A Fourth Quarter Awaiting
The Clippers led for 75 percent of the game and held a largest lead of 14 points through three periods.
That kind of consistent control, even without four key rotation players, reflects well on head coach Tyronn Lue’s ability to manage thin rosters.
Phoenix’s advantage in three-point percentage at 45 percent keeps the door slightly open, but the Suns will need a dramatic fourth quarter to overturn the deficit.
The final result and complete fourth-quarter box score stats will determine whether Los Angeles secured a road win in what has been a tightly contested season series, with Phoenix holding a 2-1 advantage going into this fourth meeting.
