Game 4: Thursday, June 14 San Antonio at Cleveland

San Antonio 83, Cleveland 82

Did Bruce Bowen deliberately try to injure Amare Stoudamire ? 

Much has been made of this clip where it appears that Bruce Bowen kicks Stoudamire in the heel as he goes up for a lay up.

I've watched it several times and can't decide but Bowen does have a history of questionable tactics.

Game 3: Cleveland 88, Detroit 82

Game 6: Cleveland 98, Detroit 82

Lugging an entire region's hopes with him on every trip to the basket, LeBron James had 20 points and 14 rebounds, and unflappable rookie Daniel Gibson added 31 points - 19 in the fourth quarter - to give the Cavaliers a 98-82 victory in Game 6 against the Detroit Pistons. Full Game Recap

Western Conference Finals: Utah Jazz VS San Antonio Spurs

NBA Playoffs 2nd Round Eastern Conference Semi-Finals ... Series 2

Game 1 ... Cleveland 81, New Jersey 77

With LeBron James slowed by a nasty head cold, the Cleveland Cavaliers turned up their defense to beat the Nets 81-77 on Sunday in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.

The Cavaliers clogged up passing lanes, pushed bodies around under the basket and generally made life miserable for the playoff-tested Nets, who rarely got off a shot without a hand waving in their faces.
Game 2 ... Cleveland 102, New Jersey 92

Lebron James scored 25 of his 36 points in the second half and the Cavaliers, drawing from tough lessons learned in last year's playoffs, beat the New Jersey Nets 102-92 on Tuesday night to open a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Game 3 New Jersey 96, Cleveland 85

Coming home after two losses, the New Jersey Nets knew they needed to shoot better and rebound more.

Good thing they have Jason Kidd, who can do all that and more.

Kidd had his 11th postseason triple-double, breaking a tie with Larry Bird for second place on the career list, and the Nets beat Cleveland 96-85 Saturday to cut the Cavaliers' lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals to 2-1. Full Game Recap

LeBron James' shot was back, and New Jersey's Big Three was missing. That combination has the Cleveland Cavaliers on the verge of their first Eastern Conference finals in 15 years.

Game 5: New Jersey 83, Cleveland 72

Lebron James, who had a long stint on the bench with foul trouble, scored 23 points, and the Cavaliers advanced to the conference finals for the first time in 15 years by beating the New Jersey Nets 88-72 on Friday night.

Cavs move on to Play the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals.

NBA Playoffs 2nd Round Western Conference Semi-Finals ... Series 1 

Phoenix Suns VS San Antonio Spurs

Game 1 ... San Antonio 111, Phoenix 106

With blood spewing from a cut on his nose, Steve Nash could only watch from the bench while the San Antonio Spurs put away Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.

"There was nothing I could do," he said. "It was obviously frustrating, but it was really out of my hands."

Tim Duncan had 33 points and 16 rebounds -- eight offensive -- and Tony Parker added 32 points to lead the Spurs to a rugged 111-106 victory Sunday over Nash's Phoenix Suns. Full Game Recap

Game 2 ... Phoenix 101, San Antonio 81

Yes, those usually frenetic Phoenix Suns can play defense. They proved it Tuesday night with a blowout of the San Antonio Spurs.

With Kurt Thomas assigned to guard Tim Duncan one-on-one and Shawn Marion shutting down Tony Parker, the Suns squared the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series at a game apiece with a 101-81 victory. Full Game Recap

Game 3 San Antonio 108, Phoenix 101

The physical style of play returned in Game 3, and it seemed to bring out the best in the San Antonio Spurs again.

Manu Ginobili got a bloodied and bruised eye Saturday, and 24 points, as the Spurs took a 108-101 victory for a 2-1 lead in their second-round series with the Phoenix Suns. Full Game Recap

Game 4: Phoenix 104, San Antonio 98

The Phoenix Suns' 12-1 run to end Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals gave them a 104-98 victory Monday night that evened the series with the San Antonio Spurs.

The tension that has been building between the teams throughout nearly boiled over with 18 seconds to play. Full Game Recap

Game 5 San Antonio 88, Phoenix 85

Bruce Bowen, labeled a dirty player by the Suns' Amare Stoudemire and the subject of taunts all night from the Phoenix crowd, sank a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 36 seconds to play.

Game 6: San Antonio 114, Phoenix 106

Manu Ginobili had 33 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who saw a 20-point lead cut to five late in the game. Tony Parker added 30 points for San Antonio, while Tim Duncan had 24 points, 13 rebounds and a career-high nine blocked shots.

NBA Playoffs 2nd Round Western Conference Semi-Finals ... Series 2 

Utah Jazz VS Golden State Warriors

Game 1 Utah 116, Golden State 112

It was only appropriate that the Utah Jazz won on a rebound.

Carlos Boozer turned his 20th rebound into the tiebreaking basket with 17 seconds left, and Utah beat the Golden State Warriors 116-112 on Monday night in the opener of the Western Conference semifinals. Full Game Recap

Game 2 Utah 127, Golden State 117 (OT)

All Derek Fisher needed to do to inspire his teammates was make it to the game.

He did so much more, capping a dramatic night by scoring all five of his points in overtime in Utah's 127-117 victory over Golden State on Wednesday night - a game Fisher nearly missed while returning from New York, where his baby daughter underwent cancer surgery. Full Game Recap

Game 3 Golden State 125, Utah 105

Baron Davis had 32 points and nine assists, Jason Richardson scored 25 points and Golden State stayed unbeaten in Oakland during the postseason with a 125-105 victory over the Jazz in Game 3 of their second-round series Friday night, cutting Utah's lead to 2-1 Full Game Recap

Game 4: Utah 115, Golden State 101

Carlos Boozer and the Jazz shoved and scraped to slow down the Warriors - and then Derek Fisher put a sweet finish on a victory that put Utah on the brink of the Western Conference finals.

Boozer had 34 points and 12 rebounds as the Jazz handed the eighth-seeded Warriors their first home loss of the postseason, 115-101 Sunday night to put Utah up 3-1 in their second-round playoff series.
Full Game Recap

Game 5: Utah 100, Golden State 87

The Jazz clinched their first trip to the Western Conference finals since 1998 by beating Golden State 100-87 Tuesday night, winning the series 4-1 by finally slowing down the galloping pace that had gotten the Warriors this far. Full Game Recap
