Phoenix - L.A. Clippers (100:120)

A duel of teams in great shape

  • Published:

The Clippers won the last five duels against the Suns, who cannot find an answer for Blake Griffin, who averages 29 points with 60% shooting against them

The Phoenix Suns have little to complain about lately. They won 14 of 18 games before losing 113-111 at home against the Rockets on Friday, rather unluckily.

- I and the rest of the coaching staff did not feel we were prepared for this game. We did not play at the right level from the start, and we allowed too many easy things- said coach Jeff Hornacek after his team ended a four game winning streak.

The away team were in the lead most of the game, by double digits as well, and it seemed they were in control of the match as the score was 86-102 with a little over six minutes remaining. That was the moment the Suns decided they'd like to play after all, and put together a 20-6 comeback series, and after Markieff Morris made a layup for 111-111 the entire arena was hoping for extra time. However, the Rockets had the last possession, in which James Harden made his shot, practically over two home players.

-It's hard, being so far behind and fighting so hard to come back, feeling like you can win and then losing like this- said Isaiah Thomas, who scored 22 points (7/20), five rebounds and four assists.

After playing his career best two nights before (33/10/6), Erc Bledsoe scored eight rebounds and nine assists on Friday, while Markieff added 21 point (9/14). Goran Dragić scored just 2 points (1/5), partly due to coach Hornacek's new policy for the rest of the season to bench players for every technical mistake.

The Suns have been averaging almost 112 points in the past 19 games, but their defensive game is still an issue. They allow 105.0 points and 45.5% shooting to their opponents, not a playoff-team defensive quality. Their schedule over the next few weeks is extremely difficult, and it's hard to expect their defense to improve. After facing the LA team, they'll play against the Wizards, Bulls, Warriors, Grizzlies and Blazers, all teams with more than 64% victories right now.

Just like the home team, the LA Clippers used the favorable schedule to improve their score and ranking. They scored their third win in a row at home on Thursday, demolishing the Nets 123-84. As the final score suggests, it was a rather one-sided duel with the winner clear at halftime, so the rest of the game was done by substitutes, who scored 54 points.

- Defense got us going. We did two things right from the start, defending and passing. I think we have a good bench. We're growing as a team, which is definitely a positive thing- said Doc Rivers, whose team limited the Nets to just 37.5% shooting.

The Clippers won the last five duels against the Suns, who cannot find an answer for Blake Griffin, who averages 29 points with 60% shooting against them. Coach Hornacek keeps matching P.J.Tucker against him, since he is a great defender, but P.J. lacks height to parry Griffin, who easily gets to a position he can score from. Despite being unable to stop the Clippers' power forward, the Phoenix team handled themselves well in both away duels previously played this season.

In a high tempo match with a high score, an over on Blake Griffin seems a very solid option. At first sight this pick might not be so well backed by stats, although he has three out of four overs (30, 34, 22, 24), but one must consider that the Clippers close out quite a few matches prior to the last quarter, which Griffin then views from the bench. In derbies he scores much better, averaging 25.0 against teams from the West, with his average rising to 26.1 against division rivals. He scored 45 (13/24) in his last game against the Suns, including a winning three pointer. I expect him at close to 30 tonight, as P.J.Tucker can hardly guard him with his height disadvantage, despite being a solid defender.
