Thanks in part to the MVP?s triple-double and Jim Jackson?s 15 points in the fourth quarter, Phoenix is just one win away from the Western Conference Finals, beating the Dallas Mavericks 114-108.

Steve Nash led the way for Phoenix, getting his first career playoff triple-double, scoring 34 points, grabbing 13 rebounds and handing out 12 assists. He shot 50% from the field, made two of his five three-point attempts and made all of his free throws. Center Amare Stoudemire, coming off his worst game in the playoffs, scored 33 points and got a playoff-high 18 rebounds, five offensive, and added 3 blocks. Shawn Marion scored 16 points and had ten rebounds.

The Suns now travel to Dallas for Game 6 where they have a chance to finish off the Mavericks and advance to the Conference Finals versus either the Spurs or the Sonics.
