LOS ANGELES -- With the building he called home for six seasons of his 16-year career going berserk after a 10-0 run by the LA Clippers, Chris Paul went on an 8-0 run of his own to simultaneously silence the crowd and begin to cast off the playoff demons that have haunted his postseason past.
Paul's third-quarter spurt gave way to a fourth-quarter coronation. The future Hall of Famer poured in 19 more of his playoff career-high 41 points to send the Suns to a 130-103 Game 6 victory in the Western Conference finals to earn a trip to the NBA Finals.
