Chris Paul is hyped about the Phoenix Suns pulling out the Game 2 victory over the Clippers and facetimes them following the win.
Being down 103-102 with less than a second left in a Playoff game seems like it would result in the team that’s down, folding 9 out of 10 times. Well, it looks like that 1 time that it may happen, happened for the Phoenix Suns as the won Game 2 off an incredibly executed out-of-bounds lob dunk for DeAndre Ayton, all without the help of Chris Paul.

Chris Paul has been the talk of the Western Conference Finals due to his absence for the start of the series. Though Kawhi Leonard is also out, it’s clear that the injury he suffered to his ACL is one that will keep him out for the rest of the Playoffs.
According to Chris Haynes a couple days ago, Chris Paul has been asymptomatic for a while now, after having testing positive for COVID-19. Dave Mcmenamin also reports that there’s growing belief within the Suns organization that CP3 will return for Game 3.
Chris Paul cannot get enough of the Suns Game 2 win over the Clippers.
Just like what happened after their Game 1 win over the Clippers two nights ago, Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton facetimed Chris Paul while walking down the hallways of their arena to celebrate the Game 2 win with him. Paul is heard being considerably excited while Devin Booker continually yells out, “We don’t give up!”

Chris Paul has most definitely adopted the Suns young guys under his wing in his first season in the Valley. Their on-court chemistry is crystal clear and everyone knows the Suns are waiting for Paul to be back on the court.
The point ‘God’ was also hyped on Twitter as he sent out a series of tweets praising bench boss Monty Williams for the play he drew up for DeAndre Ayton to catch the game-winning lob.

One thing that should be noted and commended is that Cameron Payne has been doing one hell of a job in the starting point guard position for the Suns, in Paul’s absence. He dropped his career high in points last night with 29 and also had 9 assists and 0 turnovers.
