Oklahoma City would be in need of a big effort from Kevin Durant or risk falling behind three-games-to-one to the San Antonio Spurs, with a possible close-out game in Texas. And the four-time league scoring champ and former MVP would step-up big time, pouring in a career playoff-high 41 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter as OKC dump the Spurs 111-97 and tie their series at 2 games.
Oklahoma City 111 - San Antonio 97
Cavs sweep Hawks 4-0 to advance to East Final
Elsewhere, LeBron James and Cleveland were on the road in Atlanta, looking to sweep the Hawks.
The ATL though would like to extend the series and grab a four-point edge as Paul Millsap is able to get the reverse.
The hosts extend the lead to double-digits as Al Horford is able to get drop the deuce. I do the same thing every morning.
The Cavs would trim the margin in the second half, but it creeps back up to 6 when Thabo Sefolosha cans the contested jumper.
The LAND would be able to overcome the deficit and go in front when Kyrie Irving makes this ridiculous bucket in the lane -- he had 21.
Kevin Love would have 27 -- three coming from this shot behind the arc -- and he is fouled, and his four-point play puts the visitors in front by 4.
Late stages now, and the hosts trailing, but Denis Schroeder is able to get to the cup, and the Hawks go back in front. He had a team high 21
Other end , and LeBron is able to get the inbounds and score, on the goaltending call -- Cavaliers lead 98-97. Millsap thought he had a clean block.
More from the King, this time the fallaway right in Millsap's grill -- 212 for LBJ, as Cleveland has a 3-point lead with less than 40 seconds to play.
Schroeder is able to slice the margin to 1 as he is able to get to the rim for the lay-in.
But the Atlanta point guard would get tied up on the next possession -- and he would lose the jump ball, and when Paul Millsaps' desperation shot was off the mark, Cleveland win it 100-99 and sweep the Hawks, and advance to the Eastern conference final.
Cleveland 100 - Atlanta 99
