This is a significant turnaround after they missed the playoffs in 10 of their previous seasons. With a trip to the NBA Finals for the first-time since 1993, the dream run continued.Phoenix had the good fortune to play against teams that scored less than 100 percent in the postseason.Anthony Davis was limited in his Los Angeles Lakers game, while LeBron was not fully recovered from an ankle injury. The Denver Nuggets had MVP Nikola Jokic, but not No. Jamal Murray was the 2nd scorer, having tore his ACL earlier this season. After Kawhi Leonard's knee injury in round one, the Western Conference Finals had an easier path.The NBA Finals are a mystery as Giannis Antetokounmpo attempts to heal from a knee injury that prevented him from playing in the Eastern Conference Finals for Milwaukee Bucks.The Suns continue to take it one step at time, and they aren't celebrating their current run."It won’t hit me until the end. Booker stated Monday that we are still determined to accomplish what we set out. "... We are focusing on winning four basketball games."In Game 1 of the best seven series, Phoenix will host Milwaukee.
