Busy weekend for the NBA. At least two of the four playoff battles currently underway will go to a Game 6, if not further. Granted, Denver and Cleveland look like they are in a class by themselves; although, one could argue Cleveland is by themselves — we’ll call it the LeBron class — [...]

Now that’s how you bounce back from a horrid Game 1, shooting-wise (1-12): You bury the your opponent in Game 2 with a 3-point bomb to tie the series 1-1. Allen finished with 30 points, and while his game-winning heroics are getting the pub, it was Rajon Rondo’s gaudy triple-double (19 points, 16 [...]

As for the Volunteers, they failed where Oklahoma State succeeded as Tyler Smith [...]
