Suns 119 Lakers 110 (Phx 4-1): This score is deceiving. Every time LA came back to cut the Phoenix Suns lead, Phoenix would just dominate them with threes and jumpers. Phoenix now faces the San Antonio Spurs in the next round, with Phoenix having the home-court advantage.

Spurs 93 Nuggets 78: Michael Finley was on fire last night. Finley knocked down 8 three point shots, a team playoff record, to rally the Spurs after trailing by 4 at halftime. The Nuggets were a mess, missing point blank shots, Allen Iverson shooting 6-22, everything fell apart for Denver.
