Anthony Davis scored 33 of his franchise playoff-record 47 points in the second half, and the host Pelicans completed a first-round playoff sweep of the Trail Blazers with a 131-123 victory on Saturday.

Jrue Holiday capped his 41-point performance with an 18-foot pull-up jumper that gave the Pelicans a six-point lead with 40 seconds left.

Rajon Rondo added 16 assists, and Davis also had 11 rebounds and three blocks for the Pelicans.

C.J. McCollum scored 38 for the Trail Blazers, which responded to a blowout loss in Game 3 by keeping Game 4 close until the final minute. Al-Farouq Aminu scored 27, Damian Lillard added 18 points and Jusuf Nurkic had 18 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out.

T’wolves 121, Rockets 105: Jimmy Butler hit four 3-pointers among his 28 points and Karl-Anthony Towns snapped back from a bad start to the series with 18 points and 16 rebounds, leading the host Timberwolves past the Rockets in Game 3 for their first postseason victory in 14 years.

76ers 106, Heat 102: Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid certainly aren’t acting like playoff first-timers, and JJ Redick provided the veteran leadership that the 76ers so desperately needed.

Simmons was the first rookie since Magic Johnson in 1980 to have a playoff triple-double, Redick led the 76ers with 24 points and they moved one win from the second round by topping the host Heat to take a 3-1 lead in their Eastern Conference first-round series.

The 76ers turned a 10-point deficit into a seven-point lead with a 19-2 run that ended midway through the fourth quarter.

The Heat’s Justise Winslow was fined $15,000 by the NBA on Friday for attempting to damage 76ers center Joel Embiid’s facemask during Game 3 of their playoff series.
