LA decides they’re not going to tap out, go on 12-0 run to force a Monty Williams timeout.
Terance Mann has been great (20/8/4, 4 3s). Amir Coffey has hit 3s. Moses Brown blocked a 3. Wall got a putback.
Suns lead under 20, down to 78-59 with 4:56 left in 3rd quarter. – 12:04 AM

Suns lead 73-43 after returning Wall’s missed pullup for a Bridges dunk in 7 seconds.
This actually might be worse than the Kings game. – 11:56 PM

Josh Okogie had 7 points off Suns bench in 3 FG attempts
Clippers bench also had 7 points, but in 12 FG attempts.
Not losing by 30 would be an accomplishment for LA tonight based off of how they played in first half. – 11:42 PM

Well, that was the worst half of the season for the Clippers.
Suns lead 64-37 at halftime.
Terance Mann a bright spot (13/6/3/3 3s) for Clippers. His teammates: 5 assists, 10 turnovers, 8/35 FGs.
Mikal Bridges leads all scorers with 14 points (6/9 FGs). – 11:36 PM

Suns lead 55-34 with 3:00 left in first half. LA hasn’t been able to stop Suns from getting to their spots — Suns are 7/11 FGs in midrange.
LA tried to go small with Batum at center in place of Brown with starters. That hasn’t worked either with Suns scoring inside as well. – 11:27 PM

Some of that John Wall speed just on display on his chase down block to deny Bridges a dunk. Other than that, the defense has been easy for the Suns to get past, in a 17-point game. – 11:21 PM

Second straight first half where Clippers have been really bad in the paint (4/15 FGs inside).
The other problem is that the Suns already have more first half points than Timberwolves scored last night.

Really poor end to the first quarter by Clippers bench, as Suns go on 8-2 run after Diabaté’s lone bucket.
Suns lead 29-18 and are shooting 52.4% FGs. Clippers shot 30% FGs, have 4:5 assist-TO ratio. – 11:08 PM

Clippers are 2-8 in the paint. It was always going to be the case tonight but the path to a win relies on defense. They allowed a 13-4 run to end the quarter. – 11:07 PM

My honest evaluation of the Clippers is that they aren’t to be considered a contender until the two stars string some games together.
They’re a solid team without them, but how can anyone expect Kawhi to make it through a high intensity playoff series? – 11:07 PM

What Lee just did in finishing floater is something #Suns, outside of Booker, hardly too.
Okogie attacks the rim, but #Suns do a lot of drive and kick in halfcourt, not drive and score.

Ivica Zubac (left knee bone bruise) and Luke Kennard (calf strain) are out tonight against Phoenix. It’a a long injury report but there’s cautious optimism from the Clippers that Kawhi, PG and Reggie will be back soon, tonight’s absences seen as a way of managing wear and tear. – 8:44 PM

Heat open with Jimmy Butler on Kevin Porter Jr. Many teams have put their best defender on him, as with the Bucks and Jrue Holiday. The Suns, however, have Mikal Bridges on Jalen Green. – 8:13 PM

Willie Green said Jose Alvarado is dealing with lingering rib soreness. Nothing specifically he did last game. He’s day to day. Pelicans next play the Suns and “that person” Saturday. – 7:35 PM

When it comes to tonight’s Clippers injury report
I’ll just mention that it is the team’s 8th game in 13 days, with another Saturday night before 3 days off. That included a Southeast trip. They haven’t had 2 days off in 2 weeks.
Even Ty Lue mentioned that he was feeling it. – 6:54 PM

#Suns–#Pelicans 🔥🔥 is real
Battled in playoffs last season.
Got into it after Zion’s 360.
Paul-Alvarado beef.
BUT Suns-#Clippers, to me, is more heated.
Booker-Paul George. Playoffs. Pat Bev push.
Then there’s Suns-#Lakers, but who is Phoenix’s realist rival right now? – 6:02 PM
