Phoenix Suns took a 3-1 series lead after Saturday's 112-100 win over the Los Angeles Clippers at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The Suns outscored the Clippers, 64-44, after Los Angeles started the second half with a 9-0 run to take a quick 56-48 lead. After the first seven points of that run, Williams called a timeout with 10:56 left in the third.
Then the Suns got back-to-back 3s from Paul and Durant off Booker assists put the Suns up two, 68-66, forcing Lue to call a timeout with 5:17 left in the third.When Igor Kokoskov looked to have Booker play point guard in the 2018-19 season because, quite frankly, he didn’t have one, the whole"Point Book" concept sounded cool — but looked bad.
Next year, they traded Rubio in a deal that brought in Paul, the best pure point guard of his generation. Paul ran the show, but again, Williams gave Booker opportunities to facilitate.Now they have Durant, who can get his shot whenever and find people, but Booker has the ball a great deal of the time — and Paul, who is third all-time in assists, is playing more off the ball.Take a minute to make sure now. Didn’t think so.
He tied a career playoff high with 11 assists in Game 1 and has had timely dimes in this series. He’s still looking to find Deandre Ayton, even though Ayton’s hands have been unreliable of late.He also helped his big teammate on the boards, too.
