Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!While the Clippers once again kept the game competitive for the most part, Phoenix found a way to pull away in the final five minutes.

Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are the 3rd duo to each score 25-plus points in each of their first four games of a postseason.
They join Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal in 2003 and Elgin Baylor and Jerry West in 1962. pic.twitter.com/4c0DvahB1U
