That was about as bad of a win as possible. The LA Clippers barely escaped the four win Phoenix Suns with a 123-119 overtime win on Monday night.
After coming off a sorry performance against the Miami Heat on Saturday, a quick stop in Phoenix seemed like the perfect opportunity to tune things up and get right prior to playing Toronto. Devin Booker was ruled out early and Deandre Ayton was a late nod after missing practice on Sunday for flu like symptoms. This had all the makings of an easy win but quickly became a trap game.
