This NBA postseason has been one for the ages. With highly competitive games and unexpected twists, these past few weeks have been an absolute roller coaster for the NBA community.
Last night, in particular, was yet another example of one of those games that will stick with us for a long time.
In Game 2 between Phoenix and L.A., the game came down to the final seconds, when Deandre Ayton was able to, shockingly, complete an alley-oop and give his Suns the lead.
It was an epic moment that had Suns fans roaring. And, hours later, some footage would go viral of the reactions of Stephen A. Smith and Michael Wilbon, who were there to witness the event live.

To see two of ESPN’s most recognizable faces have such a stunned and priceless reaction just goes to show how intense the moment really was.
After taking a 2-0 lead, the Suns have successfully defended home-court advantage and now go back to Los Angeles with the series in their control. And with Chris Paul set to return on Thursday, Phoenix must be feeling pretty good about advancing to the Finals.
But don’t expect them to take their foot off the gas just yet, not against a very talented and gritty Clippers team. Besides, if this postseason has taught us anything, it’s that anything is possible in the NBA.
