Weekend Recap
NHL Playoff Recap
In the west, the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers go blow-for-blow but Dallas holds a 2-1 lead in the series after a 5-3 win in Edmonton last night led by Jason Robertson, who completed his first career playoff hat trick. In the east, the NY Rangers win two straight games in overtime over the Florida Panthers to lead the series 2-1. They’re back in South Florida tonight for Game 4.
NBA Playoff Recap
The Boston Celtics are Eastern Conference champs and are heading to the NBA Finals after a 105-102 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 4. The Pacers had a shot to avoid the sweep but Jaylen Brown was clutch in the last minutes to secure Boston’s spot in the finals. They’ll face the winner out of the west, where the Dallas Mavericks are hoping to complete a sweep of their own tonight in Dallas against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
