The Boston Celtics are controlling matters on both ends of the floor against the Indiana Pacers and can become the first NBA team to advance to the second round of the playoffs when the teams play Game 4 of their best-of-seven series Sunday in Indianapolis. The fourth-seeded Celtics have held the Pacers to an average of 87 points while racing to a 3-0 series lead, gaining a stranglehold on fifth-seeded Indiana with a 104-96 road win Friday night.

The Golden State Warriors suffered an embarrassing defeat in Game 2 of their Western Conference playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers by blowing a big lead, so they just went out and built a bigger lead in Game 3. The Warriors will try to blow past the eighth-seeded Clippers once again and take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven set when they visit Los Angeles for Game 4 on Sunday.

The Toronto Raptors survived to win a game with an ill Kawhi Leonard and now hope to see the All-Star forward back at full strength. Second-seeded Toronto looks to increase its series lead to 3-1 over the Orlando Magic in Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round matchup.

The Oklahoma City Thunder didn't panic after dropping the first two games on the road and got back into the series with a win at home in Game 3. The Thunder will try to protect homecourt once again and even the Western Conference playoff series at two wins apiece when they host the third-seeded Portland Trail Blazers in Game 4 on Sunday.
