April 28, 1994: The Sonics, the team with NBA's best regular season record, played like they were the best team as they dominated Game 1.

April 30, 1994: More of the same in Game 2. Surely this series will end in 3.

May 2, 1994: Hold the phone. Reggie Williams is the hero as the Nuggets are dominant in the paint and force a Game 4.

1994 Western Conference Semi-Final: After getting so close in 1993 surely Charles Barkley and the rest of the Suns felt they had a real shot with Michael Jordan retired. What they and the rest of the league didn't count on was a Houston Rockets team led by Hakeem Olajuwon on a mission.

May 8, 1994: The crowd was silenced as the Suns stunned the Rockets in this Game 1. The Rockets took an early commanding lead but the Suns got on track in the 2nd half and held on for a close victory.

Game went to overtime where the Suns took control. Only one team in NBA history had won a series after losing Games 1 & 2 at home, after this series there would be two.
