Live coverage updates of the Phoenix Suns' first game of the 2024-25 season against the Los Angeles Clippers at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

The show began Wednesday night with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer standing with fans on the East side of his palace called Intuit Dome in an area known as “The Wall.” Ballmer did a frenetic dance with those fans inside his $2-billion venue before he took the microphone.

With the Clippers’ razor-thin margin of error, the team can’t afford to miss shots from the charity stripe. Unfortunately, that was the case versus the Suns, as the Clippers went 21-of-30 from that area, with Harden splitting his charities with only 4.1 seconds left in the game to leave his team trailing by one, 114-113.
