League No. 2 crashed to the ground

The League's No. 2 Grizzlies played the Nuggets. In this campaign, the Nuggets, led by Jokic, played a smooth offense. The Grizzlies relied on seven players to score in double figures, taking a double-digit lead at one point. But the Denver crowd, who are aiming to lock up the playoffs, will clearly have a stronger desire to win. Under Jokic's outburst, the Nuggets quickly ate into the point difference and overtook their opponents by 17 points at the end of the half.

Fighting again, Jokic is still unstoppable at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. At one point, the Nuggets put a 30-point difference in points, and the game lost suspense, and Jokic achieved an early clock-in. In the end, the Nuggets won 122-109. The Grizzlies, the second-in-command of the league, fell to the ground.

In that game, Nuggets star Nikola Jokic blasted 35 points, 16 boards, 6 assists, 5 breaks and 1 block of the super double-double stats. Jokic, who led the game in five statistics of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, achieved a full range of explosions. After this game, the Nuggets' record reached 48-33, and they were able to secure the top 6 positions in the West. As a result, Denver won a playoff spot (which could eventually be ranked 5th or 6th in the West).

Bucks Green Army grabs the spot

The Bucks and Celtics fought for the second place in the East. The Bucks, who played in full strength, narrowly won 127-121 under the outstanding performances of Alphabet Brother, Middleton, Juju holedday, Lopez and Portis. The two sides fought until the last moment to be able to distinguish between victory and defeat. It can be seen that both teams are determined to win this game. After winning, the Bucks' record reached 50 wins and 30 losses, a 0.5-game difference advantage, surpassing the Celtics (50-31) and becoming the second place in the East. The Green Army and the Bucks swapped ranks.

After the game, Celtics head coach Uduka was interviewed. "We only had three games in the 13 days before the playoffs, there were a lot of breaks, we didn't want to go a week and a half without playing," he said. ”

"We're still playing for seedings and standings. We'll see how the Grizzlies play their last game..."

It seems that the Celtics are still fighting for rankings. It is worth noting that with the Celtics and 76ers (Philadelphia losing 114-119 to the Raptors) successively losing, the Heat have locked up the No. 1 position in the East. In order to have more home advantage in the playoffs, both the Bucks and the Celtics will continue to strive to get more wins. Milwaukee and Boston will stage a battle for the second place in the East.

The Bucks and Greens are fighting for the Second Place in the East, and once the winner is decided, the team will most likely play the Nets in the playoffs. Once Brooklyn passes the playoffs, it is likely to make it to the playoffs as the 7th in the East. At that time, whether it is the first round of the Nets against the Bucks, or the Nets against the Celtics, it will be quite interesting.

It seems that both the Bucks and the Green Army are determined to win the championship and are not afraid of Brooklyn's powerful offensive firepower. Both the Bucks and the Green Army believe that home field advantage in the playoffs is obviously more valuable than avoiding the Nets in the first round. It is worth mentioning that the Nets defeated the Celtics in the first round of last season's playoffs. However, Brooklyn lost to the Bucks in the 7th game in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Nets still have the opportunity and ability to be the spoilers of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
