Basketball is finally back and here's the TV schedule of the NBA Playoffs two games hit the air Friday evening. Find out where to watch and at what time to watch the games as the Miami Heat face the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors host the San Antonio Spurs.
Heat vs. Bulls
Tune it ESPN for both games. The action begins at 8 p.m. ET from the United Center in Chicago. Warning: you might be tuning into what looks like a boxing match. The Bulls and Heat have made it clear that this is going to be a physical game and the referees have also made it clear that the they will call everything they see and kick players out if necessary.
There's were the numbers from Game 2. There were 51 personal fouls, 9 technical fouls, 2 ejections and 1 flagrant foul. Taj Gibson adds the number $25,000, which are the amount of dollars he was fined by the NBA for sporting a potty mouth with an official.
The Heat look like they are in control now. Tom Thibodeau is a little concerned because, although his team has always been physical they have never lost their cool the way they did on Wednesday in Game 2.
There will be no Derrick Rose, so once again, the Bulls will try to muscle their way through another playoff game.
Spurs vs. Warriors
The Spurs might be in trouble. Watch this Game 3 on ESPN at 10:30 p.m. ET as the Warriors look to make it rain swishes upon the Spurs. San Antonio has a second worry now, Klay Thompson. Chances are he won't score 29 points in a half again, but at least Stephen Curry will have a chance to run around a little freer.
The Spurs have been chasing the Warriors all series long, practically saving their season in Game 1 as they sent things to double overtime. Had they not won Game 1, the Warriors would have played with even more confidence. Their key, as Coach Mark Jackson taught them, was to have amnesia.
Can the Warriors take the 2-1 lead? Let's watch and find out.
