NBA Playoffs: Heat, Grizzlies One Win Away From Advancing To Conference Finals

The NBA Playoffs continued on Monday with two games.

EASTERN CONFERENCE:

At Chicago:

A 27-point performance from LeBron James (along with seven rebounds and eight assists) carried the Miami Heat to an 88-65 game-four road domination of the Chicago Bulls.  The Heat, now leading their conference semifinal series three games to one, can close out the Bulls with a game-five home win on Wednesday back in Miami.

WESTERN CONFERENCE:

At Memphis:

Mike Conley scored 24 points while Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol each added 23 (Zach had 12 rebounds, Marc 11) helped the Memphis Grizzlies overcome an eight-point halftime deficit and defeat the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder 103-97 in overtime to take a three-games-to-one conference semifinal series lead.  The Grizzlies can advance to the first conference final in their eighteen-year,  two-city history (they moved from Vancouver to Memphis in 2001) with a game-five victory in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
