Big takeaway: When KD cooks, this is Oklahoma City premium - In Game 3,
Russell Westbrook took 31 shots and the Thunder fell in a close game. Game 4, he only shot 18 but had 14 assists with his 15 points. Kevin Durant added 41 points and dominated this basketball game. This should be the recipe for success almost every time on the court.
Next up: Tuesday night in San Antonio
Warriors-Blazers (2-1 Dubs)
Big takeaway: Dame found his game - Even though Portland is still in the playoffs, this hasn't been peak Damian Lillard. We saw him at different moments of the year be a damn near superstar yet he really didn't have the best playoff outing. Lillard had a huge game on Saturday with 40 points and eleven assists in primetime. Dame kept attacking and attacking with made bucket after another. If he can do that again tonight, look out.
Next up: Tonight in the Moda.
Hawks-Cavs (Cleveland wins 4-0)
Big takeaway: Cleveland is the best team in basketball - No question about it. Cleveland looks awesome right now. It seems like LeBron James is on his personal FU tour and going to shatter any team's dreams who aren't his own. Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and J.R. Smith are all playing at an absurdly high level.
Heat-Raptors (2-1 Toronto)
Big takeaway: Big men go down - Both Miami and Toronto had their big men - Hassan Whiteside and Jonas Valanciunas go down with injuries that will likely keep them out for the remainder of the series. Since both team suffered an injury at the same spot, it's hard to know who will benefit more. Personally, it could be Toronto as Bismack Biyombo showed flashes last season.
Next Game: Tonight in South Beach.
