After nailing a dagger 3 to give the Suns a six-point lead with 13.4 seconds left, Beal held up the 3-point sign while skipping up the baseline. He was greeted by his teammates and went down the line celebrating with each one. Beal then broke into a slip-and-slide dance with Monte Morris that had them both laughing.
