Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers 19.04.2023
After all the talk about their title credentials following the signing of Kevin Durant at the trade deadline, Phoenix Suns failed to live up to the expectations as they lost at home in game 1 of their first-round matchup with the Clippers 115-110. It was a back-and-forth affair but they ultimately came up short when it really mattered despite a decent contribution from their stars Durant and Booker who tallied 27 points and 26 points respectively.
Clippers showed a lot of heart and determination in this game and their superstar Kahwi Leonard reminded everyone he still has what it takes to lead a championship team as he did for the Spurs and Toronto in years past. He scored 38 points including some key baskets down the stretch to put the game out of reach. They will need him to continue playing at this level if they are to stand any chance against the hosts
The Suns will looks to level the series as it moves to Los Angeles. We expect adjustments to be made in game two by both teams but we fancy the Suns to protect their homecourt this time around and we are therefore backing them to come up with the win
