Game 4 in Cleveland

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The lone playoff game in the NBA tonight is taking place in Cleveland, as the Cavaliers entertain the Boston Celtics. After dropping the first two games of the series in Boston, the Cavs blitzed the Celtics in Game Three 108-84. The loss means the Celtics, who had the best road record in the NBA during the regular season, have still not won a road playoff game this post season.

Following this evening's game, the series will shift back to Boston for Game Five on Wednesday night. Should a sixth game be called for, it will be played in Cleveland on Friday.

One game on tap

DALLAS (AP) -- There's one Stanley Cup playoff game on the schedule tonight with Detroit skating at Dallas. This is the third game of the best-of-seven Western Conference final between the Red Wings and Stars. Detroit won the opening two games over the Motor City by the scores of 4-1 and 2-1. Game Four will take place in Dallas on Wednesday night.

Making up for rain delays...Double-headers in Pittsburgh, Cleveland..

UNDATED (AP) -- The first game of the day in baseball will take place in Pittsburgh, as the Pirates and Atlanta Braves jump-start a doubleheader, thanks to yesterday's rain. The opening game pitching has four-game winner Jair Jurrjens going for the Braves against Zach Duke. In the second contest, Tim Hudson toes the rubber for the Braves against John Van Benschoten.

Coming up tonight in the N.L, Washington plays in New York against the Mets, Cincinnati is home to Florida, San Diego plays the Cubs in Chicago, Milwaukee entertains St. Louis and Houston is at San Francisco.

A check of the American League schedule today shows a doubleheader in Cleveland between the Indians and Blue Jays. The double-dip wasn't scheduled but came after yesterday's game was rained out. The game one pitching is slated to be the same as was announced for yesterday's game, Fausto Carmona for the Indians against A.J. Burnett. In the second game, the Indians are using red-hot Cliff Lee. He's won all six of his decisions this season and has a sterling 0.86 earned run average, the best in all of baseball. On the mound for the Blue Jays in game two will be Shaun Marcum.

The rest of the American League slate will take place this evening with Boston playing at Minnesota, Tampa Bay playing host to New York, Seattle at Texas and Chicago in Anaheim against the Angels.
