Boston also _4_ its series against the New York Knicks to 3:2.

Tom Goldman, NPR News.
年轻的火箭队试图连续三场击败西部冠军俄克拉何马城的球队。雷霆队的控球后卫拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克因受伤无法上场。而休斯敦的主教练凯文·麦克海尔使用了精明的战术，致命的三分球和对俄克拉何马的当家球星凯文·杜兰特的严密防守，使得火箭队将总比分扳成3比2。波士顿也将与纽约尼克斯队的比分缩小至3比2。尼克斯队是个优秀的球队，但是由于后卫J.R.史密斯不理智的行为，当家球星卡梅隆·安东尼持球单打过多，尼克斯队有些迷失了方向，老练的凯尔特人队发誓要战斗到最后，虽然季后赛首轮看似可能在一个星期前就结束了，但其实并不是这样。NPR新闻，汤姆·高曼报道。
