<p>It was a crazy (controversial?) night, but in the end, it was the Celtics who came out on top in game four of the Eastern conference finals of the NBA playoffs.</p>
<p>LeBron James flopped Kevin Garnett into his third foul of the game just as Rajon Rondo was driving uncontested to the rim for a possible game winning layup with less than 25 seconds to play.</p>
<p>The King&#8217;s acting had no effect on the outcome of the first four quarters of play, though, because Udonis Haslem bricked a 15 foot jumper at the buzzer on the very next possession.</p>
<p>Then, in the opening minute of overtime, Paul Peirce bumped into Shane Battier, who, of course, went flying. Peirce fouled out.</p>
<p>But Karma would catch up to the King and his court.</p>
<p>Just a few minutes later, the game still hanging in the balance, James tried to post up Michael Pietrus, who, of course, fell down. James fell with him, and the officials called him for the charge.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t the right call, but it felt right after the way regulation ended.</p>
<p>Rondo was special again, putting in a solid night&#8217;s work with 15 points, 15 assists and five rebounds. Pierce scored 23 and added six rebounds before his departure, and every Boston starter scored in double figures.</p>
<p>A report on ESPN says Chris Bosh could be back for game five in Miami if there are no set backs with his rehab.</p>
<p>The Oklahoma City Thunder tied up their Western conference finals series with the San Antonio Spurs in game four 109-103.</p>
<p>Durant had a near triple-double (36 points, eight assists and six rebounds) and Serge Ibaka went 11 of 11 from the floor on his way to a 26 point, five rebound, three block performance.</p>
<p>The game was an all-out slug fest, though.</p>
<p>Both teams shot at least 50 percent from the floor, the Spurs hit 11 threes, and neither team was too loose with the ball.</p>
<p>The game was won on the boards (OKC out-rebounded the Spurs by 10) and because of how the Thunder got their points; San Antonio had 17 assists compared to Oklahoma City&#8217;s 27. The Thunder got more easy looks out of the flow of their offense, and the Spurs had to rely on their players getting creative in order to score.</p>
<p>That series will switch back to San Antonio for game five tonight at 9 p.m. on TNT.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/179/files/2012/04/Bobcats.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-992" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/179/files/2012/04/Bobcats-220x300.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The Boston Celtics have been know the past couple of years because of their &#8220;Big Three.&#8221; But the Celtic team that took the court tonight in Charlotte, lacked that trio. Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce were given the night off to rest. That didn&#8217;t seem to spark the Bobcats (7-52), as they fell 94-82.</p>
<p>There seemed to be more electricity in the gym the night prior, for the Jordan Brand Classic game, an All-Star game featuring some of the best high school basketball players. The kids put on more of a show then the hometown Bobcats did.</p>
<p>Trailing by 11 after one, however, Charlotte made a run. They outscored Boston 26-18, and pulled within three, 52-49 going into halftime. But as the teams started the second half, Boston surged in the second half, thanks to the play of point guard Rajon Rondo. Even when the Big Three plays, Rondo is an all-star caliber player that can lead any team in the stat column. Tonight, he recored a double-double (20 points, 16 assists), and was the team leader in the absence of their trio.</p>
<p>The loss was the Bobcats&#8217; 16th straight, tying a dubious franchise record set earlier this season. If they lose the final seven games this season, they will finish with the worst single-season winning percentage in NBA history.</p>
<p>Gerald Henderson paced Charlotte with 22 points.</p>
<p>The Bobcats made it tight in the fourth quarter, edging the deficit to four, but Avery Bradley knocked down a three-pointer from the corner. That would be the closest the Bobats would get, as they never seemed to find a rhythm offensively.</p>
