In what could be a huge result when the NBA’s regular season seeding is locked in ahead of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers took down the Phoenix Suns 116-107.
Tyronn Lue’s team rushed out to an early lead and kept their new-look opponents relatively quiet throughout the first quarter. Then their worst spell of the game came just either side of half time, not helped by a slow scoring night all round from Kawhi Leonard, but he eventually saw his shot start to fall heading into the fourth to help his teammates secure the win down the stretch.
