Clippers series rotation notes: Major starting lineup changes in Game 2 (Beverley and Zubac for Mann and Batum), Luke Kennard basically played the final 13 (for Morris) and Kennard was basically Morris’ backup (no overlap), Terance Mann backed up Beverley (zero overlap), Rajon Rondo backed up Reggie Jackson (eight minutes of overlap), Batum mostly backed up Zubac (two minutes of overlap), no second-half minutes for Boogie (excluding being the defender on the Valley Oop).
Suns series rotation notes: Cameron Johnson used as a combo wing (11 minutes with Bridges, eight minutes with Crowder, 17 minutes with Booker), Crowder tethered to Ayton for most of his minutes as usual (339 with, 44 without in playoffs; 60 and five in Clippers series), Craig mostly Mikal’s backup.
