Excitement goes on in the NBA playoffs semifinals
In the NBA playoffs,
A big win for Washington Wizards on Tuesday. They beat the Poland Pacers 102-79, and pulled the total score to 2-3.
With a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Indiana Pacers looked to close out the Washington Wizards at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana on Tuesday night.
Gortat had 31 points and 16 rebounds in the contest, but failed to lead the team to another win.
But the Clippers still hold the edge in the series, as the Head Coach of the Indiana Pacers explained.
"Clearly we didn't match their desperation and their physicality throughout the game. And obviously it was costly. Gortat and John Wall played sensational basketball games. And give them all the credit. We're still up 3-2. It's one loss, whether you lose by 20-something, you lose by one, it's one loss. We got to go back and respond for game six."
Game 6 of the series is on Thursday in Washington.
Meanwhile, a crazy finish was enjoyed by Thunder fans in the Western Conference Semifinals series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers.
With 17 seconds remaining, the Clippers were holding a 104-102 lead and the ball, with an inside track to taking a 3-2 advantage in this very competitive series.
But then a very controversial call from the referee changed all that and in the end the Clippers lost to Thunder 105-104. They also lost their edge in the series.
