Game day! 🏀 the Phoenix Suns take on the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs
PHOENIX — Kevin Durant's arrival in the desert hasn't gone exactly to plan. Because of injuries, the 13-time All-Star has played just eight games with the Phoenix Suns since he was acquired in a mid-February franchise shakeup.The Suns are unbeaten when Durant plays, giving the franchise plenty of hope that it can win an NBA championship for the first time in its 55 seasons. No. 4 seed Phoenix opens the playoffs Sunday against the No. 5 seed Los Angeles Clippers.
Much like the Suns, the Clippers spent a big chunk of the season battling injuries. They're still missing All-Star Paul George — who is out with a sprained knee — but are otherwise fairly healthy. The Dallas Mavericks embarrassed the Suns on their home court 123-90 in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals last season, taking a 30-point lead by halftime. Phoenix entered the postseason as the No. 1 overall seed after winning a franchise record 64 games in the regular season.
