In one of the more boring NBA playoff series of 2009 the Cleveland Cavaliers swept the first round of their Eastern Conference contest with the Detroit Pistons last night in the Motor City. After blowing out the Pistons 99 to 78 King James (36 points, 13 boards and eight assists) will have some rest before facing the winner of the Miami/Atlanta series.

The best game of the weekend (and probably the best series so far) was between the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics. Rookie of The Year Derrick Rose and sharp shooter Ben Gordon helped tie their series with the defending champs with a double-overtime victory (121-118) in The Windy City on Sunday. Rajon Rondo was a beast for the Celtics racking up another triple-double (25 pts, 11 rebounds & 11 assists). He’s the first Celtic to have two triple doubles in a playoff series since Larry Bird in 1986. The Bulls go back to Beantown on Tuesday for game five.
