Today, the NBA playoffs continue, and the Brooklyn Nets usher in the day when they will receive their trial.
In the series against the Boston Celtics, the Nets are 3-0 behind. In the history of the NBA, no team has ever been able to flip the game in a 0-3 situation, so the Nets have basically declared that they have been eliminated this season, and today's game is only doing the final struggle.
Durant did his best in this game, scoring 39 points, seven rebounds and nine assists on 13-of-31 shooting, and was very well-rounded. However, Durant's play is not enough to lead the Nets to win, because he has too many players who are lagging behind. Irving scored just 20 points and five assists on 6-of-13 shooting, while Seth Curry scored 23 points and hit five three-pointers, and he's not a superstar.
The Celtics continued to play steadily, with Tatum scoring 29 points and five assists, Jaylen Brown contributing 22 points, Smart with 20 points and 11 assists, and Grant Williams on the bench scoring 14 points. It was clear that the Green shirts were the more stable side, performing better on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and eventually beat the Nets 116-112.
At this point, the Nets could not win a game in the first round of the playoffs and were directly swept out. This is the first time in their careers that Durant and Irving have been swept out of the game and lost face. But the Nets fell into such a situation, in fact, it is also self-inflicted.
Owen still refused to get a needle and angrily walked away from Harden. The Nets switched back to Simmons, but they didn't expect to hire a big uncle, and they hadn't seen Simmons play all season. Originally, Simmons planned to play in the fourth game, but he did not consult with the team and said that his back hurt again and could not play. There are too many uncles in the team, and Durant also has words of suffering.
