Devin Booker goes off for 47 points as Suns eliminate Clippers

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have some flaws and perhaps they still haven't truly been tested but do they have a hellacious 1-2 punch.

Devin Booker and Kevin Durant hit the wounded LA Clippers with an unrelenting barrage of impact plays over the last 10 days, culminating with a narrow and thrilling 136-130 Game 5 victory Tuesday to close out the first-round series, 4-1.

When Booker wasn't drilling jumpers/slashing in transition/firing bullet passes/blocking shots/getting steals, it was Durant contributing smooth pull-ups/foul-drawing drives/needed rebounds.

Booker capped off a brilliant two-way series with 47 points on a slick 19-of-27 shooting.
