Chris Paul was unavailable for Game 2 of the Western Conference finals on Tuesday, but his Phoenix Suns won without him. And Paul could not be happier.

The Suns point guard shared his reaction on Twitter after Phoenix escaped with a 104-103 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Suns won on an alley-oop by Deandre Ayton with under a second left.

CP3 gave credit to Suns coach Monty Williams for the play call, which worked perfectly.

Paul George missed two free throws with 8.2 seconds left, helping Phoenix get the victory.

CP3 has been out for the first two games of the series due to COVID-19 protocols. There is talk that he could be cleared to play in Game 3 in Los Angeles on Thursday. The Suns were able to win the first two games without him.
