G1: UTH 109 @ PHX 108 (America West Arena Phoenix, AZ) Jazz lead series 1-0
The Suns had a 19 point lead with 3:27 left in the third quarter, but the Jazz come all the way back to pull within 2 with 2.6 left in regulation and one last chance to win it. John Stockton inbounds the ball to Jeff Hornacek who (to the shock of everyone watching) hits a 3 from about half court to win the game and give Utah the series lead.
G2: UTH 108 @ PHX 111 (America West Arena Phoenix, AZ) Series tied 1-1
Game two was the mirror of game one, with Phoenix again blowing a second half lead to Utah. But this time the Suns manage to hold on, winning by 3 thanks to a clutch dunk from Charles Barkley on Jay Humphries with 7 seconds left to avoid a re-peat of game 1.
G3: PHX 98 @ UTH 125 (Delta Center Salt Lake City, UT) Jazz lead series 2-1
The Suns were great, but the Jazz were even better. John Stockton and Karl Malone both had triple-doubles, with Malone posting a 56 point game. Phoenix's defense just let the Jazz score at will in this one.
G4: PHX 112 @ UTH 101 (Delta Center Salt Lake City, UT) Series tied 2-2
Phoenix managed to hold Stockton and Malone to less than their usual numbers in this one. The Suns looked better than in the first 3 games as Barkley, Richard Dumas and Kevin Johnson all managed 30 points a piece as the Suns got a spilt in Utah and a tied series back to the Desert.
G5: UTH 99 @ PHX 103 (OT) (America West Arena Phoenix, AZ) Suns lead series 3-2
Game 5 again featured a team blowing a lead late in the game. This time, the Jazz blew it as they lead by 16 at halftime and by 9 at the end of the third quarter. The Suns however would go on a 16-1 run to begin the 4th. The Jazz however would not give up, taking a lead late. Phoenix would force overtime though, and they would go on to win by 4 in the extra Quarter.
G6: PHX 85 @ UTH 78 (Delta Center Salt Lake City, UT) Suns win series 4-2
Both offenses took the night off apparently, with Barkley, Stockton and Malone having poor games. The Suns bench though, would have a big game, outscoring Utah's bench 29-18. The Suns will face the Seattle SuperSonics in the Western Conference Finals, who eliminated the Houston Rockets in 5 games.
