We are in our feels this morning after the @Suns knocked off the Clippers, and are NBA Finals bound. It’s something this team and their fan base have not seen in nearly three decades, and we have fans on our force who have been cheering for this since then. #RallyTheValley pic.twitter.com/jZ3doU66do
