Jae Crowder, interviewed after the game, commented on the win against the Clippers, referring to the Beverley episode as the moment when the opponents “broke”:
“We knew they were in pieces. We know we tore them apart. There is no better sign of letting up than that moment. Once we knew we had won, we also knew that at some point they would break apart. I think that’s pretty much what you saw. You saw the breaking point with one of their leaders locked in the locker room. And this was a great feeling to experience, especially in the Playoffs. A great emotion. “
Jae Crowder was one of the protagonists of the series and of Race 6, for the Phoenix Suns. During the night he scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, finishing with a nice +19 plus / minus. Crowder’s ability to mark the best opponents and open the field in attack proved to be fundamental for the young Suns, who also find in Jae the leadership and experience necessary in crucial moments. The 30-year-old winger will return to the Finals for the second consecutive year, having reached the goal in 2020 with the Miami Heat.
