1993 Western Conference Finals: The Sonics are the up and coming team in the West led by youngsters Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton, but this is supposed to be the Suns year led by MVP Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson and Dan Majerle. This series went the full 7 games where Barkley showed trup MVP style.

May 24, 1993: Team effort from the Suns helps them pull away in the 2nd half

May 26, 1993: Thrilling game as Perkins nails a 3-ptr with 9 seconds to go. Suns think they tied it and we're heading to OT...wait, is that a whistle I hear?

May 28, 1993: Crowd is going nuts in Seattle throughout a close game until Barkley makes his move late ion the 4th. Frank Johnson the unlikely hero of the game.

May 30, 1993: A game of two halves....

June 1, 1993: Majerle sets new NBA Playoff record with 8 three-pointers. None biiger than his 8th. Barkley with a monster game.

June 3, 1993: Back in Seattle as things start to get antsy between the two teams. Suns get frustrated and we're headed back to Phoenix

June 5, 1993: This was the Barkley show with career playoff high 44p and 22r in a thriling game 7.

1994 First Round: One of the biggest upsets in NBA history as for the first time an 8th seed beats a number 1. Seattle led by Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton were supposed to sweep this series against the young Nuggets led by Dikembe Mutombo.

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.

May 5, 1994: LaPhonso Ellis is the hero in this game with big numbers. Seattle ended the season losing all 4 games it had played in Denver. Nevermind, they are heading back to their safe haven in Seattle for Game 5.

May 7, 1994: One of the most dramatioc games in NBA history sees for the first time ever a number 8 seed win a playoff series. Robert Pack and Brian Williams are huge off the bench and Dikembe, what a defensive performance.

1996 Western Conference Finals: Over the last few seasons Seattle were the team that should have been dominating but something kept getting in the way. In 1996 everything seemed to fall into place as they took on a team supposedly in their prime, the Utah Jazz. It was Kemp and Payton vs Malone and Stockton. It seemed now or never for the Utah duo but their time would come...

May 18, 1996: Utah came off a tough series and the Sonics were well rested for this one.

May 20, 1996: Jazz were ready to play from the start but as the game came down to the final 30 seconds and they didn't do something that perhaps they should have.

May 24, 1996: Back in Utah and the Jazz stepped up shutting down Kemp and smothering Payton with great D.
NOTE: TV network loses video feed for last 5 minutes of 3rd quarter.

May 26, 1996: Sonics became a team in this game. Even though Kemp was in foul trouble all night long the Sonics kept up tenacious defense on Malone. Game came down to the final shot.

May 28, 1996: Game goes to overtime thanks to a huge Kemp block on Malone and a questionable no-call.

May 30, 1996: Emotional game for Malone as he plays his heart outand we head back to Seattle

June 2, 1996: The Jekyll and Hyde Sonics are finally going to the NBA Finals. Kemp and Payton were magnificent throughout in leading their team in this close, exciting game. Many wondered if this was the Jazz's last shot.

1997 Western Conference Semi-Final: The Houston Rockets were 2 years removed from their last NBA title and thought that having 3 Hall-of-Famers in the starting line-up should bring them their 3rd tilte in 4 years. Charles Barkley and Clyde Drexler joined Hakeem Olajuwon in Houston and took on last year's West finalists the Seattle Sonics led by Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton in a momentous 7 game series.

May 5, 1997: Seattle's Gameplan was simple, double team Olajuwon and make them beat us from the outside. Well, Houston did beat them from the outside thanks to Mario Elie. Back to the drawing board.

May 7, 1997: Seattle decided to counter Olajuwon by starting Sam Perkins and it worked with great effect. Sonics built an early lead and never looked back. Series tied and heading to Seattle.

May 9, 1997: Game 3 back in Seattle and a much closer game throughout decided in the final minute.

May 11, 1997: A highly entertaining game that went to overtime. Houston wins this and surely has put the series out of reach as we head back to Houston for Game 5.

May 13, 1997: Down 3-1 Seattle's mission was simple: win. And that hey did by putting top defender Payton on rookie sharpshooter Matt Maloney the Sonics held the Rockets to poor 3-pt shooting and pulled out an improbable victory. Back to Seattle.

May 15, 1997: Seattle continued their great defense in taking this wild game 6 featuring a fight. Rockets almost climbed back in it as it seemed Hakeem took on the whole Seattle team, but the lead was too great. Game 7 coming up.

May 17, 1997: An exciting end to a dramatic series sees Barkley, Drexler & Olajuwon heading to the Conference Finals to face the Utah Jazz.
