The NBA Play-offs have reached the final four. In the Eastern Conference, the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers have gone 8-0 through the first two series. Now they’ll meet the battle-tested Toronto Raptors.
In the Western Conference, the defending champion Golden State Warriors have a healthy Stephen Curry and will play the Oklahoma City Thunder, who upset the San Antonio Spurs thanks to the heroics of stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
The winners of the two series will meet in the NBA Finals.
