Cavaliers 113, Wizards 108 (OT) Kevin Love scored 19 points in limited minutes and guard Matthew Dellavedova had 18 points and matched his career high with 12 assists for Cleveland as the Cavaliers beat the Washington Wizards 113-108 in overtime.

Guard Jimmy Butler added 21 points for the Bulls, who erased an 18-point deficit in the second half and secured the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Bulls 91, Hawks 85 Guard Aaron Brooks scored 23 points off the bench, and the Chicago Bulls rallied for a 91-85 win against the Atlanta Hawks.

Grizzlies 95, Pacers 83 Center Marc Gasol posted a double-double with a career-high 33 points and 13 rebounds as the Memphis Grizzlies defeated Indiana 95-83 to prevent the Pacers from claiming a playoff spot.
