Final score by quarter
| Quarter | LA Clippers | Phoenix Suns |
| First | 24 | 20 |
| Second | 25 | 23 |
| Third | 36 | 28 |
| Fourth | 32 | 22 |

Kawhi Leonard: Los Angeles’ leading scorer
Leonard finished with 25 points, eight rebounds, and five assists in approximately 30 minutes. He made nine of his 20 field-goal attempts and six of his 10 free throws.
His performance was significant for more than the scoring total. Leonard supplied a dependable scoring option while also contributing on the boards and helping teammates create opportunities. His five assists were the highest total among Clippers players in the supplied box score.
His shooting was not flawless. Leonard made just one of five attempts from three-point range and converted 60% of his free throws. Nevertheless, his 25 points made him the game’s leading scorer.
The broader lesson from his performance is that a star player does not need an exceptional three-point shooting night to influence a game. Leonard combined perimeter attempts, inside scoring opportunities, and trips to the free-throw line to produce a strong overall result.
Ivica Zubac: The rebounding difference-maker
Zubac recorded 14 points and 20 rebounds in 33 minutes. He made all five of his field-goal attempts, added one block, and collected three offensive rebounds.
His 20 rebounds were the most by any player in the game. The total included 17 defensive rebounds, showing how consistently he secured the ball after Phoenix missed a shot.
Zubac’s field-goal efficiency was especially notable. Going five for five from the field means every recorded attempt became a basket. His free-throw shooting was less successful, as he converted four of nine attempts.
The most important aspect of his performance, however, was the possession battle. Rebounding limits opponents’ second chances and gives a team more control over the pace of a game. Zubac helped Los Angeles establish a major advantage in this area.
Phoenix finished with 35 total rebounds, while the Clippers collected 63. That 28-rebound gap was one of the clearest statistical explanations for the final score.
Jordan Miller: The bench scorer who changed the equation
Miller scored 20 points in just 24 minutes, making him the Clippers’ second-leading scorer. He converted seven of 12 field-goal attempts, including three of four from beyond the arc, and made three of four free throws.
His 20-point performance was particularly valuable because it reduced the pressure on Leonard to carry the offense alone. Miller’s three successful three-pointers also helped Los Angeles maintain its scoring pace when its starting players were not responsible for every possession.
He finished with five rebounds and two assists, recording a plus/minus of +18.
A strong bench performance can affect a game in several ways. It maintains scoring pressure, allows starters to rest, and makes defensive adjustments more difficult for the opposition. Miller supplied all three benefits by giving the Clippers another productive offensive option.
John Collins and Kobe Sanders provide support
Collins contributed 16 points and nine rebounds while shooting six for 10 from the field. He also recorded four offensive rebounds, helping Los Angeles create extra opportunities near the basket.
His combination of efficient scoring and rebounding complemented Zubac’s interior presence. Rather than depending on one big man to dominate every possession, the Clippers received useful production from multiple frontcourt players.
Sanders added 12 points, four assists, and two made three-pointers. He shot five for nine from the field and finished with a +16 plus/minus.
Sanders’ contribution was especially relevant because he started in place of James Harden, who was unavailable for personal reasons according to the game recap. His four assists helped distribute the offense, while his two three-pointers added spacing around the Clippers’ interior scorers.
Supporting contributions from the Clippers bench
Several other players helped round out the win.
- Brook Lopez: Eight points, three assists, and one block in 21 minutes. His +19 plus/minus reflected the team’s strong overall performance during his court time.
- Nicolas Batum: Three points and eight rebounds in 22 minutes. His rebounding gave the Clippers additional support outside their primary frontcourt scorers.
- Cam Christie: Six points and three rebounds in 14 minutes. He recorded the game’s highest player plus/minus at +25.
- Kobe Brown: Two points, one rebound, two assists, and one steal in three minutes.
- Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Three points, one rebound, and one block in three minutes.
Plus/minus should be interpreted carefully. It measures the team’s scoring margin while a player is on the floor, not the number of points that player personally created. Christie’s +25 is an impressive game figure, but it does not mean he individually produced 25 points of value.
Even with that limitation, the distribution of positive plus/minus figures illustrates how broadly Los Angeles maintained its advantage.
Phoenix Suns Player Stats and Individual Performance
Phoenix had two high-scoring players in Grayson Allen and Dillon Brooks, but their individual production was not enough to offset the team’s shooting problems. The Suns made 31 of 93 field-goal attempts, leaving them with a field-goal percentage of approximately 33%.
The Suns also struggled to match the Clippers physically near the basket. Although Phoenix connected on more three-pointers, it finished with 35 rebounds compared with Los Angeles’ 63.
