Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets set to collide in conference semifinals after last matchup occurred in January

The Phoenix Suns did more than just win a playoff game Thursday night.

They eliminated the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers at STAPLES Center in earning their first series win since 2010, which was the last time they made the playoffs.

Monty Williams won his first playoff series in seven seasons as a head coach.

Devin Booker scored a career playoff-high 47 points with 33 coming in the first half.

Chris Paul played through a lingering right shoulder injury first suffered in Game 1 while Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges found their games after early series struggles.
