Yesterday was a great day for Colorado basketball. CSU beat Fresno State in the Mountain West tournament! CU beat Oregon State in the Pac 12 Tournament, and the Nuggets spoiled Carmelo's return to Denver last night with their 10th win in a row.

We've often wondered -- what does it take to get a sweet bro hug from LeBron James? Well, we've got our answer: Sinking an impossible half court hook shot in the middle of a Miami Heat game.

Cowboys who are competing at the National Western Stock show this week took part in a Cowboy dunking contest during a Nuggets game last Friday night. We have a few pictures from that night.

L, L, W, L, W, W, L. That sums up the NBA first round playoff series between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers, which ended up with the Nuggets being eliminated last night in Game 7 at the Staples Center by the Lakers, 96-87. Los Angeles advances to face Oklahoma City in the second round on Monday.

The Denver Nuggets, in a must-win situation, topped the Los Angeles Lakers 102-99 in Game 5 of the NBA first round playoff series last night in the Staples Center.

'Home Sweet Home' was the secret sauce for the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, winning 99-84, but remain down 2 games to 1 in the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers. A Nuggets win tonight would assure a Game 6 back in Denver on Thursday night. Game 5 is Tuesday night in LA, with Game 4 tonight at 7:30 in the Pepsi Center (TV: Altitude/TNT).
