4) Eric Bledsoe did everything he could for the Suns

Bledsoe was locked in offensively last night and managed to rack up 41 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds. The underrated guard played nearly 40 minutes and took 22 shots, making 13 of them along the way. After the first quarter where the Clippers dropped 38 points as a team, Bledsoe made it his personal mission to bring this game to a close finish. However, when you are a player for the current worst team in the Western Conference, your best isn’t always enough for a win.
