NBA playoff results | Tuesday

TORONTO — Kawhi Leonard scored 27 points, Pascal Siakam added 24 and Toronto used another stifling defensive effort to beat Orlando, winning their first-round playoff series in five games.

Kyle Lowry scored 14 points as the Raptors finished off the Magic with ease, bouncing back from a Game 1 defeat to win by double-digits in three of the next four. Toronto led by as many as 37 in the clincher, their biggest-ever margin in a playoff game.

It’s the fourth straight year the Raptors have reached the second round.

76ers 120, Nets 100 Philadelphia wins series 4-1

PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid scored 23 points and had 13 rebounds and Ben Simmons added 13 points to help the 76ers rout the Nets and close out their Eastern Conference playoff series in five games.

Up next, a second round series against the Toronto Raptors, who dropped their playoff opener before winning four straight against Orlando — the same thing the Sixers did to Brooklyn.

Nuggets 108, Spurs 90 Denver leads series 3-2

DENVER — Jamal Murray’s 23 points led six Nuggets in double figures and Denver routed the Spurs to move within one win of their first playoff series triumph in a decade.

Up 3 games to 2, the Nuggets can wrap up the series Thursday night in San Antonio, where they won last weekend for the first time since 2012, regaining the homecourt advantage.

Trail Blazers 118, Thunder 115 Portland wins series 4-1

PORTLAND, Ore. — Damian Lillard hit a 37-footer at the buzzer and finished with career playoffhigh 50 points to help Portland eliminate Oklahoma City from the playoffs in five games.

With the game tied, Lillard dribbled just inside of halfcourt near the Blazers logo and then pulled up and hit the game-winner.

Lillard waved goodbye to the Thunder bench after nailing the shot, then was promptly mobbed by his teammates.
