Three Key Stats in Suns' Game 4 Win vs Clippers

It was never truly easy for the Phoenix Suns in their 112-100 Game 4 win against the Los Angeles Clippers, but they'll take postseason wins whenever available.

Today marked their third-straight win over the Clippers to emerge to a 3-1 series lead. The two squads travel back to Phoenix for a Game 5 that could see LA eliminated on Tuesday night.

12 (Points From Chris Paul in Fourth Quarter)

Chris Paul didn't exactly get off to a strong start shooting in Game 4, yet he quickly found his footing at the right time when the Suns needed him down the stretch of the fourth quarter.

Paul isn't considered to be one of the top scoring options, though he often finds himself in wide open space thanks to Kevin Durant and Devin Booker (more on those two in a moment). Paul finished with 19 points, with 12 of those coming in the final quarter of play.

The most memorable came on a shot only seen and mastered on the playground:

The Clippers were trying their best for a different outcome, but Paul played a role in ensuring the Suns walked out of LA with the win when the lights were the brightest.

61 (Combined Points From Devin Booker/Kevin Durant)

With two scoring monsters in Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, sometimes it could be tough in figuring out which out of the duo should try to capture momentum with the ball.

As time goes on, Booker/Durant play more minutes with each other on the floor and appear to be getting better with each step. We've previously seen either Durant or Booker take over games, but today's win in Game 4 saw both of the two stay patient and allowed the flow of the game to dictate who did what.

Durant (31) and Booker (31) both did a great job of setting each other (and other teammates) up for success down the stretch of the game while ensuring they stayed lethal when needed.

16 (Suns Grabbed 16 More Rebounds, Winning the Battle 49-33)

With Kawhi Leonard out, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue has often opted for a small-ball lineup when Ivica Zubac or Mason Plumlee weren't on the court.

Even when LA's bigs were in the paint, there's been a heavy emphasis for the ultra-athletic Deandre Ayton to really establish himself down low. The Suns as a team have made it a point to win the rebound battle before worrying about anything else, ensuring they get the maximum amount of possessions possible against a Clippers team that will always give them fits regardless of who is healthy.

Phoenix was able to come away grabbing 16 more rebounds than the Clippers in 49-33 fashion. Ayton himself notched a double-double with 15 points and 13 boards, securing the most rebounds out of any player on the floor.
