The Clippers won a playoff game in Game 2 because they outscored their opponent.

They remembered just that in Game 4. 

Trying to outscore the Suns makes as much sense as trying to outdrive Tiger Woods or outpunch Manny Pacquiao. But the Clippers thought outside the box.

They beat an offensive powerhouse with offensive efficiency. They outslugged the slugger, putting up the type of numbers the Suns are used to posting in a 114-107 victory that evened this series at two games apiece.

”We can score and they can score,” Cuttino Mobley said.

The Clippers did it with variety, with balance, even some daring and a little bit of fortune and probability swinging their way.

This series has been all about offense.

The Clippers can initiate their defense by playing smart offense.

In Game 2, the Suns were held under 100 points for the fourth time in the playoffs, all Phoenix losses.

The Suns scored 107 in Game 4 but the Clippers just can’t afford to go down 1-3 with the series heading back to Phoenix.

The Clippers won Game 4 to even this series 2-2. Game 5 will definitely be critical for Sam Cassell and Elton Brand as they try to redeem California after these very Phoenix Suns team eliminated that OTHER team from the Staples Center in seven games.
