Warriors, Knicks extend their series to Game 6
The Golden State Warriors kept their NBA title defence alive on Wednesday with a 121-106 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, who saw star center Anthony Davis depart after taking a blow to the head. The Warriors cut the deficit in their Western Conference semi-final series to 3-2. The New York Knicks also stayed alive as Jalen Brunson scored 38 points in a 112-103 victory over the Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden that pushed their Eastern Conference semi-final series to a sixth game. Golden State and New York now must win on the road on Friday to give themselves a chance of taking their respective series on Sunday. Only 13 NBA teams have rallied from 3-1 down to win a series. The Warriors did it against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2016 Western Conference finals - then a Cleveland Cavaliers team led by LeBron James did the same against them in the NBA Finals. (AFP)
