I don't think it was a must win for Cavs! Cavs are going to clinch the top spot in the East anyways. It was a must win for Bulls if they want to keep their hopes of going to the playoffs, which they won't for sure even with today's win.
 
Tonight's game at Spurs is a must win for the GSW to tie up 72 and set new horizon for 73


 
Ever heard of the disease Stephitis? It is catching!
​
The disease of Stephitis has spread far beyond the Ivy League. It's so immensely tough to average four made 3-pointers a game over a full season that, just 11 years ago, not one high school boy in the whole country managed to do it, according to Max Preps. This season, 30 players did it.

On Twitter, in March, I asked if people had noticed players outside the NBA "doing Steph Curry things." The replies were immediate and unanimous. Wrote Dan Shanoff: "I coach 4th-graders and all they want to do is shoot extra-long shots (and, when they make them, tap their heart and point up)." Eric Johnson supervises recess at Ashland Elementary in rural New Hampshire. After Curry's big game winner over the Thunder, recess became all about making that shot. "What surprised me was that they never stopped shooting the shot ... for 40 minutes. They each had to hit it. They talked about the game the whole time."

Stephitis cannot be quarantined. LeBron James may have had his exhausted heart broken by Curry's Warriors in last year's NBA Finals, but LeBron's 8-year-old son, Bryce, still wears No. 30 in honor of Steph.

It's not all that unusual that, with tons of time on the shot clock, Ole Miss guard Stefan Moody recently used a fancy dribble combination into a step-back to score against Mississippi State in the second half. What's a little strange is that he did so at least 8 feet beyond the 3-point line.

Stephitis exists in the NBA, too, of course. If it seems as if the entire Association is suddenly shooting from super-long range, it's because everyone is. According to Basketball-Reference data, Steph is averaging more than one made shot from at least 27 feet per game; no other player can touch that. But wow are they trying.

In 2009-10, NBA players attempted a grand total of 1,880 shots from 27 feet or longer (excluding end-of-quarter heaves). This season, they're on track for 3,067.

Good luck NBA fans.
