The Dallas Mavericks lost last night to the Portland Trail Blazers, losing 97-92 and giving Portland some hope in the series. Dallas remains in charge with a two games to one series advantage, but the win for Portland at least gives them hope. Still, Dallas is in a nice position and will look to take a 3-1 series lead on Saturday.
↵Two other games took place last night, and both of those games were Eastern Conference affairs. Not surprisingly, the Bulls bested the Pacers 88-84, giving Chicago a 3-0 series advantage. Indiana has played the Bulls tough in each of the three games and has nothing to show for it - I fully expect the Bulls to finish this in four.
↵The other game last night again resulted in a 3-0 series lead, in this instance for the Miami Heat. The Heat handled the 76ers, winning 100-94 and will look to clinch the series in just four games.
↵Three games will take place tonight in the NBA. The Knicks, trailing in the series 2-0, host the Boston Celtics. The Hawks and the Magic will play game three tonight in Atlanta - that series is all tied up at one. And finally, in the Western Conference, the Hornets host the Lakers with that series tied at one as well.
↵Idle the last two days have been the Spurs and Grizzles, who will play their Game 3 on Saturday night.
