GAME 5 - Horford gets Hawks the win; Warriors take over series
Al Horford snatched an offensive rebound and dropped in a shot from right under the basket with 1.9 seconds remaining to give the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks an 82-81 victory over the Washington Wizards and a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Despite the win, the Hawks were held to 41% shooting and went 5-of-22 from 3-point range. Nevertheless, this is the closest Atlanta has come to advancing to the conference finals since 1988, when the Hawks held a 3-2 lead on Larry Bird & the Celtics before losing the final two games.
Game 6 will be this Friday night at 7 pm in Washington, D.C.
Stephen Curry scored 18 points on six 3-pointers and added a career-playoff high six steals to go with seven rebounds & five assists as the Golden State Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 98-78, to take a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference semifinals.
Klay Thompson scored 21 points and Harrison Barnes had 14 points for the Warriors, who won their second straight game.
Golden State can close out the series with the Grizzlies in Game 6 this Friday night at 9:30 pm ET in Memphis.
