Chris Paul’s Phoenix Suns earned the No. 1 seed in the West thanks to their best regular season record in the NBA. The team advanced to the second round of the playoffs and went up 3-2 on the Dallas Mavericks. They lost the last two games and got their doors blown off 123-90 at home in Game 7.

Paul was among the Suns players who struggled in the game. He went 0-for-4 with one point in the first half.
