EASTERN CONFERENCE:

Despite 32 points (and ten assists) from Deron Williams and 26 (and eleven rebounds) from Brook Lopez, the Nets face elimination as the Bulls, who lead their conference quarterfinal series three games to one, can close it out with a victory in Brooklyn on Monday night.

Al Horford scored 26 points and grabbed 16 rebounds as the Atlanta Hawks cut the Indiana Pacers' advantage in their opening round series to two games to one after their 90-69 home win in game three.
WESTERN CONFERENCE:
At Memphis:
Marc Gasol (with 13 rebounds) and Zach Randolph (with nine rebounds) each scored 24 points as the Memphis Grizzlies squared their opening-round series with the Los Angeles Clippers at two games apiece following their convincing 104-83 home win in game four.
At Houston:
In his first game without injured All-Star teammate Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant scored 41 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the Oklahoma City Thunder blew a 26-point lead but managed to hold off the Houston Rockets 104-101 on the road in game three of their conference quarterfinal series. The Thunder, who lead this series three games to one, can finish off the Rockets with a win in Houston on Monday night.
