Miami completes its first playoff sweep since the Big 3 of Bosh/Wade/James teamed up in Miami. Without Wade, Lebron recorded 30pts, 8 rebounds, 7 assists. Bucks’ Brandon Jennings, who famously guaranteed that the Bucks would beat Miami in 6 games, ended up with 3pts on 1-of-7 shooting.
The Spurs beat the Lakers and Dwight Howard was ejected in the 3rd quarter with his 2nd technical foul. Kobe Bryant, who guaranteed a Lakers playoff berth this season (and tearing his achilles in the process), attended the game on crutches, only to see his team get swept in the first round. The Lakers were beaten by double digits in each of the 4 games – confirming Terry’s 4-3 Lakers prediction as the worst gamble of the playoff bracket.
Boston required OT in order to avoid a sweep by the Knicks. Carmelo scored 36pts, but the Knicks were without JR Smith who was serving a suspension for elbowing Jason Terry in game 3. “The Jet” got his revenge by scoring Boston’s last 9 points to avoid elimination.
#6 seed GSW go up 3-1 against #3 seed Denver, behind 31pts from Stephen Curry. Curry took a pain-killing injection for his sore ankle, and scored 22pts in the 3rd quarter, including five 3-pointers.