Suns player-by-player box score
| Player | MIN | PTS | REB | AST | FG | 3PT | FT | +/- |
| Royce O’Neale | 34 | 9 | 4 | 3 | 3-8 | 3-8 | 0-0 | -4 |
| Dillon Brooks | 35 | 22 | 5 | 1 | 7-20 | 4-6 | 4-6 | -1 |

Player figures follow the supplied game data. Nigel Hayes-Davis and Nick Richards did not play because of the coach’s decision.
Grayson Allen leads Phoenix in points and assists
Allen finished with 23 points and eight assists, leading the Suns in both categories. He made seven of 21 field-goal attempts, including four of 13 three-point attempts, and converted five of six free throws.
His eight assists show that he was involved in creating opportunities for teammates as well as scoring. However, his shooting line also highlights Phoenix’s larger problem: the Suns needed a high volume of attempts to produce their points.
Allen made approximately one-third of his field-goal attempts. His three-point percentage was also below 31% for the game. The five successful free throws helped his scoring total, but Phoenix needed more efficient production across the lineup to keep pace with Los Angeles.
Allen’s performance was therefore a mixture of positive playmaking and inefficient shooting. His 23 points were valuable, but the team result demonstrates why points alone do not tell the full story.
Dillon Brooks supplies 22 points
Brooks scored 22 points in 35 minutes, making seven of 20 field-goal attempts and four of six three-point attempts. He also made four free throws and grabbed five rebounds.
His four successful three-pointers were tied for the most by a Suns player in the game. Brooks was one of Phoenix’s most productive scoring options, and his 22 points kept him close to Leonard’s game-leading total.
However, Brooks attempted 20 field goals to score those 22 points. His scoring volume helped Phoenix, but his overall shooting efficiency left room for improvement.
He also recorded five personal fouls. That total is worth noting because foul trouble can affect defensive aggression, particularly when a team is trying to slow down opponents who attack the paint.
Brooks’ performance was not the primary reason Phoenix lost. Rather, his statistics reflect the difficulty of generating enough efficient offense against a Clippers team that controlled rebounds and scored consistently.
Jordan Goodwin offers an efficient bench performance
Goodwin scored 12 points, grabbed six rebounds, and made four of seven three-point attempts in 24 minutes. His four made three-pointers matched the highest individual total for Phoenix.
He was also one of the Suns’ better rebounders, trailing Mark Williams’ seven rebounds and recording the highest rebound total among the listed Suns guards.
Goodwin’s shooting from beyond the arc was a positive. He converted approximately 57% of his three-point attempts, a strong rate for that shot type. His contribution was one of the few examples of Phoenix converting a relatively limited number of attempts at a high rate.
The challenge was that this efficiency did not spread consistently across the rest of the roster. Goodwin’s 12 points could not compensate for the team’s low overall field-goal percentage and substantial rebounding deficit.
Collin Gillespie and Royce O’Neale
Gillespie scored 12 points, all of which came from field goals, including four three-pointers. He attempted 13 shots overall and converted four, resulting in a relatively low field-goal percentage.
O’Neale added nine points and four rebounds. He made three of eight three-point attempts, accounting for all of his scoring.
Both players contributed perimeter shooting, but neither could turn that contribution into a wider offensive advantage. Phoenix needed more scoring around the basket and better efficiency on its two-point attempts.
Mark Williams and Phoenix’s interior production
Williams finished with seven points, seven rebounds, four assists, and one block. He made three of six field-goal attempts and played 24 minutes.
His four assists were notable for a center, as they showed his ability to participate in ball movement rather than contribute only as a finisher. His seven rebounds also made him Phoenix’s leading rebounder in the supplied individual statistics.
Still, the Suns could not match the Clippers’ collective interior impact. Zubac alone recorded 20 rebounds, almost three times Williams’ total.
Phoenix also received limited scoring from its other frontcourt players. Ighodaro recorded four points, while Livers scored two. Ryan Dunn, Rasheer Fleming, and Khaman Maluach did not score.
That distribution helps explain why the Suns’ interior offense struggled to keep pace with Los Angeles.
LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Team Stats Comparison
Individual performances become more meaningful when viewed alongside team totals. Los Angeles won because it combined efficient shooting with a major rebounding advantage and strong scoring inside the paint.
| Team statistic | LA Clippers | Phoenix Suns |
| Points | 117 | 93 |
| Field goals made/attempted | 43/83 | 31/93 |
| Field-goal percentage | 51.8% | 33.3% |
| Three-pointers made/attempted | 9/24 | 19/46 |
| Three-point percentage | 37.5% | 41.3% |
| Free throws made/attempted | 22/34 | 12/18 |
| Free-throw percentage | 64.7% | 66.7% |
| Total rebounds | 63 | 35 |
| Offensive rebounds | 15 | 10 |

Source: supplied ESPN box-score data. Percentages are calculated from the listed makes and attempts and rounded to one decimal place. Team totals are reproduced as provided.
