Recap Roundups
April 08, 2017
Brooklyn 107, Chicago 106
Jimmy Butler hit his shots and did his usual thing on offense, but in a game the Chicago Bulls absolutely needed, their defensive inconsistencies appeared at the most inopportune time.
Boston 121, Charlotte 114
The Boston Celtics didn't keep to the script they meant to follow on Saturday night, but the ending was exactly what they wanted.
Indiana 127, Orlando 112
Paul George and the Indiana Pacers are peaking at just the right time.
Milwaukee 90, Philadelphia 82
As he sat in the Wells Fargo Center's visiting locker room late Saturday night, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had one question for teammate Tony Snell, who was standing nearby.
Miami 106, Washington 103
The Miami Heat haven't clinched a playoff berth, but they've kept those hopes alive. Considering they started this season 11-30, that qualifies as miraculous. If the feeling possessing head coach Erik Spoelstra's players following another win over the Washington Wizards stays, good chance more miracles remain.
L.A. Clippers 98, San Antonio 87
When the Los Angeles Clippers are playing the way they did Saturday in their 98-87 victory over San Antonio, it's easy to think they've likely underachieved in the regular season.
Portland 101, Utah 86
Damian Lillard figured early on he was going to have a special performance. Like, before the opening tip Saturday night at Moda Center.
Golden State 123, New Orleans 101
With Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins all on the sidelines watching, Saturday's game between the Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Pelicans had the feeling of an exhibition.
