In a thrilling playoff night, the LA Clippers edged the Denver Nuggets 103-102, tying their series 1-1, fueled by Kawhi Leonard’s outstanding 39-point performance. Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons won 100-94 against the New York Knicks, also leveling their series 1-1, led by Cade Cunningham’s impressive 33 points and clutch plays from Dennis Schroder. Additionally, Damian Lillard may return for the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers after a month-long absence due to calf issues, as the team struggles without his scoring and playmaking support.