Field-goal efficiency created the largest scoring gap
The Clippers converted 43 of 83 field-goal attempts, while the Suns made 31 of 93. That meant Los Angeles scored 12 more field goals despite attempting 10 fewer shots.
The difference in field-goal percentage was substantial:
- Los Angeles: approximately 51.8%.
- Phoenix: approximately 33.3%.
- Difference: approximately 18.5 percentage points.
This gap is a major reason why Phoenix could not keep the score close. Taking more shots does not automatically create more points. Teams must convert those opportunities at a reasonable rate, and the Suns struggled to do so.
The Clippers’ shooting was particularly effective inside the arc. According to the recorded shooting totals, Los Angeles made 34 of 59 two-point attempts. Phoenix made only 12 of 47.
That is a difference of 22 made two-point baskets. Since each successful two-point shot is worth two points, the gap in two-point scoring alone was substantial.
Phoenix won the three-point comparison but lost the game
One of the most interesting details in the box score is that the Suns made 19 three-pointers, while the Clippers made nine.
Phoenix therefore scored 57 points from three-point shots, compared with 27 for Los Angeles. That 30-point advantage from beyond the arc was not enough to overcome the Clippers’ dominance elsewhere.
The reason becomes clear when two-point scoring is considered. Los Angeles made 34 two-pointers, worth 68 points. Phoenix made 12, worth 24 points.
| Scoring category | LA Clippers | Phoenix Suns |
| Points from two-pointers | 68 | 24 |
| Points from three-pointers | 27 | 57 |
| Points from free throws | 22 | 12 |
| Total points | 117 | 93 |
This comparison illustrates a useful basketball principle: a team can win the three-point battle and still lose comfortably if it cannot score efficiently from other areas.
Phoenix relied heavily on its outside shooting. Los Angeles generated much more of its offense inside the arc, where it converted a far higher share of its attempts.
Rebounding was a decisive advantage for Los Angeles
The Clippers finished with 63 rebounds, compared with 35 for the Suns. That 28-rebound advantage is one of the most striking differences in the game.
Rebounds matter because they determine which team gains control after a missed shot. Defensive rebounds end an opponent’s possession, while offensive rebounds can create additional scoring chances.
Los Angeles collected 15 offensive rebounds and 48 defensive rebounds. Phoenix managed 10 offensive rebounds and 25 defensive rebounds.
Zubac’s 20 rebounds were central to the difference, but the Clippers received help from Collins, Leonard, Batum, and Miller. The rebounding advantage was therefore a team achievement rather than the product of one player alone.
The effect was especially important because Phoenix took 10 more field-goal attempts overall. Even with more attempts, the Suns could not make enough shots to match Los Angeles’ scoring.
The turnover numbers require context
The supplied team statistics list 17 turnovers for the Clippers and four for the Suns. If those figures are read in isolation, Phoenix appears to have protected the ball more effectively.
That is a legitimate observation, but it does not explain the final result on its own. Phoenix’s poor shooting and rebounding numbers outweighed its apparent advantage in turnovers.
A careful statistical analysis should also avoid treating every team total as interchangeable with the sum of the individual rows. Official box scores can distinguish team-level accounting from player-specific statistics, and some secondary data extracts may contain inconsistencies.
For a verified record, readers can consult the official NBA box score for the game. The key conclusion remains clear: Los Angeles won the shooting-efficiency and rebounding battles by large margins.
The Suns committed more fouls
Phoenix recorded 26 personal fouls, compared with 18 for Los Angeles. The Clippers attempted 34 free throws, while the Suns attempted 18.
Although the Clippers converted only 22 of their 34 attempts, the difference in free-throw volume gave them more chances to score without needing to make a field goal.
Free throws can be especially important when a team is struggling from the field. For Phoenix, however, the lower number of attempts meant fewer opportunities to compensate for its inefficient shooting.
What Decided the Game? Five Key Takeaways
The statistical evidence points to five main factors behind the Clippers’ 117-93 victory.
1. The Clippers controlled the paint
Los Angeles scored 64 points in the paint, while Phoenix scored 18, according to the game summary. The 46-point difference is remarkable and helps explain why the Clippers won despite making fewer three-pointers.
Paint scoring often comes from close-range finishes, cuts, drives, and interior opportunities. These shots can be more reliable than contested perimeter attempts when a team has an advantage in size or positioning.
Zubac’s perfect five-for-five field-goal performance and Collins’ efficient six-for-10 shooting complemented Leonard’s scoring. The Clippers consistently found ways to turn their interior presence into points.
2. Zubac won the battle on the glass
Twenty rebounds is a significant individual contribution. Zubac helped Los Angeles control the defensive glass and gave the Clippers a strong presence around the basket.
