2021 NBA playoffs: Chris Paul continues to be haunted by postseason injuries

LOS ANGELES -- By now, Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams knows what's going on with his star point guard Chris Paul by the look on his face.

There's a look Paul gets when he's locked in -- something between completely-in-control and about-to-jump-into-any-fray -- and then there's the look he had on his face throughout this first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers while playing through yet another ill-timed, painful injury.

"I'll watch his face to see if I see the same look I typically see from him on a night in, night out basis," Williams said before the Suns' 109-95 loss to the Lakers Thursday night to drop them into a 2-1 hole in the series.
