NBA play-offs: Devin Booker leads the Phoenix Suns comeback against the Los Angeles Clippers to even the series
Posted : 20 April 2023
In the second quarter, the Suns came back from being 13 points down to tie the best-of-seven series 1-1 thanks to 38 points and nine assists from Booker.
"It's the play-offs, it's win at all costs," said Booker, before Thursday's third match in the Western Conference encounter.
"We got one and now we are off to LA."
The Suns suffered a discouraging 115-110 loss in front of their home crowd after finishing the regular season in fourth place, one spot ahead of the Clippers.
They appeared to be headed for a second humiliating loss in Phoenix as Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers to a 49-36 lead with 31 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in the game.
However, a scoring run by Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, and Booker gave the Suns life and tied the game at halftime.
As the Suns gained control, Booker added 18 points in the third quarter, Durant finished with 25 points, six rebounds, and five assists, and Paul contributed 16 points to help the game come to a close after the Clippers had pulled within six points again.
