LOS ANGELES — Not many players walked away from Game 4 of the Western Conference finals with an efficient scoring night.
It was an ugly, brick-shooting affair the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns were embroiled in on Saturday night at Staples Center.
But the difference-maker was one of the rare players who had a dominant evening as it was big man Deandre Ayton who led the Suns to an 84-80 win to give his team a commanding 3-1 series lead.
Ayton recorded 19 points on 8-for-14 shooting, a career-high 22 rebounds and four blocks in 41 minutes.
