FIRST ROUND: THUNDER - GRIZZLIES GAME 2

Final: Thunder 105, Grizzlies 111

The Memphis Grizzlies fought back with an impressive 111-105 overtime win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Zach Randolphscored 25 points and the series is now even at one game apiece.  Kevin Durant scored 36 points and hit an incredible three-point shot late in the game, but it wasn’t enough to secure the victory.

FIRST ROUND: CLIPPERS - WARRIORS GAME 2

Final: Clippers 138, Warriors 98

It wasn’t exciting. It wasn’t close. But it was very entertaining if you were a Clippers fan.

In a total reversal of Game 1, the Clippers dominated the Golden State Warriors from the opening tip Monday night at Staples Center to take a 138-98 victory and tie the best-of-seven NBA playoff series at 1-1.

Games 3 and 4 will be in Oakland on Thursday and Sunday.

JOAKIM NOAH WINS DPOTY AWARD

Noah, who anchored the league’s second-best defense in terms of defensive efficiency, has been the heart and soul of the Bulls this season after the team lost Derrick Rose to injury and traded Luol Deng to the Cavaliers.

The Bulls allowed only 97.8 points per 100 possessions, which is an insanely good number, and it’s largely due to the fact that Noah was the backbone of it. Noah ranked No. 1 in Defensive Rating at 95.8 (estimated points allowed when he’s on the floor) and Defensive Win Shares (an estimation of how many wins his defense contributed to) with 6.6.

Noah’s defensive impact has always been in his energy and versatility. He can successfully defend any center in the league, while still being able to step out on a switch and check smaller guards. And the fact he plays so hard brings it all together.

Noah, 29, averaged 12.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 steals this season for Chicago.
