The Tweets from Bayless and Undisputed can be seen embedded below.

It just felt so over on Saturday night. Phoenix had their chance, you're up 37-21, and you give up an 87-57 run at home when the NBA championship is within your grasp. It's just pathetic. More @Undisputed, now on FS1. https://t.co/FhnA0WOf9x
