Both the Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies are looking to move on to the Conference Finals ,while the Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder look to stay alive as the NBA playoffs continue Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Indiana Pacers took advantage of J.R. Smith's continued shooting woes and the New York Knicks' perpetuating shooting struggles as they beat the Knicks 93-92 in Indianapolis, Ind., to take a 3 games to 1 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinals series. The Knicks now will play an elimination game Thursday in Game 5 of the series when it returns to Madison Square Garden in New York.

And in San Antonio, the San Antonio Spurs rolled behind Tony Parker's 25 points and 10 assists to handily beat the Golden State Warriors 109-91 in Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinals series. The victory puts the Spurs up 3 games to 2 in the series with Game 6 scheduled for Thursday in Oakland.

The action continues Wednesday in Miami where LeBron James and the world champion Heat host the Bulls. However, it looks like the Heat may be down a crucial star in Dwayne Wade, who is having knee issues and could be questionable for the game.

Of course, the injury-riddled Bulls know all about injury, with key players Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich having missed the series due to injury problems of their own. While the Bulls took Game 1 in Miami to start the series, the Heat have poured on the firepower in the last two games, burying their bitter rivals on offense. Can the Bulls live to fight another day, or will LeBron and company return to the Eastern Conference Finals for the third consecutive year?

Then in Oklahoma City, Okla., Kevin Durant and the defending Western Conference champion Thunder, with their backs to the wall, hope to push their series to a Game 6 against Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol and the Grizzlies. Memphis has taken advantage of Oklahoma City's struggles from the perimeter as they've taken the last three games of the series.

With revenge on their minds after losing to OKC in the 2011 semifinals, Randolph and the defensive powerhouse Grizzlies would love nothing more than to close out the Thunder on their own home court to reach the Western Conference Finals. But can Durant and the Thunder get a lift from their OKC faithful to send the series back to Memphis?
