Basket. Western wind of change

San Antonio and Phoenix are the first semifinalists of Western Conference. Spurs won 97-87 versus Dallas in game-6, thanks to Ginobili and George Hill. Mavs, second seed of the West, could only appreciate Nowtizki's good performance.
Popovich's team will now meet Phoenix. Suns won at Portland 99-90, ending the series 4-2 (as San Antonio). Teamwork was determinant for Steve Nash and his mates. Portland's hopes lie on his young players.
Three semifinalists are missing. Surprising Oklahoma City is hosting Lakers to force game-7 in L.A. Bucks have the chance to strike out Atlanta Hawks in Milwaukee. Jazz and Nuggets are meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
