"It hasn't really hit me yet, still can't believe that the Suns actually beat the Lakers like that and destroyed them, honestly, " said Suns fan Mack Shumate. "It was a good feeling."
Shumate was one of several fans with a handful of merchandise.
"Gotta support the team," he said.
Other fans said they were buying gear for their family members.
"It feels good right now, but it's been a long time coming," said Suns fan Jeff Battle of the team's playoff run. "There's been a lot of dark days for us. It's feeling good right now."
Several other fans also lined up outside the arena Friday morning as tickets for the second-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets went on sale.
"We're a young team, we got all the star power, we have all the momentum right now," said one fan who was waiting to buy tickets.
Game one of the Suns-Nuggets series tips off Monday night.
