Kevin Durant had 25 points, with seven boards, while Bradley Beal scored 24. Devin Booker was rational, ending the night with 15 buckets, six assists, and four boards. Phoenix had trouble controlling the glass, with them having just 42 boards compared to LAC’s 51.

AD scored 36 points with 16 boards, four assists, and three blocks. He was by far the best player that night. Rui Hachimura added 18 points, LeBron 16, and Austin Reaves 12.
