Four stars from Sunday's NBA playoff games

In the two games in Philly, Brunson scored 88 points and handed out 24 assists, as his Knicks took a 3-1 series lead. While they weren't as spectacular as Brunson was Sunday, we also want to recognize OG Anunoby and Josh Hart of the Knicks, who played 47 and 46 minutes and grabbed 14 and 17 rebounds at 6-foot-7 and 6-foot-4, respectively.

Paul George, Los Angeles Clippers

33 points, eight assists, six rebounds, four steals, one block, seven three-pointers

With Kawhi Leonard out of Game 4 with knee inflammation, Paul George took a much more assertive role in the Clippers offense, scoring 33 points and delivering eight assists in L.A.'s 116-111 victory over the Mavericks. 

While James Harden also had 33 points and seven assists Sunday, George delivered on the defensive end as well, grabbing four steals. He managed to avoid the foul trouble that's dogged him all series, and hit his seventh three-pointer late to give the Clippers a lead they'd never give up.

Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana Pacers

24 points, four rebounds, four assists, five three-pointers, one steal

Haliburton shifted up his pass-first strategy this series by taking a dozen shots from behind the three-point arc, making five of them in the Pacers' 126-113 win over the Bucks. 

He finished with 24 points, second on the team to Myles Turner's high-scoring performance. But even with Haliburton ramping up his scoring all series, from nine points to 12 points, to 18 points to 24, he still delivered some sweet dimes.

Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves

40 points (31 in the second half), nine rebounds, six assists, seven three-pointers, two blocks

Edwards powered Minnesota to their first playoff series win in two decades with his monster performance, which got stronger and more impressive as the game went on. Minnesota went into the fourth quarter trailing, but Edwards scored 16 points and shot 6-for-7 in the final quarter, while blocking two shots in Minnesota's 122-116 win over the Suns. 

The last showed Edwards' incredible athleticism to deny Devin Booker at the rim, as Edwards was guarding Bradley Beal in the corner when Booker's drive began.

Whenever the game got tight, Edwards would block a shot, drive for a dunk or drill a three-pointer.

The Wolves hadn't won a series since 2004, but they haven't had a player like Edwards in almost that whole time. He's different and so is this Minnesota team.
