Looking to avoid a third-straight loss on Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Clippers headed into the fourth quarter against the Phoenix Suns with a 19-point lead. Appearing well on their way to end their losing streak on the last leg of their road trip, it all collapsed in the last quarter.

Outscoring the Clippers 43-22 in the final quarter, Kevin Durant's 34 points were too much for Los Angeles as the Suns squeezed out the narrow 119-117 victory. Despite a stellar 35 points and 10 rebounds from Ivica Zubac, the Clippers' defense collapsed in the final quarter as they furthered themselves from the sixth seed in the West.
