Kawhi carved the up with
his 39 points

Oooooohweeeeee! The games in the Eastern and Western Conference Semi’s took us to church Sunday on the hard court as we kick it off in the East as the Toronto Raptors were looking to avoid going down 1 – 3 in the series against the Philadelphia 76er’s. In order for the Raptors to have some semblance of a chance to even the series, they would need some much needed help from Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka as they went 12 – 25 for a total of 26 points and a combined 15 rebounds to go along with Lowry’s 7 assists, but the 76er’s, even with an ill Joel Embiid, kept the pace with 29 points from Jimmy “Buckets” Butler and the 76er’s had all their starters in double figures. But they no answer for the Quiet Assassin in Kawhi Leonard as he finished with 39 Big Time points and 14 glass grabbing rebounds as the Raptors did just enough to notch the win 101 – 96 as they wrestled home court back to their advantage and even the series 2 – 2.

Jamal puts up the floater
for 2 of his 34 points 

Let’s head out West as the Portland Trailblazers laced them up against the Denver Nuggets as they head back to the court after that thrilling quadruple double OT game in which the Nuggets got the win. But new day and new game as the Blazers didn’t appear to be lethargic, listless or lackadaisical, Alliteration, I Love It, and took a 63 – 57 lead into the half. But hoooooold up wait a minute the Blazers only put 14 in it in the 3^rd and was outscored by the Nuggets by 13, but bounced back in the 4^th. But the game came down to a like a sea saw on the playground as both teams traded free throws as Jamal Murray was nothing but clutch, clutch, clutch and clutch again from the charity stripe as he finished 11 – 11 for the game and had a game high of 34 points and Nikola Jokic netted his fourth triple double of the playoffs with 21 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists as the Nuggets edged the Blazers 116 – 112 to even the series 2 – 2.

For your Non Stat NBA News, in the first nine games of the playoffs, Toronto Raptors Kawhi Leonard became the first player in NBA history to average 30 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists on an effective field goal percentage greater than 65.
