This weekend had a few NBA Playoff games and a big boxing bout.

NBA: The Bulls and Celtics series ended in a game 7 with the Celtics finally taking control and defeating the “Baby Bulls.” The Bulls had their chance, but some players were on and off throughout the series and the key players were not on when it was needed. Derrick Rose had an average game, but did not step up. The Celtics now head to Orlando for round 2. The Atlanta and Miami series ended in a game 7 and Atlanta won the series in a blowout 91-78 victory. Every game in the series ended up in a lopsided victory for the winner. Now for Atlanta, it is off to play a fierce Cleveland Cavaliers team. The Golden Nuggets of Denver started the second round like Jim Jones……Ballin’. Even though it was a close game, the bench stepped up. J.R. Smith, Nene, and Chris Andersen all played vital roles in the 109-95 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

MLB: Tampa Bay’s Carl Crawford stole 6 bases in yesterday’s 5-3 win versus the Boston Red Sox. Some other scores from yesterday were: Reds 5 – Pirates 0, Blue Jays 4 – Orioles 3, Cubs 6 – Marlins 4, Royals 7 – Twins 5, Dodgers 7 – Padres 3, and Giants 1 – Rockies 0. The Phillies were rained out yesterday for the game versus the Mets.

Boxing: Well he was the favorite and won in the second round of the fight. Manny Pacquiao was set to tie history, being the second boxer in history to hold belts in six different divisions during his career and he did. Pacman was too much for Hatton and even knocked him down three times. Pacquiao won by T.K.O. in the second round to win the junior welterweight title. Next up is rumored to be either Miguel Cotto or a huge fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. The Mayweather option would be a huge money maker and potentially fight of the year if it can happen this year.
