L.A. Clippers 118, Phoenix 106 (series tied, 3-3)
The Clippers played well in the face of elimination, shooting a phenomenal 61.5% from the field en route to a decisive victory over the #2-seeded Suns. Elton Brand once again dominated the front line of Phoenix, posting 30 points, 12 boards and five blocks. In the series, he’s averaging 30.0 ppg, 10.7 rpg, 4.8 apg and 3.5 bpg, while shooting .585 from the field. Four other Clippers scored in double figures, led by Corey Maggette, who went for 25/8. Quinton Ross chipped in 18 points, hitting jumper after jumper, making the Suns pay for doubling off of him. Shawn Marion had another great game for the Suns, scoring 34 points and grabbing nine boards in the loss. Game 7 is on Monday, and if it is as exciting as the series has been, it should be a doozy. Hopefully, we don’t get a letdown like Game 7 of the Suns/Lakers series.
