NBA Update

While the Golden State Warriors rolled past the Houston Rockets at home, to wrap up their series in 5 games, two NBA teams won on the road, to take (3-2) series leads last night.

First the Charlotte Hornets, seeking their first playoff series win since 1997, won at Miami in game 5, vs the Heat.

Later last night the Portland Trail Blazers, actually 3 point favorites on the road vs the dismantled Los Angeles Clippers, won easily.

L.A. is without star players Chris Paul and Blake Griffin which is unfortunate. That likely will manifest in the fact that for all 46 seasons in franchise history, which includes when they were the Buffalo Braves and San Diego Clippers, the team will have failed to reach the NBA semi-finals.
