NBA Playoffs: Clippers Square Series With Thunder At 2-2; Pacers Overcome Wizards On Road, Take 3-1 Series Lead

The NBA Playoffs continued on Sunday with two games.

WESTERN CONFERENCE:

At Los Angeles:

Blake Griffin scored 25 points while Chris Paul added 23 (to go with his 10 assists) as the Los Angeles Clippers leveled their conference semifinal series with the Oklahoma City Thunder at two games apiece following their 101-99 home victory in game four.  Darren Collison scored eight of his 18 points in the final 2:58 of the contest as the Clippers came from behind.  Kevin Durant scored 40 points and Russell Westbrook added 27 for the Thunder.  However, the latter's three-point attempt at the buzzer failed and Serge Ibaka's tip-in attempt came too late.



EASTERN CONFERENCE:

At Washington:

Paul George scored a playoff career-high 39 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Indiana Pacers came back from a 19-point third-period deficit and overcame the Washington Wizards 95-92 on the road in game four of their conference semifinal series.  Bradley Beal scored 20 points to pace the Wizards.  The Pacers, who now lead the series three games to one, can wrap up the series and a berth in the conference final (in which they would get home-court advantage) with a home win in game five on Tuesday back home at Indianapolis.
