Phoenix Suns Eliminate Golden State Warriors to Advance to the NBA Finals
Suns Win Decisive Game 7 at Footprint Center
Suns Advance to the NBA Finals for the Third Time in Franchise History
The Phoenix Suns defeated the Golden State Warriors 129-107 in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday night at Footprint Center. With the victory, the Suns advance to the NBA Finals for the third time in franchise history. They will face the Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat in the Finals, which begin on Tuesday night in Phoenix.
The Suns were led by Devin Booker, who scored 26 points. Deandre Ayton added 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Chris Paul had 17 points and 13 assists. The Warriors were led by Stephen Curry, who scored 24 points but shot just 9-of-28 from the field.
The Suns took control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring the Warriors 37-18. They led by as many as 29 points in the fourth quarter before the Warriors cut the lead to 10 with three minutes remaining. But the Suns held on to win, sending the Warriors home and advancing to the NBA Finals.
The Suns' victory is a major upset. The Warriors were the defending NBA champions and had won the Western Conference the last four years. But the Suns played with great heart and determination, and they were able to overcome the Warriors' experience and talent.
The Suns' victory is a great story for the city of Phoenix. The team has been a part of the community for over 50 years, and they have always been popular with fans. But the Suns have never won an NBA championship, and their fans have been waiting a long time for this moment.
The Suns are now one step away from winning their first NBA championship. They will face a tough challenge in the Heat, but they have shown that they are a team that can beat anyone. The Suns are hoping to bring home the Larry O'Brien Trophy to Phoenix for the first time in franchise history.
