Jordan Goodwin Outscores Every Clipper in 14 Minutes as Suns Roll

Phoenix made 22 of 43 threes and its bench scored 81 as the Clippers fell to 2-8, with eight losses in nine games.

Jordan Goodwin came off the Phoenix bench for less than 14 minutes Tuesday night and outscored every Clipper. The Suns won 133-110.

The loss drops the Clippers to 2-8 and 13th in the Western Conference, according to Covers, and it's their eighth loss in nine games, the Associated Press reported. They host Oklahoma City on Friday.

Goodwin had missed three games with a calf injury, AP reported. He took seven shots, all of them threes, and made six. His 18 points beat the 13 apiece from Rui Hachimura, Darius Garland and Baba Miller, the Clippers' top scorers.

The number that explains the night sits at the three-point line. The Clippers actually took more threes than Phoenix, 44 to 43, according to the box score Covers published. Phoenix made 22 and the Clippers made 15. That's 21 points in a game decided by 23.

Nearly everything else was even or went the Clippers' way. Points in the paint finished 44-44, the Clippers won fast-break points 21-10, and Phoenix turned it over 18 times to the Clippers' 12. The Suns did win the boards 48-37, so the arc wasn't the only thing that hurt. It was just the biggest.

The final margin doesn't show how lopsided it got. Phoenix led 91-59 late in the third quarter, AP reported, and no Suns starter played in the fourth, according to Bright Side of the Sun, SB Nation's Suns site. The Clippers won that quarter 38-34 against an all-reserve lineup, and Bright Side of the Sun counted all 13 of Baba Miller's points in it.

This wasn't a rested Phoenix team, either. In a preview published on Covers, Field Level Media reported that San Antonio beat the Suns 122-96 in Phoenix the night before, with 40 points and nine blocks in 25 minutes from Victor Wembanyama. On the second night of that back-to-back, the Suns' bench scored 81 points, Bright Side of the Sun reported. The five Clippers starters combined for 48.

The Clippers played without Brandon Ingram and Bradley Beal, both listed as out on the injury report Covers posted. They'd come in off a 139-123 win over New Orleans on Sunday that snapped a seven-game losing streak, and Field Level Media reported in its preview on Covers that it was their first win since opening night.

"We refocused and we got our mojo back," coach Tyronn Lue said after that win, according to Field Level Media's preview on Covers. Next up are the Thunder, who beat the Clippers by seven in Oklahoma City last month.
