The Warriors swept the first three rounds of the playoffs as they head back to the NBA Finals for the third straight season.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the San Antonio Spurs 129-115 on Monday night, becoming the first team to ever enter the NBA Finals with a 12-0 playoff record. This will be the third straight Finals appearance for the Warriors, though we don’t yet know for sure who they will face.

Game 2 was never close and the series heads back to Cleveland the Cavs in control.

Somehow, Friday night’s Game 2 against the Boston Celtics was even easier for the Cleveland Cavaliers than their Game 1 win.

In a 130-86 win, the Cavs lead from their first field goal of the game — a Kyrie Irving floater 57 seconds into the game. In the first, Cleveland outscored Boston 32-18. In the second, with LeBron James back his normal place with the bench to start the period, the Cavs outscored the Celtics 40-13 to take a 72-31 lead at the half. James lead the Cavs with 22 first half points, Kevin Love added 18 points and Irving chipped in 14 points.

Avery Bradley hit an incredible game winning three as the Celtics are back in the series.

CLEVELAND – Marcus Smart wanted one last game in the Garden. Avery Bradley wanted one last chance at home.

As the ball bounced over the rim, with the clock ticking down to zero, Avery Bradley begged it to fall. The Basketball Gods relented, gifting Boston its first win in the series.

SAN FRANCISCO—Despite forward Kawhi Leonard being uncertain with a sprained left ankle and two disheartening NBA playoff losses at Golden State, the San Antonio Spurs vowed Thursday to fight back aggressively.

“You’ve got to be the aggressor. You’ve got to be sharp for 48 minutes and you’ve got to take it to them,” Spurs centre Pau Gasol said. “You’ve got to be the most physical team, the team that wants it the most and play with that edge and that feeling the entire game.”

The Spurs' backs are against the wall. They trail their Western Conference Finals series against the Golden State Warriors, 3-0, with Game 4 set for Monday, and Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich they're "likely" going to be without Kawhi Leonard (sprained left ankle) again.

"It wouldn't make much sense," Popovich said of playing Leonard in Game 4. "If he's unable to play yesterday, I don't think there's going to be a miraculous healing by tomorrow."

Russell Westbrook edged out Stephen Curry for first-team honors after a record-breaking season. Meanwhile, Paul George missed out.

The NBA announced its All-NBA first team on Thursday, and it features the players you’d expect to stand atop the league’s totem pole.

Facing a depleted Spurs roster, JaVale McGee and Kevin Durant were the stars of tonight’s big win. Yes, you read that correctly.

The Golden State Warriors took a 3-0 series lead over the San Antonio Spurs in Saturday night’s 120-108 road win. San Antonio, as Jeff Van Gundy pointed out in tonight’s broadcast, used to be a “house of horrors” for the Warriors, but this season seems to be changing that trend.

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) is said to be the biggest star boxing according to his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions, but there’s some debate going on that IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua might be more popular at this point. Floyd Mayweather Jr. WAS the biggest star in boxing until he retired in 2015.

Mayweather’s departure from the sport left a huge vacuum that Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya claims has been filled by Canelo. Manny Pacquiao is still fighting and his recent PPV numbers have been close to those of Canelo’s. Pacquiao vs. Tim Bradley III brought in 400,000 buys on HBO PPV last year in April 2016. However, Pacquiao’s last fight against Jessie Vargas brought in just 300,000 buys on Top Rank PPV.
