Welcome to the Yahoo Sports NBA playoff tracker, your daily one-stop shop for all the latest game results from each NBA playoff series. Here’s a look at Thursday’s games.
The Phoenix Suns picked up right where they left off on Thursday night.
The Suns, after dominating in Game 5 on Tuesday, cruised to a 113-100 win over the defending champions Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday to close out their opening round playoff series 4-2 at the Staples Center.
The Suns jumped out early once again, and secured a 22-point lead after just the first 12 minutes of the game while holding the Lakers to just 14 points in the opening quarter. Devin Booker dropped 22 of his season-high 47 points in that first period, too, while going a perfect 6-of-6 from behind the arc.
Lakers star Anthony Davis injured his groin yet again in the first quarter, and left less than six minutes into the game. He had gone down first in Game 4 and missed all of Game 5, though was cleared to return just before tipoff in Game 6.
