In NBA action, a pair of game 7's and the start of the conference semifinals resulted in some excitement for me. The Celtics finally put the Bulls away on Saturday in their exciting series by winning 109-99 (this time in regulation for once, no OT) and taking the series (4-3). This series will be a classic for years to come. On Sunday, the Hawks took the Heat out of the playoffs by being victorious 91-78 to finally win their series (4-3). Also on Sunday, the Nuggets took Game 1 in the conference semifinals 109-95 and went up (1-0) in that series. Tonight's action include the 1st games between Magic/Celtics and the Rockets/Lakers.
While over in the NHL, Saturday's action included the 1st game between the Penguins and Capitals where the Capitals won 3-2 to go up (1-0) in their series. The Blackhawks outblasted the Canucks 6-3 to tie their series (1-1). That was one great game. On Sunday a 3 OT thriller gave the victory to the Ducks 4-3 over the Red Wings to tie their series up (1-1). Then the Hurricanes blanked the Bruins 3-0 to also tie up the series at 1 game a piece (1-1). Tonight, the Penguins and Capitals go at it in Game 2.
Finally in MLB action, the Yankees lost 8-4 to the Angels on Saturday and their game on Sunday was postponed due to inclement weather with no make-up date announced yet. The Yankees now play the Red Sox in the new Yankees stadium for the first time tonight.
Till later,
Rusty Butler
