Steve Nash's Five Greatest Games

#2 Steve Nash vs the Dallas Mavericks (2005)

Exploding for a career-high 48 points on 20/28 shooting, Nash combined his efficiency with ruthlessness as never seen before from the two-time MVP

At No. 2, drops in his highest scoring outing in an NBA Playoffs game.

A year after moving on from the Dallas Mavericks, the newly crowned MVP was facing his old team and best friend, Dirk Nowitzki, in a tantalizing Western Conference Semi-Finals series.

Going into Game 4, with the Suns leading 2-1, Dallas changed their game plan and invited a generally pass first to shoot and score.

And shoot and score he did.

Exploding for a career-high 48 points on 20/28 shooting, Nash combined his efficiency with ruthlessness as never seen before from the two-time MVP.

Though the Suns did not win the game, it showed a very rare side of Steve Nash.
