NBA Playoffs – Chicago Bulls Can Move Back to Joakim Noah
One of the smartest things the Chicago Bulls managed to do in game 3 as they beat the Washington Wizards for the first time in their playoff series was to move away from having Joakim Noah run their offense from the post.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Shines Bright in Sabotage Aftermath
The beginning of the Ryan Giggs era, as short or long as it may become, was a great one for Manchester United, getting a win, a convincing one, at Old Trafford, which has been an issue for them this season.

Oklahoma City Thunder – An Unlikely Hero
Maybe Reggie Jackson took a step forward, or it might have been Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook stepping back. Whatever it was, it worked, and saved the series for the Oklahoma City Thunder, coming away with the 92-89 overtime win over the Memphis Grizzlies to tie things at 2-2 and head back home feeling confidence again.

Indiana Pacers – Not Feeling Too Good About Themselves
The Indiana Pacers shouldn’t feel too good about themselves. Yes, they found the formula of playing small: Luis Scola on the floor instead of Roy Hibbert, while Paul George and David West had big leadership and clutch moments. However, you couldn’t shake the feeling that the Atlanta Hawks, losing 91-88 as the series is now tied at 2-2, let this one slip away from them.
