| (Sports Network) - Steve Nash and his Phoenix Suns stand on the verge of exorcising quite a few demons tonight as they try and sweep the San Antonio Spurs out of the Western Conference semifinals. Four of the last five times the Suns have been in the playoffs, they were shown the door by the Spurs, and Nash, the former two-time NBA MVP, has never beaten San Antonio in the postseason.

Now the Suns have made the Spurs look, well, the way most seventh seeds usually do. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. |
