NBA Conference Finals, All Elite Wrestling, NHL Playoffs and More to Watch

There's a good chance that the final two teams in both the NBA and NHL playoffs will be determined this week. We're already halfway there on the ice with the Boston Bruins, and the Golden State Warriors are a win away from sweeping the Portland Trail Blazers. On the diamond, Wednesday brings a duel between the National League's last two Cy Young winners.

Must Watch: NBA Conference Finals

Despite the lopsided series standing, the Western Conference Finals have produced some phenomenal basketball and thrilling games in the last few days. The Warriors used two strong comebacks in Games 2 and 3 to take a commanding 3-0 lead over the Trail Blazers, with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green all stepping up to have standout games in the injury absence of Kevin Durant.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, we have had great games and a close series, as the Toronto Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks in double overtime Sunday night to cut their series deficit to 2-1. Kawhi Leonard had an excellent game in a must-win moment for his team, scoring 36 points, grabbing nine rebounds and tallying five assists while playing a game-high 52 minutes. And he still had enough in the tank for this huge dunk:

Quick Catch-Up

1. Brooks Back-to-Back

The PGA Championship belonged once again to Brooks Koepka, who won the major for the second year in a row, this time leading and winning wire-to-wire. Koepka comfortably was in control from the first tee on Thursday, but things got real tight when the wind picked up at Bethpage Black on Sunday during his back nine. Gusts up to 30 miles per hour had his shots flying all over the place, which led to four straight bogeys while Dustin Johnson was knocking in birdies. Koepka's seven-shot lead was down to one, but he steadied himself and his game, never losing the lead and ultimately winning by two strokes.

2. Queens of Europe, Again

Lyon earned another European crown on Saturday, when the French club won its fourth UEFA Women's Champions League title in a row and sixth overall, defeating Barcelona 4-1. The star of the match was Lyon striker Ada Hegerberg. The Ballon d'Or winner scored a hat trick in the first half to secure the trophy.

3. King of Clay

Rafael Nadal defeated top-ranked Novak Djokovic 6-0, 4-6, 6-1 to win the Italian Open for a record ninth time. After losing in the semifinals of his previous three clay-court tournaments, the win gives Nadal even more confidence on his favorite surface heading into his favorite Grand Slam tournament. The French Open, on the clay of Roland Garros in Paris, begins on Sunday. Nadal will be seeking his 12th championship there, which would extend his own record.
