Result: Houston level series with Golden State

The evenly-matched series – which has seen defending NBA champions the Warriors record 448 points so far and the Rockets 447 – continues in California on Wednesday.

In the Eastern Conference semi-final, the Milwaukee Bucks have opened up a 3-1 lead over the Boston Celtics after a 113-101 victory at the TD Garden.

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo continued his impressive run of form with game-highs in both points (39) and rebounds (16).

For Boston, Kyrie Irving (20 points and 10 assists), Marcus Morris (18 points and 14 rebounds) and Jayson Tatum (17 points and 10 rebounds) all recorded double-doubles but it was not enough to save the Celtics.
