Kevin Durant scored 31 points, Devin Booker added 30 and the Phoenix Suns<\/a> defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, who were without Kawhi Leonard, 112-100, Saturday to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.<\/p>\n

The Clippers<\/a>, who lost Game 3 by five points, again made a strong run with Leonard watching from the bench. He has missed two straight games with a sprained right knee. They’re also without Paul George, who hasn’t played since March 21 because of the same injury.<\/p>\n

Russell Westbrook carried the Clippers in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 points, including nine in a row to twice pull his team within two points.<\/p>\n

Westbrook finished with a game-high 37 points. Norman Powell added 14 points, and Terance Mann had 13 off the bench.<\/p>\n

Game 5 is Tuesday<\/a> in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

As the fourth quarter wound down, the Clippers ran out of gas.<\/p>\n

Chris Paul<\/a>, the 37-year-old former Clipper, had 12 points in the fourth, hitting big jumpers from all over the court each time LA threatened.<\/p>\n

Paul finished with 19 points and nine assists. Booker had nine rebounds and seven assists. Deandre Ayton had 15 points and 13 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Looking ageless at 34, Durant scored 11 points in the third, when the Suns erased an early eight-point deficit.<\/p>\n

76ERS COMPLETE SWEEP OF NETS WITH DOMINANT SECOND HALF<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Clippers scored nine straight points to open the third and take an eight-point lead. But Durant scored 11 points in the period, capped by a 3-pointer that sent the Suns into the fourth leading 83-78.<\/p>\n

The Suns trailed by 11 points early in the second, when they outscored the Clippers 25-17, and led 48-47 at the break.<\/p>\n

Durant picked up his third foul in the period, while Westbrook, Powell and Marcus Morris already had two fouls apiece for the Clippers.<\/p>\n

TIP-INS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suns: Cam Payne (low back soreness) has yet to play in the postseason<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clippers: Got outrebounded 49-33. … Bench outscored the Suns’ reserves, 26-9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
