For the New York Knicks, this Indiana team may prove to be an even more formidable opponent than the days of Reggie Miller.   The Pacers wore the Knicks down in Game 1 of their series Sunday in the Big Apple, but on Tuesday night, Melo and company had their mojo working again and routed the Pacers to tie the series as the teams head to Indy for Games 3 & 4.  Indiana still holds the home court advantage after stealing the opener in NY.

Newly crowned Most Valuable Player LaBron  James and veteran guard Ray Allen put Miami on their backs and led the Heat to a Game 2 rout of Chicago on Wednesday night in South Beach, dismissing any talk of Miami’s early demise.   The Bulls had taken full advantage of Miami’s failure to gain any momentum Game 1 and upset the defending champs, who showed no signs of the 8-day layoff as LBJ had a huge night,   Chicago, with the victory in the series opener, still holds the home-court advantage with Game 3 set for Friday evening in the Windy City.  Should be quite a game.

Meanwhile, The San Antonio Spurs welcomed Golden State to Texas on Monday after their extended layoff from their quick work of the Los Angeles Lakers . The Spurs flat throughout most of the game, then fought their way back in the 4th quarter.  Although the Spurs eventually won in two overtimes, Steph Curry was virtually on fire finishing Game 1 with 44 point for the Warriors in what’s expected to be a high scoring series between these two teams.  Game 2 is tonight in San Antonio, where it’s always tough to get a win.

The Memphis Grizzlies have quickly become a team to reckon with in the playoffs this season as Zach Randolph has ignited the team with his strong, relentless inside play, and after knocking off the highly-touted Los Angeles Clippers, the Griz have now stolen home court advantage from the defending Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder.  Memphis took the Thunder to the wire in Game 1 at OKC, and should have won, but let that opportunity slip away.  The series is now tied at one game apiece and Game 3 looming Saturday in Memphis.
