2023 NBA Playoffs: Scores, Results, Full Series Schedules, Times; Suns Top Clippers, lead 3-1; The 76’s are advancing

The weekend’s NBA playoff schedule began with the 76ers becoming the first team to advance to the conference semifinals after a Sixers roster playing without Joel Embiid swept the nets out of the postseason. The Clippers, without Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (knee) for the second year in a row, went down for the second year in a row and now Los Angeles is on the brink. Bucks-Heat and Grizzlies-Lakers complete Saturday’s standings.

The Knicks are looking to win 3-1 against the Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The Warriors will get Draymond Green back for their Game 4 against the Kings after his one-game suspension, and Celtics-Hawks and Nuggets-Timbewolves will finish the weekend.
