Kawhi Leonard takes over in the 4th quarter in Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers game
After having an unusually quiet game for the first three quarters, two time NBA finals MVP Kawhi Leonard made some clutch baskets in the fourth quarter while also playing some incredible defence. However, Devin Booker had other ideas as he closed an incredible performance on the night with the winning bucket. Booker was a menace for the LA Clippers all game and even defensive stalwarts like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George couldn't stop him from wreaking havoc.
Deandre Ayton shared the scoring load with Devin Booker as he chipped in with 19 points and 7 rebounds. Point guard Ricky Rubio also had a good game as he ended the contest with 18 points to his name. The Phoenix Suns dominated the fixture from the beginning. The Phoenix Suns will be playing eastern conference team Indiana Pacers next in another key match for them as they look to make a push for the playoff berth in a tough western conference.
On the other hand, the LA Clippers would be looking to put this loss behind them and bounce back in their next game which is against the Dallas Mavericks who boast of the best offence in the league. Dallas Mavericks won their last game which was against the Sacramento Kings which is another team looking to make the playoffs. It will be difficult for the LA Clippers to beat a Dallas Mavericks team high on confidence but coach Doc Rivers would be hoping that stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George come through for the team.
It was an exciting game and some incredible basketball was played in the fourth quarter as stars Kawhi Leonard and Devin Booker exchanged buckets.
