Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the rest of the Phoenix Suns are on their way to a much-deserved trip to the 2021 NBA playoffs. It is the first time since 2010 that Phoenix will be sending a team to the postseason after they clinched their playoff spot with a huge win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the 2020-21 Suns.

It was Chris Paul who led the way for the Suns and ended with a game-high of 28 points and 10 dimes. Booker added his own 21 points to help keep Paul George and the rest of the Clippers at bay.
The story of this franchise has been nothing short of incredible. After an impressive 9-0 run in the NBA Bubble, the Suns still fell short of a postseason stint last year. But head coach Monty Williams knew that he had a special unit, which only got better with the arrival of the Point God.
Paul has almost singlehandedly transformed this Suns team from a young squad full of potential to a legitimate contender in the league in a matter of months. At 35 years of age, the 11-time All-Star has been the leader the team has been looking for and has unlocked the game of his young teammates in Booker and even starting center Deandre Ayton.
This new-look Suns team have climbed all the way to the top of the very competitive Western Conference and is just a game away from taking over the league.
