Booker still on fire from last game, matching Porter's 1st quarter of 22 in the other series, Davis off and LeBron still not taking responsibility. The Lakers down 29 in the 2nd, Caldwell-Pope giving them some life. Crowder making shots, but his defense allowing easy points when they're struggling. Phoenix up 21 at the half, Booker 7 of 8 from range. The on-ball pressure by Schroder picks up, Booker keeps the Suns ticking along though up 13 heading into the last. When the Lakers gets within 10, Paul takes over despite his injury, the Suns closing out the series 4-2. LeBron scored well here, but a lot of immature actions, during the game and after it, continuing on from the previous game. At least go show respect to the young fellas performing in their first playoff series, real good role model. The Suns shot above 50% from the field and 3, while the Lakers just 29% from 3. The Lakers with just 7 turnovers, Suns +7 on the boards. Booker with a super efficient 47 points, 15 of 22 from the field, with 11 boards. LeBron 29, 9 and 7, with 2 steals, 2 blocks. Crowder 6 of 9 from 3, with 2 blocks. Paul 12 assists, 1 turnover.
