SAN ANTONIO (AP) -Maybe the Phoenix Suns really have a chance this time.
The San Antonio Spurs retreated home Thursday after falling behind 2-0 to Phoenix in the Western Conference semifinals. Game 3 is Friday night in San Antonio.
It’s the most commanding lead Phoenix has built in a decade of postseason misery against the four-time NBA champion Spurs. The Suns have lost four consecutive playoff series to San Antonio since 2003, and Steve Nash has never gotten past them in six tries.
But things are looking up. Only 14 teams in NBA history have climbed back from a 2-0 deficit, and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich bristled at the notion that San Antonio doing it two years ago against New Orleans means anything.
