The Phoenix Suns tied their NBA play-off series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 100-92 victory.
The Western Conference series is poised at 2-2, with game five on Tuesday.
An injury to forward Anthony Davis late in the second quarter hampered the Lakers’ early progress and the visitors took control in the second half.
Davis, who had scored 34 points in each of the two previous games of the series, was ruled out of the game after hurting his groin.
The Suns had led by four points at the half-way mark but stretched their lead to 16 points in the third quarter and a late rally from the hosts, led by top-scoring LeBron James, was not enough.
Six different players scored double figures for the Suns.
Earlier, the Atlanta Hawks beat the New York Knicks 113-96.
The Hawks now lead the best-of-seven series 3-1 and are one game away from the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
Trae Young – who scored 21 points and added 14 assists in the previous game – starred again with 27 points.
After a tight first half, the damage was done in the third period when the Hawks outscored the Knicks by 13 points.
The win leaves Atalanta with the longest active home winning streak in the NBA, at 13 games.
The Boston Celtics meet the Brooklyn Nets later on Sunday (00:00 BST) followed by the Dallas Mavericks against the Los Angeles Clippers (02:30 BST).
