NBA Play-offs: Miami eliminates Milwaukee, hits Memphis

New York wins Game 5 and eliminates Cleveland

Strong emotions in the NBA playoffs. Miami masterpiece. Thanks to 42 points from Butler, the Heat win Game 5 at home to Milwaukee (No. 1 seed in the East) and close the series at 4-1. Miami is the sixth team from eighth on the playoff grid to eliminate No. 1.

Down 1-3 in the series and one step away from elimination, the Grizzlies surprise the LA Lakers in Game 5 (116-99). Bane (33 points) and Morant (31) were decisive. Bad James: 15 points with a horrid 5/17 from the field. Celebrate New York, which, winning game 5 (106-95), files the Cleveland practice with a dry 4-1 and flies to the next round. Finally, with 31 points from the usual Curry, Golden State wins on the Kings’ court (123-116) and moves to lead 3-2 in the series.
