WOW! How about those Indiana Pacers! They defeated the Knicks last night, 93 – 82 to take a commanding 3 -1 lead in the series. Led by George Hill with 26 points, Paul George with 18 points and 14 rebounds, the Pacers appear ready to bounce the cold shooting, slumping NY Knicks out of the playoffs. Melo scored 24 points for the Knicks before fouling out. At one point, I truly thought the Knicks might pose some sort of challenge to the Heat should they meet up in the Eastern Conference finals. It is now starting to look like the Pacers may have to step up to the plate!
The old guys in San Antonio outgunned Golden State, 109 – 91 with Tony Parker leading the way with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Barnes had 25 and Jack had 20 for Golden State but the hobbled Steph Curry was held to just 9 points. This Spurs team relied on high energy basketball, winning the battle on the boards and securing loose balls, and they now are up 3-2 in this series.
Tonight, likely goodbye Chicago Bulls as they travel to Miami to take on Lebron and the Heat, trailing 1-3 in the series. Hard to see Miami not closing this series out tonight, especially with Chicago so depleted injury wise and worn out mentally and physically. Let’s hope there is no “ugliness”. Later, Memphis, up 3-1, will try to eliminate OKC in Oklahoma. This one is a toss up but the Grizzlies have been very impressive!
