===1988–1992: The Kevin Johnson/Tom Chambers/Dan Majerle era===
The Suns' luck began to turn around in [[1987–88 Phoenix Suns season|1988]] with the acquisition of [[Kevin Johnson (basketball)|Kevin Johnson]] from the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]], along with [[Mark West (basketball)|Mark West]] and [[Tyrone Corbin]], for All-Star [[power forward (basketball)|power forward]] [[Larry Nance]] and Mike Sanders. This was the beginning of a franchise-record 13 consecutive playoff appearances. All-Star [[Tom Chambers (basketball)|Tom Chambers]] came over from the [[Seattle SuperSonics]] (the first unrestricted free agent in NBA history), [[1986 NBA draft|1986]] second-round draft pick [[Jeff Hornacek]] continued to develop, and "Thunder" [[Dan Majerle]] was drafted with the 14th pick in the [[1988 NBA draft|1988 draft]]. [[Kurt Rambis]] was added from the [[Charlotte Hornets]] in 1989, and the team upset the [[1989–90 Los Angeles Lakers season|Los Angeles Lakers]] in five games during the playoffs that season, before falling to the [[Portland Trail Blazers]] in the Western Conference finals. In [[1990–91 Phoenix Suns season|1990–91]], the Suns went 55–27 but lost in the first round to the [[Utah Jazz]], 3–1. In [[1991–92 Phoenix Suns season|1991–92]], the Suns went 53–29. Having sent four players to the All-Star Game in the previous two seasons (Chambers, Johnson, Hornacek, and Majerle), the Suns swept the [[San Antonio Spurs]] in three games in the first round of the [[1992 NBA playoffs]]. The Suns then were defeated in five games to the Trail Blazers in the conference semifinals. The series was punctuated by a game four in which the Suns lost in double overtime 153–151 (the highest-scoring game in NBA playoff history to date). That game was the last Suns game ever played at the [[Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum|Coliseum]].
