Thunder Look For The Sweep, Two Must-Win Hockey Games and Blazers - Mavs Game 5

Over on Versus, we have some elimination-game hockey going on. On Saturday, facing elimination, the Lightning demolished the Penguins, 8-2. Now they have a chance to earn a game 7 in Pittsburgh with another win tonight. Otherwise its the end of the road for a team that uses the abbreviation “TBL.”

On TNT tonight, the Spurs are fighting for their lives, but they’re probably done. After that, the Thunder look to complete the sweep on the road against the Nuggets. An Oklahoma City sweep would result in one heck of a moot point for the Denver and New York franchises who swapped a dozen or so players a couple months ago. If you’re into a game that could actually mean something, Versus has the Kings trying to come back from a 3-1 series deficit to force game 7 on the road.
