I have this habit of associating days with the same events last year.
During the first Sunday of the playoffs, the last game on TNT usually has been a good/surprising game. Let's see if this continues.
2014: ? (Portland-Houston)
2013 (terrible):
Rockets 91
Thunder 120
2012 (good):
Memphis had a 27 point lead in the 3rd quarter, and lost.
Los Angeles Clippers
99
Memphis
98
2011 (good):
Nuggets 103
Thunder 107
2010 (good):
Trail Blazers 105
Suns 100
2009 (terrible):
Hornets 84
Nuggets 113
2008 (terrible):
Hawks 81
Celtics 104
2007: (good/surprising, was rooting for Dallas though)
Warriors 97
Mavericks 85
2006 (not remarkable):
Grizzlies 93
Mavericks 103
2005: (good):
Nuggets 93
Spurs 87
2004: I think it was Hornets-Heat. This was a good game, except for stupid Dwayne Wade hitting the GW over Baron Davis.
Hornets 79
Heat 81
2003:
I don't know. There were only 3 games scheduled on this day (5 on Saturday):
Magic-Pistons, 12:30 PM ET, April 20, 2003
Lakers-Timberwolves, 2:30 PM ET, April 20, 2003
Hornets-Philly, Coverage: CSN, 8:00 PM ET, April 20, 2003
I can't imagine TNT airing Hornets-Philly, given the choices. And ESPN says CSN aired it anyways. And I don't remember watching the game, only reading about it. Iverson scored 55, hit 10/11 FTs, 8 assists, 2 steals
Lakers-Timberwolves started too early. But maybe TNT still aired it, as an afternoon game.
There might not have been a Sunday Night game in 2003.
I'm a little unsure about 2004 too, but went with the aforementioned Hornets-Heat.
So 2005, might have been the earliest.
