Despite 37 points from Russell Westbrook, the Clippers can't keep pace with the Suns late in Game 4 and trail the best-of-seven NBA playoff series 3-1.
said. “We know we’ve been fighting so many years now like this and we know we got a deep squad. We got a lot of guys who can hoop and we got a great coaching staff that’s gonna put us in a position to go out there and have a chance. We believe it. We know we can do it. We’ve been close in every game, even with missing Kawhi and PG.
What it was Saturday? A repeat of Game 3: A frenzied effort that would not outlast self-inflicted errors, as well as Phoenix’s offensive edge, including at the free-throw line, where the Suns took 21 more free throws than the Clippers on Thursday and the margin was 17 Saturday. The Clippers again left wondering how they could implement a game plan that called for physicality.
“Free throws is the game-changer for the game,” said Gordon, who scored 10 points. “When you’re trying to be physical and they’re getting to the free-throw line, I mean, it’s just not a good combination of things.” In Game 5, on Tuesday, he promised to “keep attacking the basket, and man, hopefully, you know, we get rewarded for doing that. But you know, we’ll see.”, the Clippers described a path to victory with ultra-slim margins. It would require limiting turnovers and bad fouls and use while utilizing what was supposed to be a season-long strength, their depth, to “run them out the gym,” backup guard Bones Hyland said Friday.
