Denver’s Nikola Jokic was the runaway MVP this season, which made it a virtual certainty that he would also be an All-NBA first-team selection. Here’s the rarity:
Trae Young scored 35 points and the Atlanta Hawks withstood a late rally to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 128-124 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
Seth Curry scored 30 points, Tobias Harris had 28 and the Philadelphia 76ers finished off the Washington Wizards in five games with a 129-112 victory Wednesday night.
Danny Green hit eight 3-pointers and scored 28 points as the Philadelphia 76ers weathered Los Angeles’ late rally to win 109-101 over the slumping Lakers.
Gary Trent Jr. scored 24 points and Enes Kanter had 17 points and lead the undermanned Portland Trail Blazers to a 121-105 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Joel Embiid had 45 points and Dakota Mathias hits a go-ahead 3-pointer with 26.1 seconds left as the Philadelphia 76ers hung on to beat the Miami Heat 137-134 in overtime.
