The 2015 NBA playoffs continue on Wednesday with Game 5 of the first-round series between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Memphis Grizzlies. Tipoff is at 9:30 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream or listen to the radio broadcast via the links below.
Portland forced a fifth game with Monday's 99-92 win over Memphis. Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard scored a game-high 32 points, and LaMarcus Aldridge and C.J. McCollum both added 18 points as Portland avoided being swept.
"I think since the last game when we went 0-3, the big thing we've been talking about is having heart and playing with pride -- and just not being swept," Lillard told the Associated Press after the game. "Everybody's always saying, 'Nobody's ever done it, coming back from 0-3.' We didn't want to focus on that. We wanted to focus on just today, and doing everything we had to do to give ourselves a chance to keep playing."
Grizzlies star Marc Gasol, who led Memphis with 21 points, didn't mince words about why his team lost the game.
"We stopped competing," he said. "We tried to trade buckets with them, and we played a little bit too fast. We did not execute as well as we could have," he said. "They took away the momentum that we built and got away with a win. Got to give them credit."
Game 4 was the Grizzlies' first game of the series without guard Mike Conley, who underwent surgery Monday morning after accidently getting elbowed in the face during Game 3. Grizzlies guard Courtney Lee scored 19 points and veteran Beno Udrih added 13.
