Western Conference Recaps, April 22: Kevin Durant, Devin Booker Each Top 30 Points In Phoenix Suns Win Against Clippers

This is what the Phoenix Suns envisioned when they acquired Kevin Durant at midseason to pair him with Devin Booker.
The duo was quite the tandem in the Suns' 112-100 victory against the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4 of their first-round series. Booker and Durant combined for 61 points, helping the Suns grab a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series.
Durant finished with 31 points, 11 rebounds and six assists while Booker had 30 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. It was arguably their most productive game as teammates.
The Suns are now one victory from closing out the Clippers, who played without Paul George and Kawhi Leonard because of injuries. The Clippers fell despite Russell Westbrook turning back the clock with 37 points.
Game 5 is Tuesday.
