An uninspiring rundown of last night's sporting news:

Boston showed the Hawks who was the favorite by beating them by 25. The game really was over about a minute into the game with KG's roof blowing dunk. I could tell right from the start that there was no way he would let them lose that game. The series now heads to Atlanta where Boston has yet to win.

In a much more exciting game (and a series I neglected to mention yesterday), Washing staved off elimination. Facing a win or go home game IN Cleveland, and down 5 with less than 2 minutes to go, Washington still won, as LeBron missed a lay up with under 3 seconds to play. Exciting right down to the end. It should be noted that Washington also did this with Arenas sitting out, as he is done for the year.

Moving sports, the Stars couldn't close the door on the sweep against the Sharks. And the Flyers moved up a game on the Candians. Both series are now 3 games to 1.

There are some other things that happened. The Yankees DL is now better than their actual team as Phil Hughes joins Jorge and A-Rod. Maybe this explains why Hughes has blown this year? The Mavs fired Avery Johnson, and there are conflicting reports on whether the Suns have/are firing Mike D'Antoni. The BCS rejected the "Plus 1" plan.

And this is a few days late, but it should be known that yes, I am incredibly pumped that Ben Hansbrough is transferring to Our Lady's University. Sure he isn't as talented as his brother, but is can be the 6'4" 3-point shooter/slasher the Irish really needed to replace Colin Falls and Kurz. And we know he can rise to the occasion, as he scored 19 against Memphis in the NCAA tournament. Welcome to the Irish Ben! You got any more brothers?
