We’re at the point in the NBA playoffs where it’s about to be down to the conference finals. The Eastern Conference Finals matchup has yet to be decided as the Celtics and Wizards have a Game 7 to play on Monday while the Cavaliers wait patiently.

At least one blessing fell onto Spurs fans’ laps on Saturday: Pop told reporters Kawhi Leonard will be playing Game 1, after being out with an ankle injury he suffered during Game 5 against the Rockets.
