Tipped Off

8 May 2022

Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals were a blowout, the Warriors killing the Grizzlies 142-112, shooting over sixty percent from the field--an NBA playoff first. Game 3 in the Eastern Conference, on the other hand, couldn't have been closer. In fact, nobody knew for sure that the Bucks had beaten the Celtics 103-101 until officials reviewed the monitor where it was determined that--by the slimmest of margins--Al Horford's tip-in came too late and so was waved off. The Warriors and Bucks both took a 2-1 lead in their respective best-of-seven series. 

The GridCard gave up a slew of points, including three TallBoys. MW (43) and MMc (43) each missed a single 2-Ball but edged out Nutmeg (41) when the Canes @ Bruins went Over.  MW took home his fourth Hamlin-Hopper of the year while MMc won for the second time. Eleven other players posted Qualifying Scores: Dano (39), amcmayonnaise (39), GB55 (38), Jkloo (35), BabyMac (33), AK (33), Lim Lamb (31), keyz (30), Jeep Lover 2 (29), KMac (29), and Barry (29).

In Team GridCard action, the PGT edged Team Detwiler 145-133 behind MW (43) and MMc (43). TMac beat OG 133-115 thanks to Nutmeg (31), and Team Collins nipped VBar 107-104, Jeep Lover 2 (29) leading the way.
