The Phoenix Suns have recently eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers, in a blowout in Game 6. There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Clippers fought hard in the playoffs after reaching their first-ever Conference Finals: however, the Phoenix Suns were simply the better team.
This will be veteran point guard Chris Paul’s first-ever Finals appearance, and the same can be said for the Suns’ young stars in Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. There is no question that this is exciting for the franchise, and they will have a chance to win their first championship. NBA fans reacted to the Phoenix Suns making the Finals for the first time in 28 years, after Chris Paul’s 41 point performance.

There’s no doubt that there were mixed opinions on the Phoenix Suns in the Finals. While some congratulated the finalists, others suggested that they had an easier path to the Finals. No matter what, this has been a successful season for the franchise, and it is amazing to see Chris Paul in the Finals after his long career. Hopefully, the Suns continue their great performances on the highest stage.
