The Phoenix Suns’ troubles continued vs. the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Behind a stellar performance from Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets now hold a comfortable 2-0 lead over the star-studded Suns. Speaking of one of their stars, Chris Paul was caught on camera performing dirty moves on Jokic.

A kind fan decided to explain what happened in the short clip.
In case anyone is wondering what happened here. CP3 push Jokic in the stomach and hooked Jokic leg on the box out

A fan hailed Paul to be a more dirty player than Utah Jazz legend John Stockton.
They used to say John Stockton was dirty. But he got nothing on CP3, geez.

A finally tweeted in defense of Paul.
Controversial maybe but this kinda seems like it's all jokic. Like cp3 doesn't really do anything…

Chris Paul may be one of the best point guards in the history of the NBA. But he has a history of making underhanded plays on his opponents. Thankfully, CP3’s attempt to mess with Jokic failed.
The Joker had a phenomenal performance in Game 2 of the series. He recorded 39 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 assists while playing 41 minutes in the game. This postseason Jokic is proving why he is a candidate to win the third consecutive MVP award of his career.
Chris Paul Walked Out Of Game 2 With A Groin Injury
Chris Paul is the floor general for the Phoenix Suns, and his presence on the court is incredibly important for the team.
While CP3 is not at his best in the series, the Suns would still prefer for Paul to be on the court rather than sitting on the sidelines. Unfortunately, the reality is often disappointing as Paul suffered a groin injury in Game 2 of the series.
The veteran point guard walked out of the game midway through the third quarter. In his absence, the Nuggets had an easy 97-87 win over the Suns.
As for Paul, he recorded just 8 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, prior to walking off the floor limping.
The severity of Paul’s injury is still unknown. Fans should get a clearer picture of his availability for Game 2 in a day or two. Phoenix will certainly hope that CP3 is fine as they have to climb an uphill battler after going down 0-2 in the Western Conference Semifinals.
