In other NBA playoff action the Cleveland Cavs edged closer to the next round following a 100-97 win over the Washington Wizards. The scores were level at 97 with 28 seconds left on the clock. Delonte West was the hero for the Cavs as he sunk the winning three point shot with 5 seconds to play. The Cavaliers lead the series 3-1.
