It was another dominating performance from the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 to eliminate the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. Anthony Davis tried to give it a go, lasting all but six minutes. The Suns pounced on the opportunity as Devin Booker lit the nets on fire at Staples Center and Phoenix sent LA packing for the summer.
Afterwards, reactions flooded in from every possible angle. Suns sharpshooter Mikal Bridges kept his thoughts short and sweet, by delivering a hilarious tweet after the Phoenix victory.

There's something about that specific image that whenever it's tweeted, it's impossible to not crack a smile.
Bridges went full troll mode in the most simplest, comical way possible.
While Bridges himself had an off night shooting (1-6 from three-point range) it didn't matter, as Devin Booker went absolutely wild while pouring in 47 points on 8-10 from downtown.
The win for the Suns sent shockwaves throughout the league as it was the first time in LeBron James' career that he has been eliminated in the first round. He had previously been 14-0 in round one matchups in the postseason before Phoenix decided to turn the script upside down.
While Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton are the focal points for the Suns, players like Bridges and Jae Crowder will be relied upon more as the playoffs carry on with Phoenix in them. Bridges' pure three-point shooting may be needed more in their upcoming series.
Next up for the Suns, a date with likely MVP winner Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
