Spurs on brink as GSW advance
NO huge NBA surprises today either, either with Golden State advancing or Toronto keeping Miami battling.
No surprises, Curry or Ced
IT was no surprise today when Golden State Warriors' Steph Curry won his second consecutive NBA MVP award.
That's more like it
NOW that’s more like it as last night our NBL All-Australian touring team went on a 13-0 tear to beat China 72-64 in Guangzhou, levelling their three-game series 1-1.
NBL-China was 57-49 and 40 winks
CAN’T speak for anyone else but I just had the most sound night’s sleep so far in 2016, so the Sino-Australia Challenge last night wasn’t all bad after all.
Three-for-all free-for-all
THE Cleveland Cavaliers hit an NBA record 25 3-pointers in their 123-98 route of the Atlanta Hawks today, seizing a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference Semi Final series.
Even fulltime refs swallow whistles
JUST when you think it’s time to start agitating for the NBL to employ a cluster of fulltime referees, Game 2 of the NBA’s Western Conference semi final shows it makes no difference.
Top point guards hurt
THERE wasn’t a lot of good news in the NBA’s Western Conference today with LA’s Chris Paul breaking his hand and Golden State superstar Steph Curry confirmed to have a sprained MCL.
Patty through and Aron out
AUSSIE Olympians, Patty Mills and Matthew Dellavedova have moved on to the second round of the NBA playoffs, Aron Baynes is out and Andrew Bogut needs one more win.
Hornets buzzing, at last
CHARLOTTE: Jeremy Lin scored 18 points to lead a balanced Charlotte attack as the Hornets beat the Miami Heat 96-80 for their first NBA playoff victory in 14 years.
