76ers @ Pistons (3-1)-- Philly had its chance to even it at two games each Sunday, but fell in OT, despite best defensive effort of series, holding Detroit to 43% from floor, when it had shot 50%+ in first three games- they also had 20 turnovers, after averaging 13.3 previously. Will take yeoman effort for Sixers to stay alive, as they lost first two games of series here by 21,15 points.

Pacers (2-2) @ Celtics-- Boston got its two wins by 20 and 21 points, scoring 102,110; their two losses are by 3,23, with C's scoring 79,76 points. Boston is 6-25 from arc in the losses, 17-31 in wins, so good ball rotation to open shooters is their key. Indiana shot a pathetic 26.9% from floor Sunday, but has taken 36+ foul shots in three of the four games.

Kings @ Sonics (3-1)-- Hard to describe how feeble an effort the Kings gave on defense in second half Sunday night, as Allen shredded them for 45 points, prompting a plea from TV announcer Chapman, to at least knock him down once. Seattle won two series games at this site by 5,12 points. King guards look tired; Sacramento hasn't shot better than 42.2% from floor in this series. A 59-34 second half Sunday changed this series.
