Suns Sweep Spurs

The story of the day in the NBA world is the Suns sweeping their arch-rival Spurs. I have to admit history played a role in my ultimate decision in picking the Spurs over the Suns (wow...not even close on that one). So what was there difference? Basketball-reference does an outstanding job of breaking it down . In summary, the Suns kept the Spurs from dominating the boards and turned the Spurs defense into Swiss cheese. Perhaps age finally caught up to the Spurs. Or Alvin Gentry/Amar'e contract situation meant that the Suns finally figured out how to have a half court offense. Whatever the case....the Suns stomped all over the Spurs....much to the surprise of well everyone....

Most shocking result of the NBA Playoffs... and this was the most shocking result since the ouster of the Dallas Mavericks by Golden State in 2007. The Suns almost gave up on the season... supposedly, according to SI's Chris Mannix, the turning point was when Jason Terry said to the press that the Suns "have no idea how to play defense." That was their motivation. Granted, they still play great offense though!
