Four contests are on the Saturday NBA Playoff slate.
EASTERN CONFERENCE:
At Brooklyn, New York:
Brook Lopez scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds while Thaddeus Young added 18 and 11 in those respective categories as the Brooklyn Nets knocked off the visiting Atlanta Hawks 91-83 to cut the Hawks' conference-quarterfinal series lead to two games to one. DeMarre Carroll scored a playoff-career-high 22 points to pace Atlanta.
At Milwaukee:
Jerryd Bayless made a layup at the buzzer to lift the Milwaukee Bucks to a season-extending 92-90 game-four home victory over the Chicago Bulls. O.J. Mayo paced Milwaukee with 18 points as the Bucks avoided elimination despite 33 points from the Bulls' Jimmy Butler. Chicago, who still leads the conference quarterfinal series three games to one, can still finish off the Bucks with a game-five win back home on Monday.
WESTERN CONFERENCE:
At New Orleans:
Stephen Curry delivered six three-pointers (on eight such shots) during a 39-point, nine-assist, eight-rebound night while Klay Thompson scored 25 points of his own as the Golden State Warriors completed a four-game conference-quarterfinal series sweep of the New Orleans Pelicans 109-98 on the road. Draymond Green added 22 points and 10 rebounds to the Warriors' coffers while Anthony Davis scored 36 points (and grabbed 11 rebounds) and Eric Gordon added 29 for the Pelicans.
Golden State will next take on the Portland-Memphis winner in a Western Conference semifinal series.
At Portland, Oregon:
Marc Gasol scored 25 points while Courney Lee added 20 as the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 115-109 on the road in game three of their conference quarterfinal series. The Grizzlies will go for a four-game sweep of the series on Monday night in Portland. Niclolas Batum paced the Blazers with 27 points, while C.J. McCallom added 26, Damien Lillard 22, and LaMarcus Aldridge 21.
