The 2013 NBA Playoffs continued to roll and all of these series took some interesting twists after their final results. Check out scores and how each series has shaped up after Saturday's games that saw the Chicago Bulls, Memphis Grizzlies and win their Game 4's.
The Bulls were the first to get their victory where they battled back from multiple double-digit deficits against the Brooklyn Nets. Led by a miraculous run by Nate Robinson, who scored 34 points in the game and dropped 12 straight all by himself, the Bulls won Game 4 142-134 in a triple overtime finish.
The Nets are now in a 1-3 hole after winning Game 1 in blowout fashion. It is surprising to see a healthy Brooklyn team losing to a banged up Bulls team. Deron Williams scored 32 points, but he became a ghost when it mattered most. Joe Johnson did his best to keep the Nets in the game and even push it to a third overtime as he hit a late jumper to tie the game.
Over in Memphis, the Grizzlies are getting a huge lift from their home crowd. They defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 104-83 in a game that lacked any drama as the Grizzlies were dominant and tied the series 2-2. Marc Gasol seemed to knock down shots nonstop in this game as he finished with 24 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. He tied Zach Randolph for the game high in this one.
The Clippers once again struggled in this game. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul were tied for the team-high 19 points. Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups scored no points 33 minutes of action. Couple this with Tayshaun Prince scoring 15 points and 10 from Quincy Pondexter and the Clippers had no hope in Game 4.
Game 5 will be played on Tuesday in Los Angeles as the Clippers look to avoid a three-game losing streak that would put them just a game from elimination.
The Indiana Pacers couldn't dominate as the Hawks were a completely different team in this game. They defeated the Pacers 90-69 taking advantage of Indiana's inefficient night from the floor. The Pacers only shot 27 percent in this matchup while the Hawks were steady knocking down 43 percent for their shots.
Al Horford finished with the game-high 26 points as he took advantage of Roy Hibbert being in foul trouble throughout the game. The Hawks were able to make the series 2-1 avoiding a potential sweep.
Turnovers turned the Houston Rockets' chances of making this one a series as they turned the ball over three times after doing a great job of keeping the ball throughout the game. They had turned a 26-point deficit into one-point lead with just less than a minute left in the game.
However, Kevin Durant knocked down a three that hit off the rim and the back board before dropping between the net. Durant tied a playoff career high with 41 points. The Thunder now lead the series 3-0, though they lacked complete dominance without Russell Westbrook.
Game 4 is on Monday with a chance for the Thunder to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
