Through two games, this No. 4-vs.-No. 5 Western Conference playoff series between the Phoenix Suns and the Clippers is giving off matchup-for-the-ages energy.
PHOENIX — Choose your fighter.One of the silkiest scorers in a sport’s history? Or one of its coldest and most clinical performers?And first-round foes.
This series pits the two for the first time since they met for a regular-season game in 2019 and for just the 36th time all-time. Not nearly often enough. If only we could turn off injuries. Leonard rattled in 3-pointers. Durant hit none from deep, but he glanced a bank shot off the backboard and in. Leonard pirouetted and hit a one-hander. Durant’s presence alone helped free up Suns All-Star Devin Booker, who had a game-high 38 points.
Durant is finishing in Phoenix what he started in Brooklyn, closing out a season in which he played only 47 games, sidelined otherwise with knee and ankle issues.
