After five days of NBA Playoffs action, some teams are all tied up at one-game a piece, while others are pulling ahead and a few are fighting for their playoff lives as the action continues Thursday.

Wednesday saw the Oklahoma City Thunder get closer to defending their Western Conference title by squeaking one out over a very game Houston Rockets team 105-102 in a game where Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 58 points to help OKC overwhelm Rockets All-Star James Harden's game-high 36 points. The win puts the Thunder up 2-0 in the first round series.

In Indianapolis, the Indiana Pacers also went up 2-0 in their first round series with the Atlanta Hawks by beating Atlanta 113-98 behind Pacers All-Star Paul George's 27 points. And in San Antonio, Tony Parker's 28 points helped the San Antonio Spurs sink the L.A. Lakers 102-91 to pull ahead 2-0 in the series with Game 3 scheduled for Friday in Los Angeles.

The action continues Thursday when LeBron James and the world champion Miami Heat visit Milwaukee to take on Brandon Jennings and the Milwaukee Bucks. Miami took the first two games in Miami, but the Bucks are looking to turn it around with a win at home.

At the United Center in Chicago, the Brooklyn Nets collide with the Chicago Bulls, with both teams tied at one apiece. So far, Bulls All-Star Joakim Noah is looking stronger, but Deron Williams and Brook Lopez would love nothing more than to pull ahead in the series on the Bulls' home turf.

And in prime time, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the L.A. Clippers, already ahead 2-0 in the series, are looking to get closer to the semifinals when they head to the Fedex Forum in Memphis to take on Defensive Player of the Year Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and the Memphis Grizzlies, who are looking to avoid the brink of elimination.
