Oklahoma City is rolling, and nobody in the Western Conference looks capable of stopping them. The Thunder dismantled the Lakers in the third quarter of Game Three to take a three-nothing series lead, improving to seven and zero in these playoffs. That is a team playing with complete conviction right now.
Shifting to the ice, Kirill Kaprizov put on a show in Saint Paul Saturday night. The Minnesota Wild star scored and added two assists as the Wild handed the Colorado Avalanche their first loss of the postseason, five to one. Kaprizov's four-on-four goal late in the first period set the tone, and Minnesota never looked back, forcing a goalie change in the process.
And over in Cleveland, James Harden reminded everyone exactly who he is when the lights are brightest. The Cavaliers were in a fight with the Pistons, a team that attempted seventeen more field goals and still lost by seven, and Harden's clutch play was the difference. Cleveland stays alive in the series, and Harden's fingerprints are all over it.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
