The final of the NBA playoff conferences in the west continues. We are waiting for an interesting confrontation with you, the Clippers will go to visit the Suns. The fifth game of these teams will be held on June 29 at 04: 00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this meeting for you.
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 series with the "Clippers" also began confidently with the players of the "Suns", winning twice on their own site, after which they also managed to catch an away victory.
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, but the Clippers players could not show anything against Phoenix in away games, and they won only once at home. There is no more chance of a mistake for the Clippers, which can put pressure on the players psychologically.

- Clippers-Ibaka (back injury), Leonard (knee injury).
Statistics and figures

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 out a good fight, especially when all the stars are in perfect order, but because of Leonrad's injury, they have already lost in both meetings on the road, because they do not have so many chances of success here either.
