The end was inevitable.
A breakup might not be.
The Clippers’ season wrapped Wednesday, courtesy of a 136–130 loss to the Suns. Devin Booker had 41 points … through three quarters. He finished with 47. Kevin Durant had 31. Chris Paul, the Point God the Clips shipped out six years ago, had 15 points and seven assists. A 19–3 L.A. run in the fourth quarter made things interesting before Phoenix tightened up in the last two minutes and slammed the door to close out the first-round series, 4–1.
