Chris Paul did not exactly have one of his best games for the Phoenix Suns in Thursday's Game 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the 10-time All-Star was able to get the job done for his squad as they unceremoniously eliminated the defending champs in their first-round series matchup.
While the Suns had a significant lead throughout the game, it just felt like the Lakers were always on the brink of going on a momentum-swinging run. Even in deep in the fourth and final period, LeBron James and Co tried to claw their way back.
The Suns, however, kept making clutch shots after clutch shots, effectively dousing LA's comeback hopes with some ice cold water. Paul himself drained a big shot at the mid-way point of the final frame, and he had some choice words for the fans in attendance in Staples Center (h/t Ball Don't Stop on Twitter):

In case you missed it, CP3's savage three-word message to the Lakers fans was, “ask about me.”
Paul's solo effort put Phoenix up by 17 points with a little less than seven minutes remaining in the ballgame. There simply was no coming back for the Lakers at that point, and Chris Paul made sure the fans knew. Absolutely savage.
