🔥 GAME OF THE NIGHT

Detroit Pistons 115 - Cleveland Cavaliers 94 (3-3)

Going into this game Cleveland had been perfect at home throughout these playoffs and they were meant to close it out in front of their fans. Instead Detroit walked into Rocket Arena and killed them. Now were heading back to Detroit for Game 7 and everything is on the line. Winner goes to the conference finals to face the Knicks and loser goes home empty handed. Sunday Night is going to be a must watch.

In the first half of this game it looked like both these teams were evenly matched and it was going to go down to the wire but Detroit had other plans. They got red hot in the second half and Cleveland had no answers and they slowly started to pull away. A below average 21 points from Cade Cunningham was canceled out by an incredible Ausar Thompson performace with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 4 steals before fouling out. This game just showed the resilience this Detroit team has and the Cavs and potentialy

Player of the Night

Stephon Castle - San Antonio Spurs:

32 points. 11 rebounds. 6 assists. Shot almost 70% from the field and 71%from three. In a series clinching game Castle showed up everywhere last night. The 21 year old is looking like a problem for other teams. The Spurs have so many threats everywhere on the floor meaning if you double Wemby somebody’s going to be open and they are going to capitalize. Tonight that was Castle. He’s going to need to step up in the Conference Finals if the Spurs are going to compete with the Thunder. Everyone’s focused on the front court (and rightly so) with the matchup of superstars between Wemby and Chet but from what I whoever has the better guard play throughout this series will prevail and Castle is a huge part of that.

🔥 HOT TAKE OF THE NIGHT

San Antonio are going to beat OKC to advance to the NBA finals.

Everyone’s crowning the Thunder already. 64 wins, best record in the league, home court advantage. But nobody is talking about the Spurs. Throughout the regular season they were 4-1 against OKC. In those games Wemby bullied Chet every single time in the paint. It was almost hard to watch from a neutral perspective. OKC are brilliant but they can’t handle Wemby. If they try to double him or play 2-3 zone San Antonio’s shooters will kill them from behind the arc. I can see this series going to 7 but in my opinion San Antonio have the slight edge.

🎯 TONIGHTS ONE TO WATCH

🏒NHL - Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres (3-2) 1am UK time.

The Habs lead this series 3-2 and are one win away from the Conference Finals. The 2 seeded Sabres have their backs to the wall and they need to win this game but they have one issue. This game is being played in Montreal, the mecca of the NHL and I’ll bet you every penny I own that thse fans are gonna show up for this game. The Canadiens were supposed to be an easy opponent for Buffalo but instead they have been the most exciting team in these playoffs.
