Bradley Beal shook off a sprained ankle to score 28 points and the visiting Washington Wizards remained unbeaten in the postseason, knocking off the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks, 104-98, Sunday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Taking advantage of a week off since their sweep of Toronto in the opening round, the Wizards wore down the Hawks in the fourth quarter.
Warriors 101, Grizzlies 86 - Stephen Curry had 22 points and seven assists, and the host Golden State Warriors wore down the undermanned Memphis Grizzlies in a 101-86 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Klay Thompson added 18 points and Draymond Green scored 16 to help the top-seeded Warriors roll to their 21st straight victory at raucous Oracle Arena. They led by nine at the half, 20 late in the third quarter and never let the Grizzlies build any momentum in the fourth.
Curry wins MVP
A person familiar with the decision says Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has won the NBA's most valuable player award. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday because the league has not released the voting results. An official announcement is expected Monday.
