FAYETTEVILLE -- The Phoenix Suns went into the 1993 NBA playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference after going 62-20 in the regular season, but found themselves down 0-2 to the Los Angeles Lakers in their best-of-five opening series.
Despite losing two games at home and heading to Los Angeles, Suns Coach Paul Westphal guaranteed his team would win the series.
Westphal also decided to start giving Oliver Miller more minutes, and the rookie center from the University of Arkansas helped make him a playoff prophet.
Phoenix rallied to win three games and take the series, capped by a 112-104 overtime victory in Game 5 when the 6-9 Miller had 17 points, 14 rebounds, 7 blocked shots and 3 assists in 35 minutes off the bench.
