"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Home Cooking&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Getty Images&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Home teams ruled the first three of five NBA Game 7s\u00A0on Saturday, as\u00A0the No. 1 seed Pacers rolled the Hawks 92-80, the Thunder disposed of the half-strength Grizzlies 120-109, and the Clippers staved off the sweet shooting Warriors, 126-121. The Pacers game was a bit light on drama but not entertainment, thanks to this dude in a fedora standing behind &lt;strong&gt;Larry Bird&lt;/strong&gt;\u00A0(he works out). Also, the Hawks official Twitter account offered a\u00A0heartbreaking response to Atlanta's defeat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Russell Westbrook &lt;/strong&gt;(an absurd 27 points, 10 rebounds, 16 assists)\u00A0led the Thunder along with\u00A0&lt;strong&gt;Kevin \"Mr. Unreliable\" Durant\u00A0&lt;/strong&gt;(33 points, 8 rebounds)&lt;b&gt;, &lt;/b&gt;who's expected to receive the MVP award\u00A0this week. The Warriors proved a terrifying and tough out thanks to its 56 percent three-point shooting (25 attempts), but plays like &lt;strong&gt;DeAndre Jordan&lt;/strong&gt;'s block-turned-&lt;strong&gt;Blake Griffin&lt;/strong&gt; oop proved the difference. Speaking of Griffin, he's apparently also\u00A0a\u00A0gymnast. Nobody was more jacked up about the Clippers win than head coach &lt;strong&gt;Doc Rivers&lt;/strong&gt;, who exchanged some high fives with fans sitting courtside.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In\u00A0case you missed Blazer\u00A0&lt;b&gt;Damian Lillard&lt;/b&gt;\u2019s insane series-ending buzzer beater\u00A0Friday night, you can relive that here. The performance earned Lillard temporary ownership of the Rockets, according to Wikipedia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chrome Spoiler&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kentucky Derby winner\u00A0&lt;strong&gt;California Chrome&lt;/strong&gt;\u00A0was the favorite yesterday\u00A0but the colt spoiled my ticket (and probably\u00A0thousands of others).\u00A0Fortunately, the Derby produced some good theater on Twitter, where users offered their best &lt;em&gt;Seinfeld&lt;/em&gt;\u00A0Derby Names.\u00A0(And by a length, these pretzels are making me thirsty!!!) If you happened to miss the always fashionable\u00A0announcer&lt;strong&gt; Johnny Weir&lt;/strong&gt;, you're going to want to check out his Derby hat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Call it a Comeback&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bruins-Canadians series is off to an incredible start. Down 1-0 in the series and by a 3-1 margin\u00A0midway through the third period of Game 2, the Bruins came roaring back with four unanswered goals for\u00A0a 5-3 win. Check out this fantastic photo by the &lt;em&gt;Boston Globe&lt;/em&gt; after\u00A0&lt;strong&gt;Reilly Smith&lt;/strong&gt; scored the go-ahead goal and then had a moment with a fan whose head might have exploded. Meanwhile, in the Rangers-Penguins series, the Blueshirts managed to score\u00A0&lt;em&gt;twice\u00A0&lt;/em&gt;in overtime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheerleader of the Week&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get to know\u00A0&lt;strong&gt;Christine&lt;/strong&gt;, a\u00A0Scranton, PA native\u00A0who's a cheerleader for the New Orleans Saints (the Saintsations).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My celebrity crush&lt;/strong&gt;: \"Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, because he\u2019s the People\u2019s Champ!\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My friends would be surprised to know that&lt;/strong&gt;: \"I just learned how to crochet this year and I\u2019ve made everything from dishtowels, to scarves, and even baby booties.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I had to watch one movie or TV Show over and over and over again&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;em&gt; The Office&lt;/em&gt;.

Before\u00A0successfully defending his title against &lt;strong&gt;Marcos\u00A0Maidana,\u00A0&lt;/strong&gt;he walked into the ring with Weezy, Bieber and &lt;em&gt;an actual circus&lt;/em&gt;\u00A0(or at least several circus performers).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Force Was Not With Darth Vader&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a terrible, cricket-like first pitch by Vader at the Cincinnati Reds' Star Wars weekend. I've got no idea what it's like to toss a ball\u00A0in that kind of armor but you'd figure the Sith Lord would at least practice?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You're Gonna Need a Diaper With That Tough Mudder Medal&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The CDC has warned that animal feces in muddy waters along Tough Mudder courses has caused many participants to have brutal bouts with\u00A0diarrhea.
