The Phoenix Suns will be playing in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1993 after defeating the host Los Angeles Clippers 130-103 in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday at Staples Center.
Chris Paul’s 41 points on 16-of-24 shooting (7-of-8 from three-point range) and eight assists guided the Suns, who also benefitted from Devin Booker’s 22 points and Deandre Ayton’s 16-point, 17-rebound double-double.
Phoenix shot 56.4 percent from the field and hit 17-of-31 three-pointers. A 16-3 run that spanned the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth gave Phoenix a comfortable 105-85 lead en route to the 27-point win.
