Franchise back from NBA Finals after 28 years at Chris Paul gala
With 41 points and 8 assists, Chris Paul led the Phoenix Suns to a 130-103 victory in Game 6 in Los Angeles and put the franchise back in the NBA final after 28 years. The Suns hadn’t even made the playoffs in 10 years. This time, they had the second best campaign of the regular season, trailing the already eliminated Utah Jazz. Now the team is going in search of the unprecedented NBA title. The Arizona team awaits the winner of the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks – who face each other today -, to know who will play the final that begins on the 8th.
Away from home, the Phoenix Suns dominated Game 6 the entire time. In addition to Chris Paul, Jae Crowder also performed well. There were 19 points from the wing, being 14 only in the second quarter. Devin Booker had 22, and Deandre Ayton had 15 points and 17 rebounds.
Again without Leonard Kawhi, out of injury, the Clippers’ scorer this time was Marcus Morris, with 26 points. Paul George, with a performance well below expectations, scored 21.
