SAN ANTONIO — Steve Nash scored 20 points and played with a right eye that was swollen shut and needed six stitches as Phoenix swept San Antonio from the Western Conference semifinals with a 107-101 win Sunday night.

Amare Stoudemire led the way with 29 points to help the Suns get past the Spurs in the playoffs for the first time in five tries.

Nash scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter to help smother a rally by the Spurs. He was accidentally struck by one of Tim Duncan's elbows in the third quarter and briefly went to the locker room. He came back with an ice pack on his eye when he finally returned to the court.

Tony Parker scored 22 points to lead the Spurs, who were swept out of the playoffs for the first time since 2001.
