There’s been former MVP’s winning games with dramatic buzzer-beating jumpers. There’s been injuries to stars. There’s been a coach getting questioned by his own team.
And now this Chicago-Cleveland series is going to get really intense.
Game 5’s have arrived in the second round of the NBA playoffs, with the Bulls visiting the Cavaliers in their knotted-up series to start a Tuesday night doubleheader. The nightcap features the Los Angeles Clippers – a franchise that has never won two playoff series in the same year – looking to change that and advance, as they take a 3-1 lead into Houston.
“This is the ultimate adversity right now,” Houston guard James Harden said. “We’ve got Game 5 back at the house and it’s really win or go home. Our backs are against the ball, and we’ve got to show up.”
He’s right, it’s win-or-else time for the Rockets.
