So here I am at Auckland Airport doing one of my regular flights to Wellington and just about having time to rattle off the game 3 reports from the conference finals.. Ooh and it's a big day.. The head office of the Texas Chaps has been calling constantly, prayers have been heard from the locker room of the Staples Centre and in the Big Apple the radios have been tuned in since late last night waiting for word.. Only one place has it been quiet, in Kansas they are peaceful knowing what they have done so far.. Or maybe they know what the future holds.. Or maybe not..
The good news today is that no one was injured. I like that as it means we'll have the best players on the best teams do battle for at least one more game!
No Injuries
Two Knicks at the top.. Then two Steers.. Is this a portent of what's coming?

For not the first time in these playoffs the Steers pull ahead against the odds and the Chaps are back against the wall again. Great shooting by the Steers and great defence sees off the defending champs. Message to everyone left, the Steers are tough. Of course so are the Chaps.. This looks like a great series...

Bob Cousy breaks the hearts of the Laker faithful with his all-round game firing on all cylinders. Duncan was steady but LA never led on their home floor.. Can they now do what their previous two opponents did and win 3 straight to force a game 7 in the garden? If any team can its the Lakers, but Cousy continues to be their thorn.
