The Cleveland Cavaliers took out the brooms for the second time in these playoffs, causing nothing short of a riot in sports betting forums and betting websites. With two sweeps under his belt, LeBron James and company can now focus on resting their bodies and preparing for whoever comes out of the Boston-Washington series.
Meanwhile, the betting odds at the West heat up as the Spurs and the Rockets continue to trade blows.
Cleveland Cavaliers 109-102 Toronto Raptors
DeMar DeRozan’s 22 points may have come in a little too late after his Toronto Raptors were swept out of the second round by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Toronto’s bench was also stifled by the Cavaliers’ strong defence.
James and Kyrie Irving took charge of scoring for the Cavs, both of them combining for 62 points. Kyle Korver was particularly dangerous from deep after making four of his six attempts.
Boston Celtics 102-121 Washington Wizards
This competitive series is back to square one after the Washington Wizards took control of Game 4 in the third quarter and never looked back. John Wall did wonders for the Wizards’ comeback, making 27 points and 12 assists. His hands were also deep in Boston’s pockets after swiping the ball five times.
Isaiah Thomas was once again kept mum by the Washington defence after making only 19 points. The rest of the starting unit struggled to keep up and had to depend on Kelly Olynyk and Terry Rozier for points.
San Antonio Spurs 104-125 Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets were an unstoppable orchestra after making up for their Game 3 jumble with a 21-point victory. James Harden was the leading man for the Rockets with his 28 points and 12 assists. Key role players Lou Williams and Eric Gordon kept the pressure up for the Rockets when the starting five are on the bench.
Meanwhile, the Spurs were kept mum on the offensive end. Spurs fans are cruelly reminded of Pau Gasol’s age after a meagre 18-minute performance. The loss of Tony Parker definitely put a dent in Gregg Popovich’s game plan. Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge have a lot of adjustments to make when they return to AT&T Center.
