Both teams shooting well, Ayton finishing superb, Cousins with 2 quick 3's off the bench, Suns up 4 at the quarter and then 9 at the half. The Clippers undersized lineup not resisting at the rim or matching on the boards and George having a quiet game. The Clippers go on a 10-0 run late in the 3rd, but Paul goes on a run of his own, kicking the Suns lead back out to 20. He also may as well have a bloody whistle, since he controls the refs. Suns advance to the NBA Finals. The Suns shot extremely well, putting up 30+ points each quarter. Both teams took care of the ball, the Suns +15 on the boards. Paul with a pretty flawless game, 41 points, 7 of 8 from range, 8 assists, 3 steals and no turnovers. Ayton 16 points, 17 boards, 2 blocks. Crowder with five 3's, Booker 22 points. Morris with 26 points and 9 boards for the Clippers, George 21 points.
