Sunday’s NBA playoffs


Thunder 93, Grizzlies 91

OKLAHOMA CITY

Kevin Durant scored 35 points and hit a pair of jumpers in the final minute to lift Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. Derek Fisher poked the ball away from Mike Conley to spring Durant the other way and he pulled up to hit a shot with 11.1 seconds left to put Oklahoma City up 91-90. Thabo Sefolosha then deflected an inbounds pass, and Conley landed out of bounds while diving for the ball. Reggie Jackson hit two free throws to make the lead three, and Quincy Pondexter was unable to hit all three of his free throws with 1.6 seconds left to tie it up.

Pacers 102, Knicks 95

NEW YORK

David West scored 20 points, Paul George added 19 for Indiana in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. D.J. Augustin had 16 points for the Pacers, who built a 16-point lead while Carmelo Anthony was on the bench in foul trouble in the third quarter, and easily held on to spoil the Knicks’ first second-round game since 2000. Anthony finished with 27 points and 11 rebounds.
