Steve Nash Leads Phoenix Suns to 62-20 Record

Steve Nash led the Phoenix Suns to a 62-20 record in the 2004-2005 season, earning him the MVP award.

The Suns' offense, dubbed the "Seven Seconds or Less" offense, averaged 110.4 points per game under coach Mike D'Antoni.

The Suns signed Steve Nash and started a basketball revolution, with Nash, Marion, and Stoudemire forming a perfect combination for D'Antoni's fast motion offense.

The team finished with a 62-20 record, likely would've racked up even more wins if not for a six-game losing streak in January when Nash was out with an injury.

The Suns ran into a savvy San Antonio team in the second round of the playoffs, with the Spurs riding hot-shooting fourth quarters to steal Games 1 and 2 in Phoenix.

The Spurs eventually put the Suns away in five, also taking the last game of the series on the road, with San Antonio going on to win the Finals that year.

The "Seven Seconds or Less" offense gave opponents plenty of possessions, which proved to be a problem for the Suns in the playoffs.

The "Seven Seconds or Less" offense turned conventional wisdom on its head, with Mike D'Antoni's approach to shot clock management changing the NBA forever.

The Suns averaged nearly seven points more than the second-place Kings, and more than five points more than the previous season's best offense, the similarly Nash-led Mavs.

Steve Nash won the first of his two consecutive MVPs in 2005, with Marion and Stoudemire joining him on All-NBA teams, and D'Antoni winning Coach of the Year.

The 2004-2005 Phoenix Suns team will be remembered as one of the best teams that didn't win an NBA championship, with Steve Nash at the helm.
