The Hornets tied the series at 2-2 with the Heat behind a playoff career 34pts from Kemba Walker. Charlotte were up by as many as 18 in the 2nd half, with Miami eventually clawing back to within 1 midway through the 4th quarter. Walker responded by scoring 11 straight points to keep Charlotte in the lead. Jeremy Lin added 21pts, giving the tandem 55 of Charlotte's 89 points.
Westbrook (36pts, 12reb, 9asts) and Durant (33pts) combined for 69pts to win the series 4-1 against the Mavs, winning the last 3 games in a row. In his previous game, Durant snapped his streak of 67 straight games with at least 20pts - in tonight's game he scored 20 in the first half alone.
The Blazers tied the series with the Clippers at 2-2, as Al-Farouq Aminu scored a career high 30pts including 6 3-pters. The Clippers' Chris Paul would score the first 12 pts for the Clippers, but broke his right hand midway through the 3rd quarter and did not return, whilst Blake Griffin also left late in the game after aggravating an earlier injury in his left quad.
After straining his MCL in his right knee, Curry will miss at least the next 2 weeks, putting the Warriors chance of winning back-to-back titles in jeopardy. Golden State have a chance to close out Houston in their next game, and would then await the winner of the Blazers/Clippers series.
