The Suns have had the Clippers' number over the first two games of their best-of-series taking an easy 2-0 advantage. The absence of Kawhi Leonard is surely being felt more and more as the playoffs go and the competition gets more fierce.
The Suns may have even more of an advantage over the Clippers, as guard Chris Paul is listed as probable for Game 3. The Clippers have not been able to recover without Leonard in the lineup and it really showed in the first two games of the Conference Finals.
He hasn't been able to play since June 14 due to a sprained right knee.
The Clippers have been down 2-0 three times in this postseason. They somehow thrive when they are down and the Suns will need to take another game to have a sense of more security. In Game 2, the Suns received big-time games from Cam Payne as well as he led with a game-high 29 points. Second in line was Ayton, who poured in 22 points and 14 rebounds of his own with Devin Booker also putting up 20 points. For LA, Paul George led the Clippers with 26 points but he shot 23x to reach that total.
