On April 21, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs continued, with 3 games in the West arranged throughout the day, and the series played the third game, and the situation of several teams was very different. The Warriors won a clean and crisp victory over the Nuggets at home to take a 2-0 lead, and on the road, can Curry lead the team to the next city and get the series match point? The game between the Grizzlies and timberwolves, as well as the Lone Rangers against the Jazz, all played 1-1, the top Grizzlies and Lone Rangers have lost home advantage, after stabilizing the situation, can they come back to the top, win on the road and regain home advantage?
At 7:30 a.m., the Grizzlies played against the Timberwolves
The matchup was really a collision of young players, with two games playing brilliantly, with Morant showing off the talent of a younger generation of players, and in the second game he got a quasi-triple-double to help the Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves and hold a home court. The Timberwolves' Towns was completely muted, completely devoid of the momentum and state of the first game, as the leader of the team, the state of ups and downs, the Timberwolves are destined not to go far.
The next two games will be the home of the Timberwolves, and the Grizzlies will have to win at least one game to get home-court advantage back. The Grizzlies, who were completely open, found their regular season status, and under Morant's leadership, played more people, which the Timberwolves did not have. If Towns can't come up with the Momentum of the Wolves, the Grizzlies have a good chance of taking back 2 wins from the road.
At 9 a.m., the Lone Rangers played against the Jazz
The Mavericks, without core Doncic, saved one home game and headed to the Jazz home game with a 1-1 score. There's good news for the Lone Rangers, doncic's injury has improved and there will be hopes of a comeback in the next two games. It also means the Lone Ranger will be fighting for a win on the road trip, and when they return home, they will have home-court advantage again.
The current Jazz is not as stable as the previous two seasons, and Mitchell, who will run away every time the playoffs, has gradually become the king of the air slash, and the ability to lead the team is really not good. In terms of leading the team, the young Doncic is better, and it is no wonder that the Lone Ranger has to support this young man as the core of the team. The Jazz are not easy to play at home, and if the Lone Rangers want to win, Doncic's comeback is essential.
At 10 a.m., the Warriors played against the Nuggets
The Warriors have become more united by the playoffs, and they no longer need Curry to slash points and win easily. On the contrary, today's Nuggets, there is no momentum of the king of reversals, Jokic is difficult to say, the team has also erupted infighting, and The mood of Mr. Jo is on the verge of collapse, this MVP is really too difficult.
The Warriors are naturally reluctant to give the Nuggets a chance to turn over, even if they go to the Nuggets' home, the Warriors still want to fire fully, successfully close the game, and strive to sweep the Nuggets. Whether the Warriors can get the game point in the third game, in addition to their own stable play, depends on the Nuggets' ability to adjust. Whether it is swept away or a Jedi strikes back, let's wait and see!
