In the main basketball League in the world continues with the starting round of the playoffs.
“Houston” in the final quarter put the squeeze “OK” and ended the series in five games. From ignominious departure from the playoffs “thunder” didn’t save another spectacular performance by Russell Westbrook (47+11 rebounds+9 assists), because without its star guests looked doomed, losing 6-minute period with the score 6:27. The best the rockets became James harden (34+8 rebounds), and another 36 points added active reservists – Williams and Nene. In the second round, Houston will play the winner of the “San Antonio” – “Memphis”.
Meanwhile, Texas played in the fifth game of the series, “San Antonio”, shipped in the basket, “Memphis,” a record 16 three-pointers, took home the game and were one win away from the semifinals of the conference. Another excellent day Kawai Leonard (28 points) shooting from distance supported point guard Patty mills and Tony Parker (36 points, 7 three-pointers for two).
“Utah” on the road beat “clippers” and opened a path to victory in the series. The most important victory of “jazz” took over the expense of team cohesion – six players scored at least 10 points, and the most productive became Gordon Hayward (27+8 rebounds). The owners did not have enough support reservists – Floor and Redick together scored 54 points, but the trps outright failed the game.

San Antonio – Memphis— 116:103 (23:23, 32:26, 32:27, 29:27), the account in a series 3:2
