Suns Defeat Clippers in Game 4, 84-80
The Phoenix Suns defeated the host Los Angeles Clippers, 84-80, in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals at Staples Center on Saturday.

It's rare to see a wire-to-wire result decided by just four points but that was the case for Phoenix here. A 29-20 first quarter and a 21-16 second quarter gave them a game-high 16-point lead but it stayed within a five-point margin for the entirety of the fourth quarter. Los Angeles missed three free-throws in the final seven seconds to secure the win for Phoenix. The Suns held the Clippers to 33 percent from the field, 16 percent from three-point range and 66 percent from the free-throw line while out-rebounding them, 59-51.

The Clippers (1-3) were led by Paul George, tallying 23 points, 16 rebounds and six assists on 5-of-20 from the field. Reggie Jackson amassed 20 points and five rebounds on 8-of-24 shooting. Ivica Zubac totaled 13 points and 14 rebounds. Terance Mann led the bench with 12 points and four rebounds. Zubac was the only player on the team who shot above 44 percent from the field.

The Suns (3-1) were led by Devin Booker and his 25 points, two rebounds and two steals. Deandre Ayton generated 19 points, 22 rebounds and four blocks. Chris Paul collected 18 points, four rebounds and seven assists on 6-of-22 from the field. Mikal Bridges accrued six points, 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks.

Game 5 will be back in Phoenix on Monday. Teams that are up 3-1 win 95 percent of the seven-game series' in NBA history.
