This weekend was the start of the NBA Playoffs.

NBA: Saturday was the start of the playoffs. Derrick Rose scored 36 points and the Bulls stunned the Celtics in game 1 by the score of 105-103 in overtime. Lebron and the Cavs crushed the Pistons by the score of 102-84. Yao Ming played a perfect game and scored 24 points as the Rockets demolished the Trailblazers 108-81. Josh Howard led the Mavericks past the Spurs 105-87. Sunday was the second batch of games. The Lakers proved how solid they are as they defeated the Utah Jazz 113-100. The 76ers stunned Orlando in a 100-98 victory with a jumper made by Iggy with 2.2 seconds left in the game. The Atlanta Hawks shocked most people in the score that they beat the Heat by, 90-64…yeah that is crazy! Finally, Denver knocked off the Hornets 113-84. It was a great start to the playoffs.

MLB: The Phillies started the season slow but they got a big win on Sunday as outfielder Raul Ibanez hit a game winning 2 run homerun in the bottom of the ninth inning to lead the Phillies over the Padres 5-4. The Yankees were smoked on Saturday by the score of 22-4. The Marlins came from behind to defeat the Nationals 7-4 and now have an 11-1 record for the season.

NFL: Next weekend is the NFL Draft and a big surprise is the talks about Seattle possibly drafting USC quarterback Mark Sanchez. We’ll just have to wait and see if it will actually happen.

NHL: The Flyers bounced back from an 0-2 start in the series to defeat the Penguins 6-3 on Sunday and make the series 2-1 Pittsburgh. ESPN analysts are saying that the Flyers are right back in the series and have shifted the momentum. Time will only tell and the perfect game to prove this is game 4 in Philly on Tuesday.
