With both throwing up bricks, Suns outlast Clippers 84-80, take 3-1 lead in West finals

The Suns can advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1993 with a victory Monday night in Phoenix.

YOU SERIOUS? LA Clippers guard Paul George, looks toward referees after being charged with a foul as Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (left), and guard Devin Booker look on

Neither team could make a shot. The ball bounced crazily on and around the rim, but rarely went in.

In timeouts, the Suns only talked defence. The Clippers deliberately missed free throws in a desperate attempt to retain possession and fire up a 3-pointer.
