The Wizards eventually won game one of the semifinal 102 – 96 and after four games on the road in the playoffs they are still unbeaten.

On the other side of the country, LA Clippers defeated Oklahoma City Thunder. It was all about Chris Paul. LA's shooting guard was the MVP of the game. He scored 32 points and delivered 10 assists. “CP3” was on fire from beyond the arc scoring eight times out of nine attempts.
