Phoenix Suns @ Los Angeles Clippers : 130-103 (4-2)
– It is therefore on the floor where he failed so much in this quest that Chris Paul picked up his first ticket to the NBA Finals. It’s hard not to be happy for “CP3”, who swept away this anomaly from his career by releasing a grandiose game 6 once morest the Los Angeles Clippers.
Paul took responsibility in the 3rd and 4th quarters to breathe life into his team, quench the enthusiasm of Clippers fans and return a copy to 41 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals, without losing the slightest ball and shooting at 16/24. A simply magnificent performance, with 31 points in the 2nd half, which many no longer imagined him capable of following the end of his adventure in Houston.
What a performance… Chris Paul erupts for an #NBAPlayoffs career-high tying 41 PTS, including 31 in the 2nd half, as the @Suns win Game 6 and advance to the #NBAFinals presented by YouTube TV for the first time since 1993. #ThatsGame

– The Phoenix Suns, absent from the NBA Finals since 1993, are only four wins away from the title and are now awaiting the name of their opponent. Except almost miraculous return of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Phoenix will be the opposition’s favorite. It’s the first time in NBA history that a team has reached the Finals following 10 years without a playoff qualification.

– Devin Booker (21 points), Deandre Ayton (16 points, 17 rebounds, 2 blocks) and Jae Crowder (19 pts) also played an important role in this victory which took shape thanks to a formidable external address (17/31 to 54%) and an unchallenged domination on the rebound (47-32).
– Patrick Beverley wasn’t going to leave the stage without a final bang. The Clippers point guard didn’t like Chris Paul staring at him when he joined his bench for a timeout. He mightn’t find anything better than going to push him from behind. Expulsion, thank you, goodbye and not see you soon.

– Paul George mightn’t repeat their exploits from Game 5. PG13 finished with 21 points and 9 rebounds at 6/15. In a difficult context, he will still have generally achieved very good playoffs and made it possible to understand a little better what he meant by the name “Playoff-P”.
– The season of Nicolas Batum (9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists) has also ended and the captain of the Blues will be able to breathe a little before the Olympic Games. This season has been a real breath of fresh air in the career until then when “Batman” stopped and he proved that he was still capable of being an important part of a team that is playing for the title.
