The winner of the Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Lakers series will play Minnesota.

The New York Knicks are one victory away from advancing to the Eastern Conference playoffs, and Jalen Brunson has cemented his place in the record books.

In a 97-92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, Brunson scored a playoff career-high 47 points, the most points ever scored by a Knicks player in a post-season game.

After defeating the Mavericks 116-111 in Dallas, the Los Angeles Clippers leveled their first-round series at 2-2.

Midway through the second quarter, the fourth-seeded Clippers led by 31 points and appeared to be coasting to an easy victory. However, the Mavericks stormed back to set up an exciting last few minutes.

With five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, George and Harden combined for 33 points apiece to lead the Clippers to their final 18 points.

Luka Doncic recorded his fourth career play-off triple-double with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Irving scored 40 points on 14 of 25 shots.
