PHOENIX — Dana and Lisa Lindebak have been Phoenix Suns fans for more than 40 years. The Arizona natives attended the game against the L.A. Clippers on Wednesday, having no idea this game would be like no other.
The Phoenix Suns had other plans.
The Lindebaks were the first to take an envelope that — unbeknownst to them — contained upgrades to courtside seats.
"No way!" Dana and Lisa Lindebak can be heard saying upon receiving the tickets in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. "Holy cow!"
As the pair are taken to their upgraded seats, Lisa Lindebak said she's never sat courtside before.
"And on the last game of the season!" Lisa Lindebak said.
Dana and Lisa Lindebak got to see the team take to the court before getting an up-close view of the game — all because they grabbed an envelope.
The Suns credited Fry's food store for being able to upgrade the Lindebaks' tickets.
Now that's what we call a slam dunk!
