To put this all in the right perspective, the Celtics won the first game of their series with the Bucks in Overtime, the Pacers made a big upset over the Cavaliers on their own home court in Cleveland, the Thunder played like a true playoff team and took care of the Jazz, and finally, the Rockets and Timberwolves played a thrilling Game 1 which ended with the Rockets coming out on top. With all of that being said, let's move to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Vegas Golden Knights are 3-0 in their series against the Kings and are one win away from winning their first playoff series in franchise history. The Penguins and Flyers continued their Battle in Pennsylvania last night when the Pens overpowered the Flyers in a 5-1 victory, and how about the Blue Jackets taking a 2-0 series lead over the Capitals after beating them in two back-to-back overtime. Finally, the Wild and Jets are been at odds with each other and while the Jets had a 2-0 lead, the Wild were able to prevent being down 0-3 in the series in a big victory last night.

So how did the Indiana Pacers stun the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday afternoon, well today's #TwittrerTrend explains it all. It was all thanks to the Pacers' All-Star guard Victor Oladipo led them to this surprising win over LeBron James and the Cavaliers who had battling many injuries and setbacks. According yo ESPN, James finished the game against the Pacers 0-7 on shots outside of the restricted area, and this was the first game in the 1st round of the playoffs, that he lost, for the first time since 2012, which snapped a 21-game winning streak. Meanwhile for the Pacers, Victor Oladipo put up thirty two points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals over the Cavaliers, and those thirty-two points helped the Pacers put the Cavs away in a 98-80 victory. Some have begun to wonder if the Cavs can even survive in these playoffs, they failed to secure the 3rd spot in the Eastern Conference, they don't have the all-star players that they use to, and the thought of LeBron James leaving Cleveland is hard to ignore for them. Cavs will have to bounce back in a hurry because Game 2 against the Pacers is Wednesday and that gives them much for time to9 rest and figure out a new strategy. A lot of tweeters online were shocked that this game went to the Pacers, and they're reactions are indeed priceless, take a look.

Indiana Pacers @Pacers

Doing what they said we couldn't.

#PacersWin Game 1!

J.E. Skeets @jeskeets

LeBron never loses a first-round playoff game.

Victor has done so many mean things to Cleveland’s defense today it’s starting to get hard to keep them all straight.

Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnorNBA

Victor Oladipo played an unbelievable game. Elite scoring from all levels of the floor, made the right passes in pick-and-roll, and played his typical intense defense. The Pacers are tough.

Vince Nairn @VinceMNairn

The hope when you lose G1 after making a big comeback is “well maybe they figured things out to adjust going forwsrd.” I have no faith in that though because Ty Lue clearly has no idea what works and what doesn’t. #Cavs

Lindsay Gibbs @linzsports ·

There are MAYBE three players on the Pacers that I recognize, but I’ve decided they’re my new favorite NBA team because I love how rude this performance is.

Mo Egger @MoEgger1530

I believe Cleveland will win this series, but the difference in preparation and execution between the Pacers and Cavs today has been striking.

Spencer Davies @SpinDavies

#Pacers didn't steal a game one win at the Q, they earned it.

We are one week away from one of the biggest weekends in recent history with Marvel Studios' all-star film Avengers: Infinity War and the 2018 NFL Draft from the AT&T Stadium happening in the same weekend. We know that the teams that are in the top spots in the first round will push to get a franchise player that will lead them to new beginnings in the future, but there no telling who they will pick and it all depends on the No. 1 Pick in the Draft which is owned by the Cleveland Browns. Some football fans and analysts have put together their mock drafts, and as seen in the past few Drafts, some of the predictions have come true, which could mean that my New York Jets are in the line of a getting a terrific quarterback to lead them into big wins in the future. Ever since get Gang Green made that the blockbuster trade with the Indianapolis Colts which gave the No. 3 Pick in the Draft, I have been looking to forward as to who they will choose, it could be Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, or maybe Josh Allen ot Baker Mayfield. The Jets have to choose wisely because they find the first and perfect step int rebuilding itself into a revelative team again, the same goes to teams such as the Browns, Giants, Broncos, Colts, Buccaneers, Bears, Forty-Niners, Dolphins and Bills. Web Choice is now giving the viewers of #KlicKNet a playlist of many NFL Mock Drafts that analysts have put together and tell you who they believe which rookie is going to which team.
