Updates on the Western Conference:
The NBA playoffs have begun and the top 8 teams from the east and west begin their journey toward the NBA championship. The reigning NBA champions, Los Angeles Lakers(1), face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder(8), the youngest playoff team in the NBA. the series has been tight throughout and it has come down to a Game 6 on April 30, 2010 where Lakers pull a difficult victory with the help of Pau Gasol scoring the game winning shot leaving 0.5 seconds. Lakers have now advanced to the 2nd round.
Next is the series between the Texas rivals, San Antonio Spurs(7) and Dallas Mavericks(2). The spurs pull off an unikely victory against the mavs and they finish off that series in 6 games due to a terrific effort by Manu Ginobli and Tim Duncan.
The Phoenix Suns(3) defeat the Portland Trail Blazers(6) 6 games also helped by a terrific performance by Jason Richardson in the winning games and Steve Nash with his awesome point guard skills. Even though Brandon Roy returned 8 days after knee surgery, the Blazers came up short.
the last series in the west is between the Denver Nuggets(4) who made it to the western conference finals last season and the Utah Jazz(5). The Jazz lead the series 3-2 coming into tonight's game trying to finish off Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets. And they proved their point by taking the win and win the series making them proceed to the next round!!
