NBA Playoffs Suns-Clippers: Here’s What Twitter Is Saying Before Game 2

The Phoenix Suns host the Los Angeles Clippers for Game 2 on Tuesday.

The Phoenix Suns beat the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 on Sunday afternoon in Arizona. 

The score was 120-114, and the Suns took a 1-0 lead in the series without their All-Star Chris Paul in the starting lineup. 

The Clippers were also without their All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard.

Game 2 is set for Tuesday evening in Phoenix, and below are some Tweets about the second game of the series. 

"You want to be the kind of team that controls your own destiny, that's our next step."

The @Suns have won 8 straight. They last won 8 straight when they went undefeated in the bubble. After that incredible run, Monty Williams had a powerful message for his team. #ThatsGame pic.twitter.com/rQMWsCQ2A7

"Do I fear Devin Booker a little bit more than I fear Luka Dončić or Donovan Mitchell? Yes I do."

“I think picking Devin Booker up too high up the floor gave him too much real estate to attack downhill,” Clippers coach Ty Lue said Monday. https://t.co/sEPkjE8Ncp
