Meanwhile, the HEAT swept the Milwaukee Bucks.

Meanwhile, Stephen Curry's torrid shooting was in display and a potential superstar is born.

Too late the hero as per Mark Jackson.

T-mac no longer a 2nd round virgin!

[CKR13]

Last night, 4th quarter saw the Grizzlies front-court completely closing the game and the front-court of Gasol, Randolph and Prince out-muscled and out-hustle their Clippers counterpart. Grizzlies lead series 3-2 after going down 0-2.

While the Nuggets survived last night and thanks to some dirty physicality but they are still trailing 3-2 against the warriors.

Celtics stay alive and staved off elimination once more. This shuts Kenyon Martin's funeral prediction the other day. Starters played well with the exception of Avery Bradley on which Jason Terry filled in and gave them the x factor when it comes to the sixth man role. Vintage Kevin Garnett tonight as the latter made life difficult for Tyson Chandler as KG brought him out in the perimeter and shot above Chandler's defense.

[CKR13]

So many easy points for the Pacers in the paint tonight. Reverse ball via the pressure release roll up works.

[CKR13]

Brooklyn forces a game 7 against Chicago with a victory tonight. Andray Blatche kept the Bulls at bay with pressure free-throws in the waning game clock.

[CKR13]

Warriors making the adjustment this game by playing big as Barnes slid down to SF and inserting Landry at the PF. Andrew Bogut had a great game of 14 points and 21 rebounds while Stephen Curry managed 22 points and 8 assists as the Warriors eliminated the Denver Nuggets to move on to the second round.

Golden State will face a well rested San Antonio Spurs.

Also, David Lee with his own version of going the Willis Reed route.

Looks like the Knicks will finally close this one out tonight.

Boston resorting back to sucking on offense (just 18 points mid-2nd quarter) in Game 6.

Knicks stave off the Celtics rally and will advance into the next round. They will meet the Indiana Pacers. These brings back memories of the 90's where these two teams used to go at it. Started with the 93 playoffs where John Starks headbutted Reggie Miller as a declaration of war. 1994 saw Miller time emerging where Reggie scored 25 points in an eventful game 5 fourth quarter and took to taunting Spike Lee. Eventually the Knicks won that series.

1995 saw the culmination of the rivalry as the Pacers finally beat the Knicks in a game 7. 1998 saw them meeting once more in the semi-finals and it was a shootout all series long as Reggie Miller continued his mastery over the Knicks despite Allan Houston's shooting. 1999 saw Miller's mark was off and his for the Knicks wavered and the Knicks advanced into the NBA finals.

The 2000 Eastern conference finals saw the last of the rivalry and the revival of Miller time once more against the Knicks. Pacers won game 6 and made their way into the NBA finals, much like the Knicks a season before.

[CKR13]

Clippers need a rally as the Grizzlies are up 92-79 as the 3rd ends. But most likely, Grizzlies will advance.

[CKR13]

OKC wins game 6 and it saw a shootout out between Durant and Harden, former teammates. OKC advances to meet the winner of the Memphis - Los Angeles Clippers.

EDIT:

OKC will face the Grizzlies next round.

[CKR13]

OKC Thunder vs. Memphis Grizzlies in the semi-finals as both advance this night. They can relive their 2011 series where the Thunder were victorious in game 7. Now Durant finds himself without Westbrook and Harden from that conquest.

[CKR13]

Knicks just got manhandled by Indiana's physical defense with Carmelo Anthony and in the span of the 2nd and 3rd quarter, Pacers outscored the Knicks by double digits. Knicks tried to made a comeback but the Pacer defense kept them at bay. One could see the frustrated look in Anthony's face after the game.

Meanwhile, OKC had a big rally in the 4th to snatch victory against the Grizzlies. Kevin Durant was playing furious in the 4th and got a bit of help from the veteran Derek Fisher. Grizzlies tried to make Durant settle for outside shots but Durant was draining 15 to 20 footers. Also, Reggie Jackson iced the game with two free-throws to give the Thunder the lead for good.
