2016 NBA Playoff Round 1 - Game Day 11

The Raptors overcame a 4th quarter 13pt deficit with a 23-2 run to win by 3pts, taking a 3-2 series lead over the Pacers. The Pacers were led by George with 39pts, 8reb, 8asts, and led for the first 3 quarters by as many as 17 points, but would only be able to manage 9pts in the 4th qtr. Down by 4, Pacer's Solomon Hill hit a 3-pter with 15.3sec left to bring the Pacers within 1. Derozan was then fouled and was able to make both free throws. Down by 3 with 2.7sec left, Indiana had a chance to send the game into overtime, but Solomon Hill's made 3-pter at the buzzer was ruled too late after an official review.

The Hawks won game 5 against the Celtics by 27pts to take a 3-2 series lead. After making only 6 of their first 34 shots, the Hawks trailed 29-19 in the 2nd qtr, but finished off the half with a 28-8 run in the last 6min, and followed it up by scoring 42pts in the 3rd qtr. Paul Millsap was held to 10pts and Isiah Thomas 7pts, who left the game with a mild ankle sprain after landing awkwardly after a layup.

Blake Griffin will miss the rest of the playoffs after aggravating a regular season injury. Chris Paul will be out at least 4-6 weeks after having surgery to repair a right hand fracture. Game 5 of the series returns to Los Angeles with the score tied at 2-2, as LA will try to win the game at home without their 2 best players.
