2014 NBA Playoffs, Day 24

Day 24 in the NBA Playoffs, where the #1 seed in the west and the #2 seed in the east were ready and waiting to take control and/or win their respective series.

First, Miami vs. Brooklyn.

LeBron had 49, yet it was still a close game.  It took Chris Bosh nailing a corner three, along with some free throws from Ray Allen, to really put this one away.

It was one of the more dramatic games I've seen in the playoffs so far.  It was close throughout in the fourth quarter, which can't be said for most of the games.  Both teams were making shots and playing hard.

But Brooklyn is the one that went through an extended field goal drought and that's what doomed them.  Well, that and Ray Allen getting to the free throw line.

Now Miami has firm control of the series and should finish it up shortly.

Miami leads 3-1.  Game 5 is Wednesday.

Last, San Antonio vs. Portland.

Despite keeping it even until halftime, the Spurs got overrun in the third quarter and that was that.

They had a chance to sweep the series but were not even close to being on top of their game.  Portland took advantage, and now there'll be a Game 5 when really, this series should have been over.

San Antonio leads 3-1.  Game 5 is Wednesday.

Later today, Game 5 in Indiana and Oklahoma City.  With a win, Indiana moves on to the next round.
