NBA Playoffs: Magic Finish Sweep Of Bobcats; Bucks Draw Even With Hawks At 2-2; Suns Scorch Blazers Again To Take 3-2 Lead

Three games populated the Monday schedule in the NBA Playoffs.

EASTERN CONFERENCE:

At Charlotte, North Carolina:


Vince Carter scored 21 points and Jameer Nelson added 18 as the Orlando Magic completed a four-game sweep of the Charlotte Bobcats with a 99-90 road victory in game four.


At Milwaukee:


Brandon Jennings scored 23 points and Carlos Delfino added 22 (with six three-pointers for good measure) as the Milwaukee Bucks leveled their conference quarterfinal series with the Atlanta Hawks as two games apiece with a 111-104 game-four win at home.

WESTERN CONFERENCE:

At Phoenix, Arizona:

Reserves Channing Frye (20 points) and Jared Dudley (19 points) broke out of their series-long shooting slumps as the Phoenix Suns overcame an early 14-points deficit and subsequently overpowered the visiting Portland Trail Blazers 107-88 in game six to take a three-games-to-two lead in their best-of-seven conference quarterfinal series.  The Suns can finish off the Blazers with a win Thursday night in Portland.
