今晚，波士顿凯尔特人队和休斯敦火箭队继续努力，期待创造美职篮季后赛的历史。没有一支球队在0比3落后的情况下连赢四场实现大翻盘。但是据NPR新闻的汤姆·高曼报道，凯尔特人和火箭都有机会。今晚两只球队都将迎来第六场比赛，且都是主场作战。

The young Rockets trial _3_ western conference champion Oklahoma City three zip. Even though the Thunder had lost injury star point guard Russell Westbrook. But then savvy moves by Houston head coach Kevin McHale deadly three-point shooting and smothering defense on OKC's superstar Kevin Durant and the Rockets pulled the win in three games to two. Boston also _4_ its series against the New York Knicks to 3:2. The Knicks was a better team, but they've gone lost somewhere between guard J.R.Smith hothead behavior and star Cameron Anthony's ball _5_ weights and with the veteran Celtics team, vowing to fight to the end, a series that seemed over a week ago, it's anything but. Tom Goldman, NPR News.

年轻的火箭队试图连续三场击败西部冠军俄克拉何马城的球队。雷霆队的控球后卫拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克因受伤无法上场。而休斯敦的主教练凯文·麦克海尔使用了精明的战术，致命的三分球和对俄克拉何马的当家球星凯文·杜兰特的严密防守，使得火箭队将总比分扳成3比2。波士顿也将与纽约尼克斯队的比分缩小至3比2。尼克斯队是个优秀的球队，但是由于后卫J.R.史密斯不理智的行为，当家球星卡梅隆·安东尼持球单打过多，尼克斯队有些迷失了方向，老练的凯尔特人队发誓要战斗到最后，虽然季后赛首轮看似可能在一个星期前就结束了，但其实并不是这样。NPR新闻，汤姆·高曼报道。
