Preview Roundups
April 30, 2014
Dallas at San Antonio 7:00 PM ET
After a gutsy effort on the road in Game 4 of a first-round series with Dallas, the San Antonio Spurs can now take control at home in Game 5 on Wednesday. Five days after they were blown out in Game 2 and two days after losing on a buzzer-beater, the Spurs blew a 20-point lead on Monday before finishing strong for a 93-89 win that tied the series at 2-2. Boris Diaw hit a go-ahead 3-pointer in the last minute and Manu Ginobili had 23 points to help San Antonio regain homecourt advantage.
Brooklyn at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
Coming off one of the best wins in franchise history, the Toronto Raptors look to grab control of their Eastern Conference first-round series when they host the Brooklyn Nets in Game 5 on Wednesday. Toronto had not won a road playoff game since 2001 and was banged up, but it rallied to steal Game 4 in Brooklyn on Sunday by an 87-79 score, tying the series at two games apiece. The Raptors lost a 17-point lead but held the Nets scoreless over the final 4:58 to take back homecourt advantage.
Portland at Houston 9:30 PM ET
The Portland Trail Blazers haven’t advanced out of the first round since 2000 and are one victory away from ending the drought when they visit the Houston Rockets in Wednesday’s Game 5 of the first-round Western Conference series. Portland has experienced six consecutive opening-round exits but holds a 3-1 lead and started off the series impressively by winning the first two games in Houston. Three of the first four games have been decided in overtime.
