The streak has been broken!
With the Suns 123–109 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in Tuesday night’s Game 2 first-round tilt, Chris Paul broke a 13-game playoff losing streak in games officiated by Scott Foster.
The streak of playoff losses for Paul extends back to 2014 when he was a member of the Clippers. With the “Scott Foster Curse” now broken, NBA Twitter went wild following the game on Tuesday night.
Diehard fans of the sport have been well aware of the ongoing saga between Paul and Foster, which is notable considering the point guard’s stature in the sport and the league’s respect for Foster as an official.
Here are some of the best reactions from social media as the curse has now been broken.

Chris Paul didn't attempt a single free throw in the game that ended his 13-game playoff losing streak to Scott Foster. He took 14 shots.

This streak couldn't have ended any other way.
Quite poetic that Chris Paul closed out the game and hits the dagger to put an end to the Scott Foster curse.
