Tonight’s NBA action takes us to some very important game 4’s. The night will begin in Chicago as the scrappy Chicago Bulls will try and tie up the series with the defending NBA Champions Miami Heat. The nightcap will take us to Memphis as the Grizzlies look to take a dominant hold on their series with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Check out our full preview and weigh in on tonight’s action after the jump.
No series has been more intense than that between the Bulls & Heat. Game 3 saw all of that intensity and then some as tensions escalated multiple of times throughout the evening. In the end the Heat were able to prevail behind surprisingly strong games from Norris Cole and Chris Bosh. They picked up the slack that was left by Dwayne Wade, who has not seemed like himself this series or even the entire playoffs. The good news for the Bulls is that they stayed competitive the entire game, but the real question is will they run out of gas going into this must win game? Tune into TNT tonight at 7 EST to catch all the action.
Who had the Thunder being down 2-1 in this series against the Grizzlies and no longer being the favorite? If you did then congrats, but most still thought that even though they were without Russell Westbrook the Thunder were among the favorites to come out of the West. The Grizzlies have been able to limit the rest of the Thunder players while Kevin Durant has ben forced to carry the load, and it simply hasn’t worked out well for OKC. Now they find themselves in a must win situation with the fear of going down 3-1 in the series and being on the brink of elimination. Will Kevin Durant be able to lead OKC tonight and even up the series? Tune in tonight at 9:30 on TNT.
