Clippers guard Bones Hyland drives to the basket as Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker defends during the first half on Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena. Hyland scored a season-high 37 points in a 124-108 loss as the Clippers’ stars were given a night off. LOS ANGELES — The purpose of the second game of a back-to-back against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night was two-fold.
“Everybody wants to play, and everybody wants to compete at a high level, and just the team that we have, they have not been able to get consistent minutes. So just seeing the young guys being able to get a chance to play is going to be exciting for me.” All-Stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, along with Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen, Jusuf Nurkic and Royce O’Neal proved to be too much as they outscored the Clippers’ reserves, 20-2 over the final 7:48. Booker finished with 37 points, Beal scored 26 and Durant add 24 points and nine rebounds for Phoenix.
Kawhi Leonard sat out his sixth consecutive game because of inflammation in his right knee and he could sit until the playoffs, which would give him eight games off. Hyland got started early in the game, scoring 15 points in the first quarter and 24 in the half. With 1:09 left before halftime, Hyland stole the ball then raced down court for a layup that pulled the hosts within 55-51, bringing the Clippers’ bench to their feet. They had trailed by as many as 15 in the first half.
