The NBA Playoff conference finals in the west are continuing. We are waiting for an interesting confrontation with you, the Clippers will host the Suns on their site. The third game of these teams will be held on June 25 at 04: 00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this meeting for you.
Los Angeles Clippers
There were failures for the Clippers during the season, which left the team only on the fourth line in the Western conference. The finish of the season was failed by the Clippers players, having suffered several offensive defeats. The Clippers started poorly in the playoffs, confidently and were able to pass Dallas in a hard fight. After that, the team began to show itself well in the series with "Utah" and eventually passed the opponent in six meetings. In the last game against Phoenix, we should have won, but we missed the victory in the last seconds.
Phoenix Suns
Phoenix is extremely confident in the season, while demonstrating a real attacking basketball that pleases the fans. An excellent fusion of youth and experience was found in the composition of the "Sanz". Phoenix looks really powerful, which was proved in the series against the Lakers, where the Suns confidently won in six matches. The Suns also confirmed their ambitions in the meeting with Denver, not allowing the opponent to win even once. The Suns players also started the series with the Clippers confidently, winning twice in a row on their own court.

Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game. Phoenix, although it does not have a stellar squad, looks solid this season. The Clippers can also give a good fight, especially when all the stars are in perfect order. I think, after the offensive defeat in the last meeting, the hosts will be able to win on their own site.
