Sports Notes

  • ABC has NBA playoff action with the Phoenix Suns at the San Antonio Spurs, which has all the makings of one of the better first round match-ups.
  • CBS has LPGA action with third round coverage of the Ginn Open.
  • ESPN has NBA Playoff action with the Washington Wizards at the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is the first game of the day and then later the Dallas Mavericks at the New Orleans Hornets followed by the Utah Jazz at the Houston Rockets. That is a quadrupleheader between these games and the one on ABC.
  • FOX has MLB action with FOX Saturday Baseball.
  • NBC has NHL playoff action.
  • Versus has NHL playoff action.

Late Night

  • MADtv (FOX): New. Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) guest stars and The Moment of Truth gets parodied, which actually sounds redundant.
