Thursday night’s slate of NBA playoff games brought both good and bad results for former Kentucky Wildcats playing in the two series. First up were the Miami Heat, a team that appeared in the NBA Finals two seasons ago and currently rosters three former Wildcats: former NBA All-Star Bam Adebayo, NBA Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro and Mychal Mulder.
They took care of business closing out the Philadelphia 76ers, 99-90, for a 4-2 series victory and advancement back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second time in three seasons.
Second up were the Phoenix Suns who were also looking to close out their opponent and move on to the Western Conference Finals.
