Two 50-points performances, a 40-point performance and a 40-point triple-double in an overtime comeback all took in the NBA this weekend along with upset in Texas. But when you talk madness, college ball comes to mind, 11 tickets punched to the Big Dance. 3 from the men's side and 8 from the women's including a massive upset in conference championship. For one university history was made in both sports.
The Playmaker recaps it all from a fabulous weekend of basketball.

This past weekend in basketball provided some good things some bad things, and some awful things. All-Star Weekend had some changes to several events that were good, but the slam dunk wasn't one of those unfortunately. The All-Star game itself provided an interesting game as it had doing for a few years now. The Akon boys stole the show especially the younger of the two.
In the collegiate level, the season is down to two weeks and upsets took their place in in the Big Ten and SEC respectively. Then there was Madison, Wisconsin where the focus of the basketball is fixated on due to an end of game melee starting with coaches.

Game 1 of the NBA Finals went to the home team, Phoenix Suns. Chris Paul was great, Devin Booker was good, and Deandre Ayton dominated inside. Giannis played great in return from injury, but the others failed to step up despite Khris Middleton scoring 29 points which came mostly in the 2nd half. Adjustments is a must for Mike Budenholzer and the Milwaukee Bucks going into Game 2 tonight.

The Western Conference could be on the verge of ending tonight. The Phoenix Suns are one win away from the NBA Finals. Despite, the play of the Suns, it's the Clippers fault for the Suns to be where they are up 3-1 with Game 5 in Phoenix. Paul George struggles in the big moments has Chris Paul on the verge on a deserving trip.
The Eastern Conference Finals are showing the struggles of the Atlanta Hawks after dropping to straight games including Game 3 in Atlanta last night. Milwaukee could say this series should be 3-0, but they let the Hawks steal Game 1. A blowout in Game 2 to even the series and an early 15-point comeback last night has momentum with the Bucks. Trae Young needs help, but no one is joining the party.

Memorial Weekend has passed and a lot of action took place in the NBA Playoffs. One series ended in a clean sweep, all the others going to at least Game 5. Injuries became the theme over the weekend as some series turn a major turn especially with Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic. With that being said, the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers have control of home court again. Utah looks like the top team with Spida Mitchell after dropping Game 1. The Nets and Hawks are in command of their series while the Wizards survived for an extra game.

The NBA Playoffs are underway. Road teams went 4-4 in Game 1's so a lot of homecourt advantages snatched from the favorites. The Big 3 in Brooklyn struggled in the 1st half in Game 1, but took over the 2nd half. Trae Young made his impact known in Game 1 at Madison Square Garden. Portland blitz Denver in Game 1, but the Nuggets responded last night. Milwaukee dominated Miami in Game 2, but the series now goes to South Beach. The defending champs find themselves in a familiar in position after Game 1, but how will they response in Game 2? Subscribe and follow the podcast on your favorite streaming platforms.

Only 5 days remain and a handful of games left in the NBA season. As the race for the playoffs and play-in tournament gets tighter, the margin of errors gets even smaller. Boston is in a bad position as they sit in the 7th spot in the East and lost a key player for the rest of the season. The defending champs sit in the 7th in West and that could be what the doctor order for the Lakers as they could get LeBron back as soon as tonight. Should the West be concerned if the Lakers are in the Play-In Tournament?
Key games to watch for today-Thursday. Congrats to Russell Westbrook on a huge accomplishment.
