Pacers crush Knicks behind historic hot shooting (espn.com)

I'm not a Pacers fan, but my midwestern roots require that I love the team's historic Game 7 win over the Knicks today, in MSG.

The Cavs exited the playoffs after an admirable run at Boston, so I'm happy to turn my fandom to the Pacers for the rest of this season's playoffs. I'm pulling for the Timberwolves in their Game 7 tonight, too.

I'm not a huge NBA fan, but I have been watching the playoffs with some heightened interest this year. I'm not sure why. The Finals should be fun to watch—something nice about seeing the Celtics back in it. I'm rooting for them.

Caught the end of the Ohio State v. Purdue Big Ten tournament basketball game today. Buckeyes completely tanked in the second half. Fortunately, Purdue tanked in overtime. Onto Michigan tomorrow.
