The Phoenix Suns are heading to the NBA Finals after their 130-103 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
Following what was an extremely chippy Game 6 at Staples Center, which included Patrick Beverley being ejected after shoving Chris Paul in the back after a stoppage in play during the fourth quarter, the Suns are Western Conference champions.

Paul was masterful for Phoenix in the win as he finished the game with 41 points to go along with eight assists, four rebounds and three steals.
On the other side, Paul George finished with 21 points for the Clippers but it was Marcus Morris Sr. who led Los Angeles in scoring with 26 points in the loss. Obviously, their efforts were not enough to keep the Clippers’ playoff hopes alive.
With the win, Phoenix moves on to perform on the league’s biggest stage against an opponent that has yet to be determined.
Paul and the Suns will square off against either the Atlanta Hawks or the Milwaukee Bucks for the right to raise the Larry O’Brien Trophy once the Eastern Conference finals are decided.
