The playoffs came early this year in an epic Eastern Conference thriller between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was a tale of two halves as both teams fought tooth and nail for the third seed in the East.
The Washington Wizards got a big boost on Saturday as their starting point guard and five-time all-star John Wall returned to the lineup. After missing 27 games where the Wizards went 15-12, Wall came back in a big way leading his Wizards to a 107-93 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Wall finished the game with […]
What. A. Game. Led by Russell Westbrook and his well-known friend, the triple-double, the Oklahoma City Thunder squeaked by the Toronto Raptors in a 132-125 shootout.
