Eastern Conference

The 2020 NBA playoffs continue on Sunday with two pivotal Game 5s in the Eastern Conference. The Milwaukee Bucks will look to close out their series with the Orlando Magic, while the Toronto Raptors will attempt to do the same against the Boston Celtics.

Here’s everything you need to know about Sunday’s slate of games:

##Orlando Magic vs. Milwaukee Bucks (1:00 p.m. ET, ABC)
The Bucks took a 3-1 lead in this series with a convincing 122-108 victory in Game 4 on Friday. Giannis Antetokounmpo was once again dominant, finishing with 32 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. Khris Middleton added 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Eric Bledsoe chipped in 21 points and six assists off the bench.

For the Magic, Nikola Vucevic continued his strong play with 25 points and 11 rebounds, while Evan Fournier added 20 points. However, Orlando simply doesn’t have enough firepower to keep up with the Bucks’ offense, as they were outscored by 14 points in the second half of Friday’s game.

Milwaukee is now one win away from advancing to the conference semifinals for the third consecutive year. If they can close out this series on Sunday, they will likely face either the Miami Heat or Indiana Pacers in Round 2.

##Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors (3:30 p.m., ABC)
This series appeared to be over after the Raptors blew out the Celtics 112-94 in Game 3 on Wednesday night. However, Boston responded with a 121-114 victory in Game 4 on Friday, setting up a crucial Game 5 on Sunday afternoon.

Kemba Walker was once again excellent for the Celtics in Game 4, finishing with 28 points and eight assists. Jayson Tatum added 27 points and eight rebounds while Marcus Smart chipped in 22 points off the bench. Boston’s offense was unstoppable at times, as they shot 50 percent from three-point range and had seven players score in double figures.

For Toronto, Pascal Siakam struggled for most of the night and finished with just 13 points on 5-for-17 shooting from the field. Norman Powell led the way for the Raptors with 23 points off the bench, but it wasn’t enough as Toronto fell flat in the second half of Friday’s game.

It looks like this series is going to come down to which team can make more shots, as both teams have been extremely evenly matched through four games. The winner of Sunday’s game will take a 3-2 lead back home for Game 6 on Tuesday night.”

Western Conference

The Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA) is one of two conferences that makes up the league, the other being the Eastern Conference. Like the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference is made up of 15 teams, organized in three divisions.

The divisional and conference system was adopted by the NBA in 1970, when the league expanded from 12 to 14 teams with the addition of the Buffalo Braves and Cleveland Cavaliers. When the NBA absorbed four teams from the defunct American Basketball Association in 1976, increasing the number of teams to 18, it also realigned itself into two conferences with two divisions each. The division names were changed to their current form prior to the start of play for the 1970–71 season. As of 2019, there are 30 teams once again in two conferences of three divisions each.
