The Suns are one win away from their first trip to the Western Conference Finals in twelve years.
Why is this big?
Phoenix has made only six trips to the conference finals in their 37 year history winning just twice to advance to the NBA finals (1976 and 1993).
They have never won a championship.
37 years, folks.
No other NBA team has been around longer and never won.
(The Cavs and Clippers have never won, but joined the NBA two years after Phoenix.)
Only eight teams from the three major professional sports combined have been around longer and never won a title.
The NFL's Vikings (1961) Falcons (1966) and Saints (1967).
Baseball's Angel's, Rangers (1961) and Astros (1962).
The NHL's Kings and Blues (1967).
Amare finished with 33 points 18 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Nash followed his 48 point performance with a a triple double, 34 points 13 rebounds and 12 assists. Phoenix can close the series Friday night in Dallas, 6PM PST on ESPN.
