CGTN Sports Talk EP245 Suns, Nuggets advance to West semifinals.mp3
The Phoenix Suns have eliminated the Los Angeles 4-1 in the NBA Western Conference first-round playoffs after Devin Booker left two dominant games while the whole team was benefiting from the presence of Kevin Durant.
The Suns will face the Denver Nuggets in the semifinals after they beat the Minnesota Timberwolves with a gentleman's sweep too. Two years ago, the Nuggets and their ace Nikola Jokic had some really bad memories of being swept by the Suns in the West semifinals.
Both the Clippers and the Timberwolves will enter the offseason with a lot of problems to fix. The Clippers need to decide if they want to go on with the current lineup; the Timberwolves don't have to worry about that because they have another way to continue.
