If the Phoenix Suns (42-18, 2nd in West) reach their first Finals in nearly 30 years, the Brooklyn Nets will likely be waiting for them with a Cheshire cat grin on their faces.
After months of watching this Suns team look like they can beat any other team in a playoff series with their special combination of offense/defense/closers while posting the league’s best record over the last 41 games, the Brooklyn Nets blew all that away on Sunday.
The Suns may be 8-0 against East contenders Bucks and Sixers, West top seed Jazz and Finals favorite Lakers, but they are now a resounding 0-2 against the Brooklyn Nets.
