The Phoenix Suns look to go 3-0 against the LA Clippers in the third game of the NBA bubble. Here are 3 things that could help that.
The Phoenix Suns shocked the NBA world early this season (that felt like a year ago ) when they beat the LA Clippers 130-122. Regardless of how much this global pandemic has warped our perception of time, that game showed this version of the Suns is capable of playing with the best in the league.
The obvious rebuttal Clippers fans will use is they didn’t have Paul George in that game, but guess what, the Suns didn’t have Ricky Rubio or Deandre Ayton. And while those players may not be equal in skill level to George, they are equally important to the success of their team.

Booker rattled off 30 points, eight assists, and six rebounds in that game and Dario Saric notched a double-double with 20 points and 15 boards.
