Donovan Mitchell put on a performance for the ages Monday night, tying an NBA playoff record with thirty-nine points in the second half alone as the Cleveland Cavaliers took Game four from the Detroit Pistons, one twelve to one oh three. The series is knotted at two games apiece, and Cleveland is playing with serious momentum heading back to Detroit.
Speaking of momentum swings, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been absolutely suffocating the Los Angeles Lakers in this second-round series, winning the first three games by an average margin of nineteen points. Game four is underway tonight and the Lakers are running out of runway fast. This one could be over before it really gets started.
On a completely different court, the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors wrote a beautiful story at Pauley Pavilion, coming back from a brutal opening set to defeat UC Irvine and claim the NCAA men's volleyball national championship — their third all time. Fifteen twenty-five in that first set looked grim, but Hawaii won three straight to close it out and raise another banner in Honolulu.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
