Summary

It was a big night for the lower-seeded road teams, who all won their games and created 2-1 series, whether ahead or behind. The Atlanta Hawks, fueled by some great team defense, Jonathan Kuminga off the bench and a go-ahead shot from new "villain" CJ McCollum, beat the New York Knicks 109-108 to take a 2-1 series lead. Then came the Toronto Raptors, who stayed alive in a 126-104 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're still down 2-1, but massive nights from Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and several youngsters gave the Cavs something to think about. And finally, the Minnesota Timberwolves thumped the Denver Nuggets 113-99, despite foul trouble for Anthony Edwards. What was up with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray (besides missing Aaron Gordon)?
