#3 PHOENIX SUNS 112 @ #1 LOS ANGELES LAKERS 124 (Lakers lead series, 2-0) Game 2 looked more of the same from the start.

2010 Playoffs: West Finals Preview (Los Angeles Lakers)

It was 2007. The Phoenix Suns eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round for the second year in a row. In the summer, Kobe Bryant infamously demanded a trade. The trade never happened.

2010 Playoffs: West Finals Preview (Phoenix Suns)

The Phoenix Suns are knocking at the door of the NBA Finals. The last time they were at the Western Conference Finals? 2006. Remember who they beat in the first round? The Los Angeles Lakers.

2010 NBA Playoffs (Day 4 Recap)

Here are some wonderful Game 2′s! I think… #6 MILWAUKEE BUCKS 86 @ #3 ATLANTA HAWKS 96 (Atlanta leads series, 2-0) The Bucks were scratching and clawing in the first half. They kept it close with a much superior Hawks team in the initial 24 minutes. But a bad third quarter by the Bucks broke [...]
