Sudden power outage at the end of the section! The 76ers were defeated by the Pistons
Prior to this game, the 76ers had suffered two consecutive defeats to the Suns and Bucks, and after two consecutive games against the devils of the strong teams, the 76ers will face the second-to-last Pistons in the East, and the 76ers in the Diden combination have a chance to breathe, and it looks like they will have a good chance to win the game easily.
In the first three quarters of the game, the situation on the field was also as predicted by fans before the game, and the 76ers firmly held the initiative. With a temporary 4-point lead in the first half, the 76ers in the third quarter began to play small climaxes in a row to extend the lead, and although the Pistons recovered a little point difference at the end of the quarter, the game was still in the hands of the 76ers. However, in the final quarter of the game, the 76ers suddenly lost power, and in addition to their own scoring drought, they were also hit by the opponent with a wave of 23:4 offensive climax. In the end, with just 15 points scored throughout the quarter, the 76ers were reversed by their opponents, losing the game 94:102.

In this game, the poor performance of the Diden combination in the last quarter was an important reason for their reversal.

The Nets' game against the Bucks was a focus battle, with the two teams facing each other in last season's playoff semifinals, and both sides were also embroiled in resentment over Antetokounmpo's footing with Irving. On the other hand, judging from the current ranking situation, the two teams are likely to meet in the first round this season. Both sides are also fully prepared for this game, and everyone wants to be the winning side.
In the first quarter of the game, the Nets took the lead in the form to play a 10-4 start, and the Bucks came in quickly to close the score. At the end of the quarter, the Nets once again exerted themselves to take a seven-point lead. In the second quarter, as the whole team blossomed more points, the Nets briefly widened the point difference to double digits, but the Bucks fought back, trailing by only 4 points at the end of the half. In the third quarter, the Bucks completed the rebound led by Antetokounmpo's 13 points in a single quarter, and entered the final quarter with a one-point lead. In the final quarter, the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war, and after one 9 points behind, the Bucks finally dragged the game into overtime after Antetokounmpo's three-point tie.
In overtime, the score between the two teams was still very anxious, and durant and Antetokounmpo started a free throw war in the final moments, and after establishing a one-point lead, the Bucks left the Nets a chance to make one last attack, but Durant was forced to kill three points, and the Nets eventually lost the game. Although Durant had a quasi-triple-double of 26 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, durant failed to hit the last two kills in regular time and overtime, and only a little bit could lead the team to win the game. Antetokounmpo was once again unstoppable in this campaign, scoring a luxurious stat of 44 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists.
In addition to the final result of the match, the battle once again had a very controversial moment. During the Nets' Brown's 1-on-0 quick attack, Middleton behind him suddenly pulled it maliciously as he was preparing to dunk, and was blown off by the referee for a second-degree malicious foul. Although Brown was not injured, such a move once again brought the feud between the two teams back to the surface. After this campaign, the Bucks have only 0.5 wins left to finish first in the East, and in short, the two sides are likely to meet in the first round of the playoffs.

In the last game, the Bulls won away from home to the Wizards, giving them a temporary respite. In this battle, they will face the Clippers with General George in their hands, and they are bound to usher in a fierce battle.
Sure enough, in the first half of the game, the Clippers firmly grasped the initiative on the court, once taking a double-digit lead and still leading the Bulls by nine points at the end of the half. Although the Bulls struggled to chase points, the point difference has been hovering around 10 points, and at one point it was close to 20 points. In the final quarter, the Bulls, who were not willing to lose, launched a counterattack battle, flattening the point difference at a critical moment and entering overtime with DeRozan's free throws. In overtime, DeRozan and Vucevic helped the Bulls score points, and in the end, DeRozan once again killed the game with free throws, and the Bulls narrowly won 135-130.
Even against the league's top defensive players like George, DeRozan scored a season-high 50 points on 27 of 17 of 26 shots, and slashed 27 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, helping the team complete the counterattack in overtime. In contrast, George shot only 7 of 20 in the game, including only 22 points on 9 three-pointers, and was almost blown up by DeRozan in all directions.
After winning this game, the Bulls temporarily stabilized the fifth position in the East, and although the Clippers lost this game without a winning streak, because the Lakers lost to the Jazz, they finally locked the top eight position in the West in advance and booked a playoff place.
