The Boston Celtics are rolling in the Eastern Conference Semis against the defending champion Toronto Raptors. Led by Jayson Tatum's 34 points coupled by a Marcus Smart barrage of six 3-pointers and Kemba Walker's ability to close out games, the C's took a 2-0 in the best of seven series.
Toronto was spearheaded by five players scoring in double digit figures including the continued high-level playoff play by Fred Van Fleet.
In the Nightcap, the Denver Nuggets dug themselves out of a 3-1 hole to defeat the Utah Jazz in an entertaining and explosive seven game series that featured extraordinarily high-level guard action from Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell.
In each game, both teams combined nearly averaged 235 points per outing but Game 7 proved to be an old-fashion slug-fest with the final score being 80-78 in the Nuggets favor.
Denver will now prepare for their match-up against the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals which begins on Thursday.
