The Phoenix Suns were swept out of the NBA Playoffs after Sunday night's 122—116 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Ariz. Suns star Bradley Beal struggled mightily during the contest, shooting just 4-for-13 with six turnovers, while fouling out of the game late in the fourth quarter.

Beal's frustrations were noticeable on the court, especially during a brief moment he had with Suns coach Frank Vogel. As Beal, who was subbed out of the game with 5:52 remaining in the third quarter, jogged back to the Phoenix bench, Vogel held out his hand for a high-five. Beal appeared to brush away Vogel's hand, paying him no mind as he headed to the bench, a moment that was caught by the TNT broadcast's cameras.

NBA fans let Beal have it for seemingly snubbing his coach.

Beal a fraud. Carried by John Wall a majority of his career. CJ McCollum and Kyle Lowry are better

These guys getting all passive aggressive to pin all this on Vogel was the only way this whole ordeal could be more embarrassing for them, and here we are. https://t.co/AbPp1bAvRK
