The Clippers demolished the Suns 116-102 in a make or break Game 5 of the Western Conference finals. The LA based outfit looked extremely sharp, barely missing any shots, and played stellar defence. Marcus Morris and Paul George lead the Clippers with 22 and 41 points, respectively.

The Suns struggled to stop the duo all night and had no answer for the Clippers’ offence.

The Suns saw their first lead through a Chris Paul midrange jumpshot to make it 62-61. However, thanks to Paul George’s huge 20 point 3rd quarter, the Clippers gained a massive advantage.

Clippers’ Patrick Beverley Mocks Chris Paul

During the 3rd quarter, Patrick Beverley was called for a flagrant foul on Suns’ Chris Paul. However, Beverley visibility showed his disagreement for the foul on Chris Paul by mocking him for flopping on the play which was later reviewed, and the foul was given.

Paul was attempting a three when Beverley slipped the screen of DeAndre Ayton and crashed into CP3. The foul looked dangerous and Paul landed awkwardly on his back. However, Paul didn’t sustain any injuries and got up to shoot free throws.
