After 41 points and earning a trip to the NBA Finals, Twitter gave Chris Paul his flowers

NBA, Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns are going to the NBA Finals, and Chris Paul is a big reason why.

The veteran point guard and future Hall of Famer absolutely dominated the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals. CP3 was on fire during perhaps the biggest game of his career, dropping 41 points to go with eight assists, four rebounds and three steals in a 130-103 win. The 36-year-old guard tied his career playoff high in points in the victory, and was noticeably on fire in the third quarter, hitting three 3-pointers and going on an 8-0 run to close it out by himself.

In appreciation for Paul making his first-ever NBA Finals, his fellow stars gave him props on Twitter.

Suns coach Monty Williams also received a nice tribute from Jeremy Lin.

The next day, Patrick Beverley even apologized to CP3 for shoving him later in the game.

The Suns will face either the Atlanta Hawks or Milwaukee Bucks, who are currently tied 2-2 in the Eastern Conference finals.