His work also reduced Phoenix’s ability to generate second-chance opportunities. Even when the Suns missed a shot, they frequently had to defend the next possession rather than recover the ball themselves.
The rebounding margin was too large to ignore. It allowed the Clippers to maintain control even when their outside shooting was less productive than Phoenix’s.
3. Jordan Miller added a second scoring threat
Leonard led the team with 25 points, but Miller’s 20 points helped prevent the Clippers’ offense from becoming overly dependent on one player.
Miller made three of four three-point attempts and shot seven for 12 overall. His efficiency was particularly valuable because it came in only 24 minutes.
Bench production often becomes important during the middle of games, when starters need rest and coaches adjust lineups. Miller’s performance helped Los Angeles continue scoring while spreading its offensive workload.
4. Phoenix could not convert enough field goals
The Suns made only 31 of 93 field-goal attempts. That level of shooting efficiency makes it difficult to win against a team that converts more than half of its attempts.
Allen and Brooks scored 23 and 22 points, respectively, but both needed a substantial number of shots to reach those totals. Other Phoenix players struggled to contribute consistent scoring.
The result was an offense that could produce three-pointers but could not reliably score across the full range of the court.
5. Los Angeles remained consistent across all four quarters
The Clippers did not depend on a single dominant period. They won the first quarter by four points, the second by two, the third by eight, and the fourth by 10.
This progression shows how the margin grew over time. The third quarter gave Los Angeles greater separation, and the fourth prevented Phoenix from mounting a meaningful comeback.
Winning every quarter is not always a sign of overwhelming control, but in this matchup it aligns with the broader evidence: the Clippers shot better, rebounded more effectively, and scored more consistently.
How to Read Basketball Player Statistics Correctly
A box score is most useful when its numbers are interpreted together. Looking only at points can hide important contributions, while focusing on a single advanced or supporting statistic can create a misleading picture.
Points and field-goal percentage
Points measure a player’s direct scoring output. Field-goal percentage shows how often the player converted field-goal attempts.
Leonard’s 25 points made him the game’s leading scorer, while Zubac’s five-for-five shooting demonstrated exceptional conversion on his field-goal attempts. These are different achievements, and both mattered.
Field-goal percentage does not include free throws. It also treats two-point and three-point baskets as made field goals without adjusting for their different values. That is why it should be considered alongside three-point and free-throw figures.
Rebounds and assists
Rebounds measure a player’s recovery of the ball after a missed shot. Offensive rebounds extend a team’s possession, while defensive rebounds generally end the opponent’s opportunity.
Assists are credited when a pass directly leads to a made basket under the applicable statistical rules. Allen’s eight assists indicate that he helped create scoring chances even when he was not the player finishing the play.
Zubac’s 20 rebounds and Allen’s eight assists show why the most valuable contributions in a game are not always found in the points column.
Plus/minus
Plus/minus records the difference between a team’s points scored and points allowed while a particular player is on the court.
Christie finished at +25, the highest figure among the listed players. Livers recorded -27, the lowest.
These figures describe what happened during each player’s minutes, but they do not isolate individual responsibility. Teammates, opponent lineups, shooting variance, and the timing of substitutions all affect plus/minus.
It is best used as supporting context rather than proof that one player was individually excellent or poor.
Shooting volume versus efficiency
Phoenix attempted 93 field goals, compared with 83 for Los Angeles. That higher volume did not produce a higher score because the Suns missed substantially more attempts.
When evaluating player statistics, it helps to ask three questions:
- How many scoring opportunities did the player use?
- How efficiently did the player convert those opportunities?
- Did the player contribute in other areas, such as rebounds, assists, or defense?
Applying those questions provides a more balanced view of the performances in this game.
Season Series Context and What the Result Meant
The supplied matchup record lists four games between the Clippers and Suns, with each team winning twice. The February 2 result therefore brought the listed season series to a 2-2 tie.
| Matchup | Result |
| Game 1 | Clippers 129, Suns 102 |
| Game 2 | Suns 102, Clippers 115 |
| Game 3 | Clippers 103, Suns 114 |
| Game 4 | Clippers 117, Suns 93 |
The final game was particularly convincing because Los Angeles won by 24 points. However, a single game does not establish which team is stronger in every situation. Lineups, player availability, shooting performance, and matchup adjustments can all change the outcome.
The result does show that the Clippers could generate effective offense without relying exclusively on perimeter shooting. Their interior scoring and rebounding gave them a clear advantage, while Phoenix needed more efficient shooting from its full lineup.
The game recap also noted that the Clippers played without James Harden and the Suns were without Devin Booker and Jalen Green. Those absences provide important context when assessing the teams’ offensive options. They do not erase the performance of the players who took the court, but they help explain why the available lineups differed from their usual configurations.
