Kevin Durant scored 34 points, Devin Booker added 17 and the Phoenix Suns rallied from a 23-point deficit late in the third quarter to beat the Clippers 119-117 on Tuesday night. The Suns trailed by 19 entering the fourth but came all the way back thanks to big buckets from Durant and backup guard Collin Gillespie.

The Phoenix Suns potentially have life. This is something that was hard to conceive just a handful of days ago - but a recent string of unfortunate events that piled up on the Dallas Mavericks and a recent skid from the Los Angeles Clippers has opened the door for the Suns to have a chance to make the play-in tournament.

Suns two-way guard Collin Gillespie has earned himself legitimate minutes over Tyus Jones following Tuesday's performance.

The Suns put forth a 43-22 fourth quarter to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers - completing the season sweep over L.A. while managing to climb back into the race for the play-in tournament. A key reason for the mammoth comeback?

Gillespie spent five seasons with the Villanova Wildcats, playing a pivotal role in their 2018 NCAA championship run. By his junior year, he was averaging 15.1 points, 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game, and two seasons later, he led the Big East in three-point shooting at 41.5 percent across 38 starts.
