Kevin Durant scores 36 and grabs 10 rebounds as the Thunder win Game 6 in Memphis. Maybe The Oklahoman was just looking to motivate KD, like when Spicoli trashed Jefferson's car before the big game in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Yeah, that must be it.
2. Magnificent Sevens
Saturday will, for the first time in NBA history, feature a trio of Game 7s in one day (and in three different time zones): Atlanta at Indiana, Memphis at Oklahoma City and Golden State at Los Angeles. Not to be outdone, the NFL threatens to make its draft a 17-day event in June.
