul George, Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson are expected to keep the dashboard running. Morris, in particular, has been in great shape since returning to full form and it’s likely a lot of the Clippers’ offensive creativity will come from the former University of Kansas star – keep an eye out for him tonight. !
But what do punters think? Should the Clippers turn the series around with their superior shooting accuracy, or will the Suns make their first final in 28 years?
