Patrick Beverley seems to have let his frustrations get the better of him, shoving Chris Paul after the Suns point guard made a deep three-pointer in Game 6 for the Western Co...

Paul was putting the last touches on the Phoenix Suns’ win that now sent them to NBA Finals for the first time since 1993.

After the three-pointer, a time-out was called, and the teams head to their respective benches. Around this time, Beverly went and shoved Paul to the ground. He must have been quite upset as the three-point made by Paul just put the Suns at a 26-point lead with only less than 6 minutes of the game left.

However, this cheap shot leads to Beverly issued with a technical foul and removed from the rest of the game. He finished Game 6 with 11 points and 3 assists while the Suns earned the victory, winning 130-103. The Suns had a lead throughout the bout, outscoring the Los Angeles Clippers 64-46 in the second half.

The entire time, Paul delivered an astonishing performance. He scored 41 points overall with 8 assists on 16-for-24 shooting. He was not the only one who carried the team, of course. Devin Booker made 22 points, and Deandre Ayton scored 16 points and 17 rebounds.

The other team was led by Marcus Morris, scoring 16 points and 9 rebounds. On the other hand, Paul George made 21 points and 9 rebounds on 6-for-15 shooting. The Suns still took the win, which puts them on the way to the NBA Finals. This is their third time in the history of the franchise.
