Weekend Sports Preview: May 26Playoff action in each of the NBA, NHL, and AFL takes center stage this weekend as those leagues get closer to crowning a champion. Also on tap over the next few days are full slates of MLB, a smattering of WNBA, and both NASCAR and Formula 1 races. Game 2 of the NBA's Western Conference Finals goes Friday night, with the Phoenix Suns looking for a second straight road victory over the Dallas Mavericks. In the series opener on Wednesday the Suns came back from nine points down late in the game to win 121-118. Boris Diaw had 34 points for Phoenix in the win, while Steve Nash picked up 27 points and 16 assists. Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 and grabbed 19 boards in the loss. The Suns/Mavericks series shifts to Phoenix for Game 3 on Sunday night, with Game 4 also being played in the desert on Tuesday night. Over in the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat will play Game 3 of their best-of-seven set on Saturday night down in South Florida, with Game 4 going down in Miami as well on Monday night. On the ice, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres will be played on Friday night in Western New York. The Sabres pulled out a 4-3 victory in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in the series. Should Buffalo win on Friday night, they'll be able to finish off the set down in Raleigh in Game 5 on Sunday. Meanwhile, Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals goes on Saturday night in Anaheim. The Mighty Ducks staved off elimination on Thursday by defeating the Edmonton Oilers 6-3. However, the Ducks still trail the best-of-seven series 3-1, and can't afford a single loss the rest of the set. Game 6, if required, goes Monday. The Detroit Tigers will try to continue their winning ways this weekend at the expense of the division-rival Cleveland Indians. The Tigers are the surprising leaders of the AL Central, while the Tribe are trying to shake off a poor start to the year. Elsewhere in the AL over the next few days it's Kansas City at New York, Tampa Bay at Boston, Chicago at Toronto, Oakland at Texas, Seattle at Minnesota, and Baltimore at Los Angeles. In National League action this weekend, the teams of the west will continue to jockey for position in their tightly-packed division. Series involving NL West teams include Los Angeles at Washington, Arizona at Cincinnati, St. Louis at San Diego, and Colorado at San Francisco. Other National League matchups coming up to end the week are Atlanta at Chicago, Milwaukee at Philadelphia, Houston at Pittsburgh, and New York at Florida. The Arena Football League stages the divisional round of its postseason this weekend, with two games on tap for both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. On Saturday it's Georgia at Dallas (-6) and Arizona at San Jose (-4), while Sunday features Chicago at Colorado (-3) and Philadelphia at Orlando (-3). The conference championships are scheduled for next weekend, with ArenaBowl XX in Las Vegas set for Sunday, June 11. It's a light weekend in the WNBA, with only one game going on Friday and two more taking place on Saturday. Friday's matchup sees Indiana traveling to Chicago to take on the Sky, while Saturday features Detroit at Connecticut and Minnesota at Washington. In Nextel Cup Series action, Jimmie Johnson and his fellow drivers will be competing for points on Sunday in the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Johnson is coming off a win in the All-Star Challenge at Lowe's, has won each of the past four points races (and five of the past six) on the track, and is currently sitting atop the driver standings. Finally, overseas, the drivers of Formula 1 will continue their 2006 season on Sunday with the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. Fernando Alonso is coming off a victory in the Spanish Grand Prix, and leads Michael Schumacher by 15 points in the drivers championship. Renault also leads Ferrari by 19 points for the constructors season title
