NBA Basketball Matchup: Spurs vs Clippers Game 3
The Spurs proved again in game two that they are on fire.
The Spurs proved again in game two that they are on fire.
The Los Angeles Lakers looked poised to walk away with a win in Game 2 of their Western Conference second-round series in Oklahoma, but the Thunder rallied behind a superhuman effort from Kevin Durant to head out west, up two games to none for Game 3 on Friday.
The Boston Celtics may not have shown up ready to play in the first two games of the series, but they were at their best in Game Three.
I suppose it could be said that the fact that the Los Angeles Clippers made the playoffs and won a round is a fine accomplishment for a franchise without much history of success…but at least go out with your pants on.
The Pacers won Game 2 and while LeBron James and Dwyane Wade combined for 52 points in the game these 2 stars got no help with no Miami player going for more than 5 points.
The first two games of this series couldn’t have been any closer. The Celtics escaped Game One with a one-point win.
The Clippers needed all seven games to put away the Memphis Grizzlies in round one.
The Heat won Game 1 by 9 points, but they got some bad news since Chris Bosh is out indefinitely with an abdominal injury. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade dominated the 2nd half in Game 1, as they either assisted on or scored 48 of Miami’s 53 2nd half points.
After disposing of the defending champion Dallas Mavericks in a quick four games, the Oklahoma City Thunder got eight days rest as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinal on Monday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Philadelphia 76ers led almost the entire game in the series opener on Saturday, but the Celtics rallied to pick up a 92-91 victory.
THE STORY: The Memphis Grizzlies barely edged the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage, putting them in position to host Sunday’s winner-take-all Game 7.
The Pacers lost their first 3 games of the season facing the Heat, but they won their last match up. The Heat are the big favorites to win this series, but the Pacers have flown under the radar all season and they have no pressure on them since they are expected to lose.
Trailing 3-1 in the series, the Denver Nuggets bounced back with two straight wins to tie their first round playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers, setting up a pivotal Game 7 on Saturday night at the Staples Center.
Both Philadelphia and Boston closed out their opening series Thursday night in two hard fought wins.
The Memphis Grizzlies won game five by roaring out of the gate and dominating the first quarter. After that they played the Clippers pretty evenly which doesn’t exactly lead one to believe that this team is going to extend the series to another game.
Denver was supposed to be finished by now, but they marched into Staples Center on Tuesday night and stunned the Lakers 102-99.
