NBA Twitter is absolutely buzzing over the Phoenix Suns right now, and for good reason. Suns center Deandre Ayton's mind-blowing finish with 0.9 on the clock to win the game ranks up there with some of the wild playoff game-winners in NBA history.

The craziness wasn't lost on NBA stars around the league, who flocked to Twitter to react to the stunning clutch theatrics from the Suns.

But while Deandre Ayton got the points, it was Jae Crowder who made the dish. The Suns veteran got a ton of love from his peers for his pinpoint precision on that pass.

Of course, nobody was happier than Phoenix Suns players themselves. All-Star Chris Paul is still adhering to Health & Safety protocols and had to react in isolation, but you know for damn sure he was hyped as hell.
HELLLLLLL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big time play call Coach Mont!!!!!!!!

His fellow sidelined Suns teammate Abdel Nader was pretty hyped too, letting out a 2-word at the game while wearing a pretty sick Suns Rugrats collab hoodie.
LETS GOOOOO

But not all reactions were of the joyous variety. Clippers big man Serge Ibaka had to let out some NSFW steam, with two consecutive tweets that had just a few characters each but spoke volumes on the shocking defeat.
WTF 😳
