A review of Monday's action in the National Basketball Association
The Philadelphia 76ers held off a fourth-quarter rally from the Boston Celtics to level their Eastern Conference semi-final with an 82-81 win.
Jrue Holiday's haul of 18 points was enough to lead all scorers but it seemed the Celtics were poised to snatch the game when a 32-point fourth saw them take the lead with two minutes to play.
Evan Turner, though, made the winning lay-up though to ensure the teams head to Philadelphia for Wednesday's game three all square at 1-1.
Russell Westbrook led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 119-90 thrashing of the Los Angeles Lakers in game one of their Western Conference semi-final.
Westbrook scored 27 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, while Kevin Durant weighed in with 25 points.
