NBA tipoff: Round 2 continues Saturday with Cavaliers-Pistons and Thunder-Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers felt like they weren’t getting a fair whistle in their Game 2 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. It might take a lot more than friendly officiating to make this series a fair fight. The Western Conference semifinals series moves to Los Angeles for Saturday’s Game 3 and the Lakers hope a change of scenery can help them get back into the matchup against the defending NBA champion Thunder. Over in the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers are in a similar situation. They’re in a 2-0 hole against the Detroit Pistons but now get to play in front of their home crowd.
