INDIANAPOLIS — Danny Granger scored 25 points and Indiana beat Orlando 105-87 on Tuesday night to clinch their first-round Eastern Conference series in five games.

It was Indiana’s first series win since 2005 and its first clincher on its home court since the first round of the 2000 playoffs. The Pacers will play Miami or New York in the second round.

Hawks 87, Celtics 86

ATLANTA — Al Horford scored 19 points in his first start since January, and Atlanta held on for the victory in Game 5.

Game 6 is Thursday in Boston.

The Celtics had a chance to clinch the series when Rajon Rondo stole Josh Smith’s inbounds pass with 10 seconds remaining. But he got hemmed in along the sideline and Smith knocked away a desperation pass.

Horford, who went down in January with a torn pectoral muscle, had 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocked shots.

Bulls 77, 76ers 69

CHICAGO — Luol Deng scored 24 points and Carlos Boozer added 19 points and 13 rebounds as Chicago avoided a first-round playoff exit.

The top-seeded Bulls finally won without point guard Derrick Rose, building a nine-point halftime lead and staying in control down the stretch to pull within 3-2. Game 6 is Thursday in Philadelphia.

It’s been a brutal series for the Bulls, with Rose tearing the ACL in his left knee late in the opener and center Joakim Noah spraining his left ankle in Game 3. He sat out his second straight game.

LOS ANGELES — Andre Miller scored 24 points, including two free throws with 12.8 seconds left, and Denver survived Kobe Bryant’s 43-point performance to avoid playoff elimination.

JaVale McGee had 21 points and 14 rebounds for the Nuggets, who trimmed the Lakers’ series lead to 3-2. Game 6 is Thursday in Denver.

Denver had a 15-point lead midway through the fourth quarter but Bryant hit four 3-pointers over the final 4:47 to make it 98-96 with 59 seconds left.
