www.sportsecyclopedia.com Down and Almost Out The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the brink of elimination after suffering a 108-97 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Quicken Loans Arena on Friday Night. After winning Game 3, the Cavs entered the game needing a win to even the series and make things interesting with Game 5 scheduled to be back in Oakland on Monday. Despite a cold start from LeBron James, the Cavaliers appeared to be in good shape at halftime holding a 55-50 lead at halftime. However, in the second half the Warriors tighten up their defense and made life hell for the Cavs. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry found his range beyond the arch making seven three pointers on the way to a game high 38 points, with five rebounds and six assists. The Cavs meanwhile went six minutes in the fourth quarter without making a field goal as the Warriors pulled away. No team has even come back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals which the Cavs now face.

www.sportsecyclopedia.com Stayin' Alive Win the Pittsburgh Penguins just 60 minutes from winning the Stanley Cup, the San Jose Sharks came out desperate in Game 5 at the CONSOL Energy Center. With goals by Brent Burns and Logan Couture the Sharks had a 2-0 just 2:53 into the game. The Penguins would answer back just as quickly as Evgeni Malkin and Carl Hagelin scored 22 seconds apart to tie the game just over two minutes later. After four goals in the first five minutes the game settled down, with the Sharks retaking the lead on a goal by Melker Karlsson late in the first period. The Penguins continued to attack looking for the equalizer, but Martin Jones who looked shaky with the two early goals stood strong the rest of the way making 44 saves to keep the Sharks in front. Joe Pavelski would seal the win with an empty net goal. With a 4-2 win the Sharks get another home game in Game 6 on Sunday, but still trail the Penguins in the Stanley Cup Final 3-2.

www.sportsecyclopedia.com Old Time Hockey Dirty hits, injuries and bruised ego were the theme in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals as the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning. Ryan Callahan created a controversial moment early in the game when he received a five-minute major for boarding on Kris Letang. Though needing to be helped off the ice Letang returned, as the Penguins were upset that Callahan was not ejected. The Penguins were unable to score during the power play as Ben Bishop made several big saves, but soon Bishop himself was carried off the ice with an apparent leg injury. Andrei Vasilevskiy came on in relief and kept Tampa in the game as their offense rallied scoring the first goal of the game with Alex Killorn beating Matt Murray late in the first. Tampa would add goals from Ondrej Palat and Jonathan Drouin as the Penguins did not score until late in the second when Patric Hornqvist scored but that would be it as Tampa won the opener 3-1
