Heat, Lakers get another chance to move to conference finals; Knicks, Warriors on brink

New York guards Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes played an entire elimination game with no rest, just to extend their season. It's why Brunson and Grimes are playing 48 minutes, why Butler is playing through ankle soreness, why Golden State's Stephen Curry is taking more shots per game — by a significant margin — than he ever has in a playoff run, and why the Los Angeles Lakers' Anthony Davis will likely play through whatever is ailing him after he had to leave early Wednesday night.
