Conference Semifinals Get Heated as 4-Seeds Bounce Back to Even Series

No sweeps in the conference semis! The NBA Playoffs saw each of the four remaining series get even tighter over the weekend as the 4-seeds reeled off back-to-back home wins. Luka Doncic — with a pair of 26-point games — pulled the Mavericks back even with the Suns. The Sixers did the same to the Heat by winning two over the weekend thanks to a revival from James Harden (31 points) in Game 4. Giannis Antetokounmpo (42 points) posted the weekend’s top performance in the Bucks’ Game 3 win. The biggest story? Ja Morant’s re-injured knee means the Grizzlies are staring down the barrel. The playoffs continue tonight.
