On April 20, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued to unfold, leading with the Heat and the Hawks and Grizzlies and Timberwolves, and the two games showed a gunpowder flavor at the beginning. The first is the heat and eagle matchup, Lowry and Hunter fiercely spray, the 2 people each received a technical foul.
In the first game of the series between the Heat and the Hawks, the Heat won easily, leading 1-0. The Hawks made adjustments in the game, didn't let the Heat prevail, and the game became more intense, and with 6 minutes and 9 seconds left in the second quarter, Lowry and Hunter got into an argument. In the replay, the 2 people were entangled very early, the Heat attacked the round, Hunter reached out to block Lowry who wanted to overtake behind him, Lowry also took the opportunity to dance and try to create a foul, the referee did not blow the penalty, and then after getting up, the 2 people quarreled, the referee separated in time, giving the 2 people a technical foul each.
This time Lowry also used his experience, but at first he fell down and the referee did not blow the penalty, after which Hunter may be a little dissatisfied, and then the two sprayed garbage words. After that, the 2 also had a contact, Hunter fouled Lowry, and the referee only gave a regular foul after the referee replayed it, not a malicious foul. The dispute between the two men also subsided, and there was no excessive action, but the gunpowder smell of the two teams had already come out.
The Grizzlies-Timberwolves match followed, and just 60 seconds into the opening, Beverley threw Morant to the ground. When Morant broke through, he was blocked by Downs for a foul, and the referee had already blown the whistle, but Beverley still slapped Morant, who also fell to the ground. Beverly apologized for his movements and tried to reach out and pull Morant up, but was pushed directly to the side by Adams. The referee played back and gave Beverly a technical foul.
After the upset loss in the first game, the Grizzlies don't want to return to Minnesota with a 0-2 score, which would be very disadvantageous. Judging from Beverley's attitude, the Grizzlies are also difficult to win, and if they can escape the Timberwolves, it is still a great improvement for them, after all, many players on their team are participating in the playoffs for the first time, and they need these tough fouls to feel the atmosphere of the playoffs.
