Milwaukee and Golden State qualified for the next round of the NBA playoffs on Wednesday, both winning their series by four wins to one.

The Milwaukee Bucks, defending champions, dominated Chicago (116-100) at home thanks to 33 points from Greek giant Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In the conference semifinals, Milwaukee will face the Boston Celtics, who swept the Brooklyn Nets.

The Miami Heat having already qualified, there is only one ticket left to take to the east, between Philadelphia and Toronto.

In the west, Golden State is the first team to make the cut.

The Warriors crunched the Denver Nuggets (102-98), carried by their leader Stephen Curry, author of 30 points in front of his audience.

The Californian franchise will therefore challenge the winner of the series between Memphis and Minnesota, currently led 3-2 by the Grizzlies.
