Booker shot 18 for 29 and had seven rebounds, three steals and two blocks while playing a game-high 44 minutes. He"If it was up to me, I wouldn’t have been out those 12 minutes. My body feels good," Booker said. "I dedicate my whole entire life to this sport and this game. When you have it going like that on the big stage, there’s nothing else you can ask for."
Despite the heroics of former UCLA stars Powell and Westbrook, the Clippers sorely missed Leonard’s offense. He had 38 points in a Game 1 win at Phoenix and 31 in a loss in Game 2. Westbrook scored seven in a row to cut the Clippers’ deficit to 71-66. The Suns answered with eight straight, capped by Durant’s vicious one-handed slam, to lead 79-66. They were ahead by seven going into the fourth.
