For the third straight time this postseason, the Los Angeles Clippers once again secured a much-needed Game 3 win after being down 0-2 at the start of the series.
Despite playing minus superstar forward Kawhi Leonard, who is out due to a knee injury, the Clippers proved that they can score a victory against the fiery Phoenix Suns, who already had their top point guard Chris Paul back in the fold in Game 3.
All-Star forward Paul George carried the Clippers anew as he finished with 27 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists in their 106-92 win.
Reggie Jackson also came up big for the Clippers as he contributed 23 points in the victory.
Suns superstar Devin Booker was limited to just 15 points on 5-of-21 shooting after averaging 30 points in the first two games of the best-of-seven series.
Meanwhile, Paul – who missed Games 1 and 2 due to the NBA’s health and safety protocols – looked rusty in his return, finishing with 15 points on a poor 5-of-19 shooting.
Although the Suns still lead the series, 2-1, the Clippers are right where they want to be and are looking to tie the best-of-seven affair just like they did in the first two rounds of this year’s playoffs.
Will the Suns take a commanding 3-1 lead in Game 4 on Saturday, June 26 (Sunday, June 27, Manila time), or will the Clippers even the series at 2-2?
Game time is 9 am.
