Little momentum swing in the Clippers' favor to close the half, but Suns should be happy to be up after that ugly 1st quarter, especially with Book and CP3 going a combined 4-for-20 in the first half

George scored an important 6 straight for the Clippers in the last 2.5 minutes of the first half. Suns were starting to build something up after Paul and Booker both got shots to fall. Suns up 2 at halftime.

Suns are up, Phoenix doing almost all its damage with Rajon Rondo on the court. After hitting a jumper over him, Mikal Bridges put two hands to the floor to signal "too small"
