Whas Happened In Sports Last Night:

• NBA Playoffs 2008: What did Denver expect when Kobe Bryant is allowed to score 49 points? The series heads to Denver 2-0, but it’s all over folks. Denver 107, Los Angeles 122. [Orlando Sentinel]
• Champions League: So there was a penalty awarded to Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo, the saving grace of the Reds, stood up to define his greatness. Then this happened. And the game was a slug fest after that. Manchester United 0, FC Barcelona 0. [Bloomberg]
• NBA Playoffs: Anyone else out there sniffing out a Boston/Los Angeles final? Boston dominated Atlanta once again in a series the Celtics could probably win Kevin Garnet, Paul Pierce and three carnies. Boston 96, Atlanta 77. [ESPN]
• MLB 2008: Trevor Hoffman ruined Greg Maddox’s 350th win by blowing a save in the ninth. This means that destiny is saving that win for the Dodgers. Trust us. Everything monumental in baseball, when it comes to records, happens against the Dodgers. Giants 3, Padres 2. [TSN]
