"We've got to be better" Chris Paul on Suns' loss to Clippers in Game 5

The Phoenix Suns spoke to the media on Monday night (28 June) following Los Angeles Clippers' series-saving performance in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.

Paul George scored 41 points, Reggie Jackson added 23 and the resilient Clippers staved off elimination by beating the Suns 116-102 at home in Talking Stick Resort Arena.

Devin Booker led the Suns with 31 points. Chris Paul - who is trying to go to the NBA Finals for the first time in his 16-year career - added 22 points and eight assists. Deandre Ayton had 10 points and 11 rebounds.

“We’ve got to be better,” Paul said. ”They came out and they were the aggressors. They looked like us in Game 4. They hit us, they were too comfortable and we've got to be better."
