The Timberwolves eliminate the Nuggets in 6 — Jaden McDaniels drops 32 and Jamal Murray shoots 23% in a brutal exit for Jokić and Denver. Minnesota moves on to face the Spurs.

The Knicks close out Atlanta in HISTORIC fashion — 140-89, a 51-point blowout to end the series. OG Anunoby with 29, Mikal Bridges with 24, and KAT with a triple-double.

Philly forces a Game 7 against Boston — Tyrese Maxey drops 30 at home as the 7-seed Sixers win two straight to tie the series. Game 7 TBD in Philly.

Three more series on the line Friday night: the 8-seed Magic try to close out the 1-seed Pistons in Orlando, the Cavs look to advance in Toronto, and the Rockets host the Lakers with all the momentum in a must-win Game 6.

OKC and San Antonio are sitting back, rested, and waiting. Wembanyama gets either Jokić or Anthony Edwards next — either way, the West Semis are going to be must-watch TV.
