Vegas erased a 3-0 deficit to beat Colorado 5-3 in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, continuing a stunning collapse by the Avalanche after a dynamite start and a 3-0 lead. The piece highlights three takeaways: Colorado opened strong and led 3-0, Vegas surged in the second with a key turnover and momentum swing, and Colorado’s collapse—coupled with Nathan MacKinnon getting hobbled—sealed the Knights’ timely comeback.
Colorado jumped to a 3-0 lead behind goals from Landeskog, Kadri and Drury, but Vegas stormed back with goals from Stone, Karlsson, Kolesar and Hertl to tie 3-3, then Howden iced a 5-3 win with an empty-net goal in the third. The victory gives Vegas a 2-1 edge in the Western Conference Final, and Colorado heads to Game 4 on the road on Tuesday.
The New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 121-108 in Game 3, dominating the game from start to finish and wearing down the Cavaliers, signaling the Knicks’ current form could be a threat to anyone in the playoffs.
The Cavaliers unveiled five fan guidelines for Game 3 against the Knicks, including wearing the team shirts, keeping the crowd in uniform, and using vocal pressure—chanting 'Let's Go Cavs' and shouting 'Defense' on defense—to distract the visitors and boost energy from tip-off to the final buzzer. With about 41.7% of tickets coming from New York/New Jersey and the Knicks holding a 2-0 series lead, Cleveland aims to protect home court and build momentum in their 6-1 home playoff record.
Victor Wembanyama shouldered blame after the Spurs’ 123-108 Game 3 defeat to the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, saying he must be more of a playmaker and facilitate better. He finished with 26 points on 8-for-15 shooting but just four rebounds and zero assists after halftime, as OKC outscored San Antonio by 30 in the second half following a 15-0 Spurs start. San Antonio, with De’Aaron Fox back in the lineup, now trails 2-1 and will aim to even the series in Game 4 on Sunday in San Antonio.
The Los Angeles Lakers trail 0-3 after a blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3, leaving their playoff hopes on life support as the Thunder’s depth and momentum overwhelm an aging Lakers squad; with teams down 0-3 historically facing near-impossible comebacks, Los Angeles must salvage something in Game 4 to avoid an abrupt elimination.
OG Anunoby’s hamstring issue is described as very minor and day-to-day, but if he can’t go in Game 3, the Knicks face several lineup adjustments. Miles McBride is the most likely starter replacement, potentially shadowing Tyrese Maxey while Bridges handles other wings. A second option is a double-big look with Mitchell Robinson alongside Karl-Anthony Towns, which would shift defensive matchups and rotations. Bench changes would bring Landry Shamet back into action, with possible minutes for Ariel Hukporti or Jeremy Sochan if bigger lineups are used. In short, Anunoby’s absence would create multiple moving parts on both ends of the floor.
The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a dire position in the Western Conference semifinals, trailing Oklahoma City 2-0 after another tough defeat as the Thunder's balanced, relentless attack has dominated the series. OKC has shown poise on the road and a sharp team effort that has silenced LA, who must regroup and pull off a convincing win in Game 3 at home to avoid a swift exit.
