Highlighting a great weekend of opening games from the 2011 NBA Playoffs, Shane Battier of the Grizzlies and Ray Allen of the Celtics hit clutch three-pointers to lead their teams to hard-earned victories. (below)
In other Game 1 action, Chris Paul absolutely took over, getting 33 points, 14 assists, and 4 steals, as the Hornets stunned the Lakers at Staples Center 109-100. OKC and Dallas both won close Game 1's in the other Western Conference matchups.
In the East, Chicago's Derrick Rose saved the Bulls from a embarrassing, flat loss to Indiana, the Hawks shot lights out and withstood Dwight Howard's 46-point outburst, and Miami survived a scare from the 76ers.
Game 2's start tonight, with 76ers-Heat @ 7 PM ET and Pacers-Bulls @ 9:30 PM ET on TNT.
