Suns hope to stay alive
 

Phoenix Suns at San Antonio Spurs (Spurs lead 3-1)
Tuesday, 9:35 pm Eastern – TNT

SBG Global Opening Line: Spurs -5, Total 197.5

The San Antonio Spurs don’t want to give the Phoenix Suns any hope and will try and close them out on Tuesday night in Game #5 of their best of seven series. "We know that winning a Game 6 there is going to be really tough. If we don't, then Game 7 we know is a lottery," Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. "We don't even have to think that there's a Game 6 or Game 7. We have to take (Game 5) as a Game 7. We know we have a great opportunity at home." SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Suns on the Road.

Phoenix is coming off a 105-86 win against the Spurs in Game #4 and now need to play well again to force the series back to Phoenix. "We're down 3-1, we know we've got a long road to go, but we don't think about the series, we think about Tuesday," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We can win Tuesday. That's the only thing we're thinking about. That's definitely a possibility and that's what we want to make a reality." The Suns actually blew leads in both of the first two games in San Antonio. "In our minds, we feel the series should be 2-2," the Suns Shaquille O'Neal said. "We let the first one slip away." The Suns seem very confident even though no team has ever come back from down 0-3 to win a series. "We're just excited to be alive still. After being 3-0, it's nice to feel like we have a little life," Suns point guard Steve Nash said.
