Sunday was a truly rare day in NBA history.
Overall, James is 40-7 in the first round and only had one first round series extended to six games.
LeBron James has made the NBA Finals five years straight. Will it be six? More competition in the East could make it hard.
The Warriors dominated the NBA regular season, with the Spurs close behind. Can Curry and company take the West again?
The Detroit Pistons have made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2009 and now, you can be apart of all the postseason action.

The Eastern Conference seems far less interesting than the West, but still some intriguing match-ups in play.
The NBA regular season has come to an end and now we've got the marathon of playoff basketball to take us to Mid-June. The Western Conference was stacked as usual during the regular season and provides multiple options for teams that could end up representing in the Finals.
Three weeks left in the regular season, and the NBA playoff picture is starting to shape up. With that in mind let's look at the potential first round match-ups and rank them from least interesting to most.
Last night, like every NBA night, morphed into a sweaty, LeBron James symposium. And the firewall between factions is rather defined. He's either a chump who cheated his team out of a win, or he's a victim of fate or faulty wiring, a hardwood martyr who can't get a break.

The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls are getting ready for Friday's pivotal game 3.

With the game, series, or season on the line, would you rather have Carmelo Anthony or Kevin Durant on your squad?
The Boston Celtics will play at the TD Garden for the first time Friday night since the events of the Boston Marathon.
The Celtics need a pick-me-up after losing the opening two games of their first-round playoff series against the Knicks. The city of Boston could use one, too, after a traumatic two weeks of bombings and manhunts and grieving.
The Denver Nuggets secured the third seed in the Western Conference playoffs by routing the Phoenix Suns 118-98 on Wednesday night behind 21 points from Wilson Chandler and 20 from Andre Iguodala.
DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points, Rudy Gay added 22 and the Toronto Raptors ran all over playoff-bound Atlanta, routing the Hawks 113-96 Tuesday night.
Sometimes, it's just a superstars' time to finally win a championship. It happened a few years ago in Miami when Peyton Manning won his first Super Bowl title. It happened again as the final buzzer sounded in Game 5 of the NBA Finals and LeBron James was a champion of the world.
