The NBA playoffs schedule and standings has the series at 2-1 with Game 4 coming on Saturday, as Oklahoma City goes to Memphis as the Grizzlies and Thunder battle, while the game on Sunday has the LA Clippers visiting the Golden State Warriors as they try twin after getting it to 2-1 in the series and the team has said it considered but likely will not boycott Game 4 or 5 after owner Donald Sterling's comments.
The Grizzlies and the Thunder went to overtime after some exciting play at the end and after Kevin Durant hit his amazing four point shot on a fall away three, Kendrick Perkins tied the game in regulation. The Grizzlies held on and then pulled ahead for the win and now that series is tied at 1-1. Durant had a great game with 36 points, while Zach Randolph had 25 for the Grizz as they got the road win.
Blake Griffin led the way for the Clippers and he had 35 points in the blowout win in game 2 against the Warriors. Steph Curry did all he could with 24 points and eight assists, but that game wasn't even close and now LA looks for a 2-1 lead in Oakland.
The games on Wednesday night were very entertaining and the Miami and Charlotte game was closer than many expected, with the Heat coming out on top and they got 32 points from LeBron James in that matchup. James was excellent down the stretch even after he was hit in the face by Josh McRoberts and now he has the chance to push ahead 3-0 in the series on Saturday when it picks up in North Carolina. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was solid and scored 22 points to lead the Bobcats and now they are trying to cut the lead to 2-1 in the series in Game 3.
The Mavs won for the first time in years on the road in San Antonio and they have the chance to take a lead in the series later on in Game 3 and it comes after Monta Ellis led the team with 21 points. Manu Ginobili had a fine game and led the team in assists and points with 27 scored and now Tim Duncan and company will try to rebound now that the series is tied at 1-1. The game wasn't close at the end and that was a surprise for many and they pick up on Saturday as well and that will be on TNT in the afternoon.
The Blazers and Rockets played again on Wednesday and LaMarcus Aldridge had a fantastic game, adding 43 points to give Portland the series lead at 2-0. The team heads home now for two games and Dwight Howard was excellent with 32 points and over 10 rebounds, but that wasn't enough to win and in the first game Aldridge was great, scoring 46 points and grabbing 18 rebounds.
