The NBA Playoffs continue tonight with the conference semifinals and victories for Phoenix and Philadelphia.

Phoenix Suns - Denver Nuggets 116-102 (3-0) : new success for the Suns who are getting closer to a Western Conference Finals. Against the Denver Nuggets and their MVP, Nikola Jokic (32 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists), the Arizona franchise won quietly with big performances from Chris Paul author of 27 points and 8 assists, and his teammate Devin Booker with 28 units. Another great collective performance with 5 players at 10 points or more. Phoenix is almost in the finals and only needs a small victory to qualify.

Atlanta Hawks - Philadelphia Sixers 111-127 (1-2) : Trailing 1-0 in this series, Philadelphia finally seems to be on a roll. The Sixers get another win and lead 2 to 1 in this conference semifinal. Led by a very good Embiid, who finished with nearly 27 units and 9 rebounds, Phila could also count on Tobias Harris with 22 points and Ben Simmons with 18 points and 7 assists. On the other side, Trae Young was again present with 28 points, but the Hawks' point guard was a bit alone, despite the good game of John Collins with 23 points. Leading 2-1, Nate McMillan's team will have no choice and a reaction is expected in game 4.
