The Clippers withstand a furious Suns’ rally for a win that guarantees a top-five finish in the Western Conference.
Behind a triple-double from Russell Westbrook, the Clippers clinched a playoff berth Tuesday, avoiding the NBA’s postseason play-in tournament by withstanding a furious Phoenix Suns’ rally for a 105-92 win that guaranteed them at least a top-five finish in the Western Conference standings.
Phoenix, playing at home for the final time in regular season, gave its fans little to cheer about in the early going, missing nine its first 10 shots and shooting just 10.5% from the floor, missing all four three-point ties in a first period that ended with the Clippers leading 37-10. When the Suns’ Devin Booker hit four free throws late in the period, the crowd responded with mock cheers.
