Suns set foot in NBA Finals
Los Angeles Clippers – Phoenix Suns : 80-84
Phoenix leads 3-1
Nobody looked like they wanted to score baskets on Saturday night. Game 4 between the Suns and the Clippers was marked by the catastrophic address of the two teams. The only difference is that Chris Paul put his free throws in the hottest moments, where Paul George missed 3 of 4 in the last 15 seconds. Already clumsy on the line in the second game of the West Finals, the All-Star winger may have cost his team the feat. He had twice the opportunity to bring his own back to a short length. In vain. CP3, he therefore returned his 4 throws at the end. A composure that might allow him to reach the NBA Finals for the first time in his career with this victory for Phoenix, 84 to 80.

Before the game took on the appearance of a free-throw contest, it looked like… not much. A cinder block throwing contest. Only 36% success for the Suns with barely 4 three-pointers scored. 32% for the Clippers, with one more outside shot. The Californians were only good at one point in the game: in the third quarter. And that’s how they came back to score, erasing a gap of 13 points to come back to 3 lengths (69-66). Both teams then fell even further in attack. By multiplying the failures. 25 points to 8 of 22 for Devin Booker. 18 points to 6 of 22 for Chris Paul. 23 points at 5 out of 20 for Paul George and 20 points at 8 out of 24 for Reggie Jackson.
In the end, the only one who survived was Deandre Ayton. Brilliant since the start of the playoffs, the first choice of the 2018 draft released a mammoth performance by posting 19 points (8 of 14) and 22 rebounds. Including 9 offensive rebounds. Also with 4 blocks. His presence in the racket once once more weighed in favor of the Suns. And so here is the Arizona franchise in position to conclude the series at home, on the night of Monday to Tuesday, in order to qualify for the NBA Finals.
