Ambide's career high brought Philadelphia closer to the sweep, Portland equalized against Denver, Utah by 1: 2

The Philly star delivered his playoff record with 36 points in a crushing 103: 132 in Washington that set up a 3-0 series, the Blazers beat Denver 95: 115 and tied at 2: 2 despite a lukewarm play by Lillard.

Miami - Milwaukee 120: 103 (The Bucks won 0: 4 in the series)

Revenge complete: After Miami ousted Milwaukee in the playoffs last season, this season the Bucks completed a sweep and a 0-4 victory in the series, with Mike Bodenholzer's team providing a statement in the first round.

After losing the first three games, Miami started well and went up to 13:22, also in the opening of the third quarter leading by 9 points (57:66), but from there it fell apart again. Milwaukee responded with a 6:29 run and climbed to a 74:86 lead, eventually completing a 39:63 victory in the second half en route to victory.

Yannis Antocompo started the game weakly and scored just 2 of 11, but recovered along with all his teammates, finishing with an impressive triple-double: 20 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists - en route to the first triple-double of his career in the playoffs. Brock Lopez stood out with 25 points, Brin Forbes scored 22 (7 of 14 from three), Chris Mildton added 20 and 11 rebounds, in a game in which the Bucks dominated under the baskets with 40:56 on rebounds.

Miami, on the other hand, disappointingly ends a difficult season, which included quite a few injuries and absences, as well as one affair and a public outcry: Jimmy Butler managed to scrape a triple double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, but only 4 of 15 from the field, if Adbaio scored 20, Kendrick Nan 18, Goran Dragic 13. "This is not the bubble," Milwaukee's official account tweeted at the end, to make it clear that this season is a completely different story.

Now the Bucks are waiting for a winner in the series between Brooklyn and Boston, and along the way get an important bonus: a week off.

Portland - Denver 95: 115 (Blazers equalize 2: 2 in the series)

Although Damien Lillard scored just 1 of 10 from the field and finished with just 10 points (a negative playoff record), Portland dismantled Denver tonight to equal the series, which will go to a minimum of six games. Norman Powell scored 29 points and equaled a career-high in the playoffs (11 of 15 from the field, 4 of 4 from three), CJ McCallum scored 21, Joseph Norkich scored 17, Carmelo Anthony added 12 (and heard the crowd sing his birthday Happy), and after leading in the half with a solid advantage of 10 points - Portland wins in the third quarter with a result of 19:39, and at the end the host already led by 33 points, to the last quarter of Garbage Time. Lillard, who did not play in the final quarter, also added 10 assists and 8 rebounds and despite the weak game almost finished with a win and a triple double.

Nikola Jokic was content with 16 points (and the worst plus-minus index in the team, 32 in his minutes on the floor), but was also the outstanding scorer in the Denver ranks, scoring only 34 percent from the field and 29 percent from the three.

After excelling in the previous game, Pekondo Campasso settled for 12 points and 7 assists this time, Arun Gordon scored only 6, Michael Porter Jr. settled for just 3 points.

The series is now returning to Denver, which hopes to recover.

Washington - Philadelphia 132: 103 (The Sixers went up to 0: 3 in the series)

The Wizards' first home game in the playoffs after three years ended in applause for an opposing player: Joel Ambide provided his record game in the post-season with a career-high 36 points (14 of 18 from the field), added 8 rebounds and 3 steals, and swept the Philly for another impressive win, perhaps on the way to a sweep over Westbrook, Bill and friends.

Ambide was unstoppable from the first moment, and Philly led from the start of the game until the end, showing dominance and finishing the first half with a 14-point lead. The Wizards hoped to get back to business in the second half, but the quality of the Sixers' players was just too great. A series of quarter-finals that is all about Garbage Time, in which Russell Westbrook who came up to play while carrying a minor injury takes advantage of the lack of tension to rest a bit.

Aside from Ambide, Tobias Harris was also at his best with 20 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, and the rest of the top five reached double digits - Seth Kerry and Danny Green with 15 each, and Ben Simmons with 14 and 9 assists.

Westbrook, on the other hand, finished as the Wizards' leading scorer and recorded a triple-double with 26 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and Bradley Bill added 25 on a low percentage (10 of 26 from the field, 1 of 8 from three).

Daniel Gaford added 16 from the bench, but that was not enough for Washington, who hope to avoid a sweep in the next game.

Both stood out, but only one finished strong.

Memphis - Utah 121: 111 (Jazz went up to 1: 2 in the series)

The Jazz continue to sweat and work hard in the first round, but continue to show character as well, with a makeover in the series and an impressive ending to the game.

Ja Morant and Dylon Brooks continued to have problems defending the Jazz, coming back from a double-digit deficit and drawing with three minutes left, but Utah finished the game with a 2:14 run, and climbed to a 1-2 lead with an important away win.

Donovan Mitchell went on to recover and finished as the Jazz's leading scorer with 29, Mick Conley added 27 and eight assists, and Bojan Bogdanovic, Rudy Guber (4 blocks) and Jordan Clarkson added 15 each in a typical Utah game in which she sniped 19 threes at 44 percent.

Morant, on the other hand, finished with 28 and 7 assists and Dillon Brooks contributed 27, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, but this time it was not enough.
