&lt;p&gt;While the Dallas Mavericks still await the winner of the Memphis Grizzlies-Oklahoma City Thunder series to see who they’ll be facing off against in the Western Conference finals after the Grizzlies forced a Game 7 by winning Game 6 95-83 on Friday night we already know that the Eastern Conference finals will pit the #1 seeded Chicago Bulls against the #2 seeded Miami Heat. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-number-integer field-field-do-homepage&quot;&gt;

    <title>Grizzlies @ Thunder Game 5 Preview</title>
    <link>http://www.pointspread.com/news/nba/grizzlies-thunder-game-5-preview.html</link>
    <description>&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-filefield field-field-media-image&quot;&gt;
    &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt;
                    &lt;img  class=&quot;imagefield imagefield-field_media_image&quot; width=&quot;490&quot; height=&quot;368&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pointspread.com/sites/default/files/thundergrizx-large.jpg?1305056541&quot; /&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s going to be hard for any other game in the Memphis Grizzlies-Oklahoma City Thunder’s Western Conference semi-finals match-up to live up to what they did in Game 4. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Thunder and Grizzlies played in a triple overtime thriller Monday night in a back and forth game that had both teams leading by double digits at one point and having those leads erased. The Grizzlies twice tied the game late; once in the 4th quarter and once in the first overtime with late second three pointers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-number-integer field-field-do-homepage&quot;&gt;
    &lt;div class=&quot;field-items&quot;&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;field-item odd&quot;&gt;
                    Both        &lt;/div&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, Phil Jackson’s coaching career ends with two back-to-back NBA championships followed by being swept in the Western Conference semi-finals. Even though Lakers guard Kobe Bryant guaranteed that the Lakers would come back from a 3-0 hole and win the series it didn’t happen. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-number-integer field-field-do-homepage&quot;&gt;

    <title>Blake Griffin Unanimously Wins Rookie of the Year</title>

        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; There wasn’t much doubt about who was going to win the NBA Rookie of the Year contest this season. Not after Blake Griffin came into the league and pretty much ripped it a new one. Performing shattering dunk after shattering dunk on a nightly basis. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now it’s official. Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin won Rookie of the Year in the NBA this season in unanimous fashion. Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings won the award last year. Griffin became the first player to win the award unanimously in 21 years. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;field field-type-number-integer field-field-do-homepage&quot;&gt;
