When it was over and the Clippers had just barely survived a short-handed and struggling Suns team at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Monday night, L.A. left the court feeling content with its 123-119 overtime victory.
The Suns were already missing top scorer Devin Booker (strained left hamstring) and Jamal Crawford (sore left knee) when T.J. Warren was ejected after getting two technical fouls in the second quarter.
But they fought back after falling behind by nine points with 7:09 left in the game, by eight with 4:18 remaining, and even when the score was tied 119-119 in the overtime.
