Here is a crash course weekend recap. Let's face it. Many of you may not have spent too much time in front of a TV due to Mother's Day weekend. First of all, Red Alert to the top seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. After a 20 point loss to the Indiana Pacers they are now down 3-1 in their best-of-seven series. By the way they were down 41 points at the half. Ouch.
Strangely enough, that game came after the Cavs 22 point win in game three when they held Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton to 4 points. The NBA is a strange game.
Elsewhere, the Oklahoma City Thunder evened up their series with the Denver Nuggets at 2-2 with a 92-87 road win Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexnader scored 25 in the win. This came after the Nuggets won in overtime on Friday.
The Boston Celtics scratched the win column in game 3 in New York vs the Knicks. After missing 75 three pointers in the first two games they made 20-40 from beyond the arc Saturday.
