Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was at a loss for words after watching Chris Paul take over for the Phoenix Suns to demolish the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 of their playoffs series.

The Suns were just ahead by six points entering the fourth quarter of Wednesday's contest, but they ended up winning 129-109 after a 40-26 fourth quarter powered by a 20-2 run. Paul played a major role in that as he scored or assisted in their first 19 points in the period.

After witnessing his good friend show his clutch genes, LeBron couldn't really say anything but tweet “CP3” to show his amazement. And who can blame him? At 36 years old, Paul is not showing any sign of slowing down.

Chris Paul finished Game 2 with 28 points. Even more amazing, he continues to be the “King of the Fourth” in the 2022 playoffs, as he is now shooting a ridiculous 63.8 percent in the fourth quarter.

There is just no word to describe how great Paul has been for the Suns, and he continues to be the X-factor for Phoenix to keep rolling.

Unless the Mavs find a way to stop CP3 and slow him down in the fourth quarter, beating the Suns will really be a difficult task.

As for LeBron James, there is no doubt he'll continue to cheer for his good friend who is searching for his first ever championship ring.
