2: 2 after wins in the series between the Clippers and the Utah Jazz. Both opponents are still missing two wins to advance in these play-offs, in which the Phoenix Suns are waiting as opponents in the West Finals.
In the all-important fifth duel between the two teams on Thursday (4 a.m. CEST), the Clippers are now missing their top man Kawhi Leonard. The Californian “go-to-guy” is suffering from an injury to his right knee that could put him out of action for a longer period of time.
At least the Clippers did not give a date for a comeback for Leonard, who had suffered the injury during a move in the closing stages of the fourth game.
The forward has delivered impressive numbers so far in the current postseason: Leonard achieved 27.3 points and 7.5 rebounds in the series against Jazz alone.
