It'll be a quick turnaround for Friday's winners. The Atlanta-Miami winner opens the playoffs at East No. 1 Cleveland on Sunday night, while the Memphis-Dallas winner opens the playoffs at West No. 1 and top overall seed Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon. They won't be complaining.

The Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks, the No. 10 seeds in both the Eastern and Western Conferences respectively, were victorious in their first NBA play-in game on Wednesday, advancing them to a final win-or-go-home game for a playoff berth.

Amid his many outstanding playoff performances, his showing in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against the Suns stands out as the most prolific from a scoring perspective. Nowitzki dropped 50 to give the Mavericks a 3-2 lead in the series.
