In the final quarter of the Phoenix Suns’ win over the New York Knicks, point guard Chris Paul was responsible for putting the nail in the coffin in Madison Square Garden.
Paul fired up multiple jumpers, logging seven points and one assist in the final three minutes of the game, which the Suns won 118-110.
After knocking down his first shot on a step-back from the wing, Paul was able to get to near the free-throw line after the Knicks switched to leave Julius Randle 1-on-1 with the Point God.

Then with 15 seconds left, Paul was able to dribble to the top of the three-point stripe for a dagger three to close out the scoring.
During the celebration after the shot, Paul and Devin Booker were visibly fired up.
