The NBA play-offs continued, and last night we got the first finalist of the conference, which is the Indiana Pacers team, which won the finals of the East.

In the fifth match, Indiana beat Cleveland 114:105 and won the series 4:1 to the finals.

In last night's game, Indiana was led by Haliburton with 31 points, six rebounds and eight assists, Siakam added 21 points.

At Cleveland, Mitchell was excellent with 35 points and nine rebounds, Mobley added 24 points and 11 rebounds.

In the finals of the East, Indiana is waiting for the better of the duel New York - Boston in which the Knicks lead 3:1 in the series.

Oklahoma reached the match ball in the West by defeating Denver with a score of 112:105, and so they took a 3:2 lead in the semifinal series.

Gligeous-Alexander was brilliant

Gligeous-Alexander led the popular Thunder to victory with 31 points, six rebounds and seven assists.

“Throughout the game, it’s full of swings – you make shots, you miss shots. We just trusted in our principles, and two games in a row now we’ve been able to pull out a W (win),” Gilgeous-Alexander said.

“You’re only as good as your weakest link and all 10 of our guys are ready to go... All we care about is winning the game. We got one tonight and we got one more.”

Denver's interim head coach David Adelman was not satisfied with this result, stressing that his team must return to the game and give their best in order to reach the goal.

“This is a really disappointing loss, and the guys should be disappointed,” Denver’s interim head coach David Adelman said. “We have to bounce back quickly to win Game 6 and give ourselves a chance to come back.”

Nikola Jokić played another great game with 44 points, 15 rebounds and five assists, but that didn't help Denver.
