They'll face either the defending champion Denver Nuggets or the Minnesota Timberwolves, who faced a deciding Game Seven in their series on Sunday.

"We had to respond the way we've responded all season, just playing hardnosed basketball on the defensive end, getting out in transition and just trusting that our pace would get us back in the game.
