Suns’ Devin Booker, Clippers’ Pat Beverley butt heads, draw blood

It’s been a physical opening two games between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

With just under 3:30 to go in the third quarter on Tuesday night in Phoenix, Suns guard Devin Booker was one-on-one with the Clippers’ Pat Beverley.

But when Booker went to make a move to his right, the two collided heads and sent the Suns guard to the hardwood.
