Command Analysis
Phoenix ended the series against Denver a long time ago. Nuggets failed to put up a fight against Monty Williams' players and were defeated in four games. Nuggets were not even close to get a victory at least in a single match, so Suns fully deserved all four wins in the series.
We should note that during this play-off tournament Arizona outfit lost only two games. In the first round Lakers managed to record two victories over the Suns. In all other matches Devin Booker and his partners were showing a fantastic basketball, so it's not a surprise that Suns are now only one step away from the Conference Finals.
In comparision to Phoenix, Clippers are on a rocky form now. They had a very difficult series against Dallas in the first round. Tyronn Lue's players were losing 2-3 at one point, but eventually managed to step up and win the last two matches.
The same story happened in the quarter-final. Kawhi Leonard and his partners started the series against Utah pretty terribly and after the first two matches were losing the series with a 0-2 score. But the Clippers' head coach managed to knock some sense into his players and after a bad start they claimed four consecutive victories.
