Open Thread: Suns can close playoff series at home for first time in 16 years

With a win over the Los Angeles Clippers tonight in Game 5 at home, the Phoenix Suns can close out their first round series and look forward the next one.

You might not believe this, but the Suns have not clinched a playoff series at home in 16 years. They beat the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 at home in the first round in 2007, and have not clinched a series at home since.

They have played in 11 playoff series since, won 6 of them out on the road with only 2 prior chances to win the clinching game at home.
