The Phoenix Suns took a 2-0 lead in their Western Conference Finals matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers after one of the more brilliantly executed out-of-bounds plays you’ll see in an NBA postseason game.
With .9 seconds remaining and down a point, the Suns’ Jae Crowder lobbed a perfect inbounds to Deandre Ayton who finished with the game-winning alley-oop dunk.
As the entire crowd at Phoenix Suns Arena went nuts over the dunk, one fan in the stands captured the absolutely stunned reactions from ESPN personalities Stephen A. Smith and Michael Wilbon — both were watching the final moments from the ESPN set near the stands.

Awesome.
You really have to appreciate that kind of cinematography for a fan-shot video. They clearly couldn’t believe what they just saw. What a play, though.
The Suns will look to take a 3-0 lead on Thursday night in Los Angeles.
