A missed call as time expired. A missed shot as time expired. A champion pulled away in the final moments. And a great went down, likely with a serious injury.

The NBA playoffs had a little of everything on Sunday.

New York beat Detroit, Minnesota beat the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston beat Orlando and Indiana beat Milwaukee. Those winners now lead those series 3-1 and three — everybody but Minnesota — now go home with a chance to advance in Game 5s.

But those scores were only part of the tale.

The Pistons should have gotten free throws for the lead in the final second; the NBA acknowledged that a foul was missed. The Lakers were 42-1 this season in games where they led by double digits in the fourth quarter; they’re 42-2 now, after an Austin Reaves 3-pointer for the tie barely missed at the end and left them doomed by another monster game from Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards. The Celtics outscored Orlando 10-1 in a 1:38 stretch late to win by nine. And the Bucks lost Damian Lillard to an Achilles injury, with coach Doc Rivers saying afterward that he knows it’s a bad one.

There are two games Monday: Cleveland is at Miami looking for a sweep, and Golden State will seek a 3-1 lead when it hosts Houston.

Stats of the Day

— The Celtics, who set an NBA record for 3-pointers made and attempted this season, have been held under 10 3s in only five games this season. Of those, four were at Orlando, including Sunday (the first time this season Boston won a game when making fewer than 10 3s).

— Boston’s ageless Al Horford (actually, he’s 38) became the second-oldest player with six points, six rebounds and five blocks in a playoff game. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did it at 39 and 40.

— The peculiar streak of triple-doubles in losses is now unlike no other in NBA playoff history. Detroit’s Cade Cunningham (25 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) had one Sunday in the Pistons’ loss to New York. It’s the first time that five consecutive triple-doubles have come in playoff losses (Denver is 0-2 this season in Nikola Jokic triple-double games, Dallas lost its final two games in which Luka Doncic had one in last season’s playoffs).

— New York’s Jalen Brunson is the first player to start a postseason with four consecutive 30-point games since Michael Jordan in 1998. Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo could have joined that group; he scored 28 in the Bucks’ loss to Indiana on Sunday.
