Death 39 split into empty slashes, and the Nets were swept away! The whole team was in a slump, and the 76ers lost at home to 2:3! Doncic 33+13, the Battle of the Lone Ranger King Mountain!
Durant scored 39 points! The Nets were swept away
Prior to this game, the Nets had suffered three consecutive losses in the series, and with the loss of the previous game, the Nets had no way back. If they lose again at home in this game, they will be swept by their opponents and will be the first team to be eliminated in the playoffs this season. Although it is almost impossible to complete the turnover, if it is swept miserably, it will be a big blow to the Nets and Durant. Therefore, they must do their best to win the game.
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played back and forth in the first half, and as the Celtics played a 10-0 wave of small climaxes at the end of the quarter, they took a four-point lead in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Nets once tied the score, but the Green Army pulled away again at the end of the quarter and entered the second half with an eight-point advantage. In the third quarter, the Green Army once pulled the point difference to double digits, leading 98:70 into the final quarter. In the final quarter, the Nets, who were not willing to lose, blossomed more and chased the point difference to 1 point. However, with Horford and Smart's baskets and the Nets missing out on consecutive goals, the Green Army won 116-112 to complete the sweep.
In this game, the Green Army with the whole team blossoming at multiple points, again and again withstood the Nets' crazy counterattack, and finally won this crucial victory. Among them, Tatum shot 9 of 16 in this game, including 4 of 6 three-pointers to cut a team-high 29 points. Smart, who hit a key layup, had a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists, and Brown also had 22 points. In terms of the Nets, although Durant returned to form this game and cut a comprehensive stat of 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, he regretted missing the key three points in the final moments, resulting in the team finally losing again and being swept by the opponent. Irving's state is still tepid in this game, and he only scored 20 points in the whole game, which did not help the team change its fate.
After winning the game, the Green Army successfully completed the sweep of the Nets without being optimistic, becoming the first team to qualify in the playoffs this season. The Nets have encountered great doubts from the outside world after being swept away, and for them, two consecutive seasons of premature exit will have a big impact on their future.
The whole team is in a slump! The 76ers lost another city at home
In the Raptors' series against the 76ers, the 76ers have taken a big 3-0 lead in the first three games, and in the last game, the Raptors, who were at home, temporarily pulled back a city under the big explosion of Siakam. While the Raptors avoided being swept away, the injury to the team's main point guard, Van Vliet, cast a shadow over their fifth game, which will also be played at home with the 76ers.
In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors took the lead in playing a 18:10 start, but Embiid scored 10 consecutive points to quickly catch up with the point difference. In the second quarter, the 76ers suddenly lost power, and the Raptors once again played a 12-0 small climax, while the 76ers only scored 12 points in a single quarter, and they were already 13 points behind at halftime. Yi Bian fought again, and the Raptors still maintained excellent form in the third quarter of the game, and the point difference has been hovering around 10 points. In the final quarter, the Raptors always held the initiative on the court, while the 76ers were tepid and failed to recover the point difference in the end, losing the game 88:103.
In this game, the 76ers at home, although they are only one step away from qualifying, they play completely unlike a team that has taken the lead, and the whole team is in very bad shape. Among them, although Embiid cut a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds, he did not play a one-column performance due to the impact of his finger injury. Harden was sluggish again on the offensive end, scoring just 15 points and seven assists on just four-of-11 shooting, while also making five turnovers. Maxi and Harris' shooting percentages are also very unsatisfactory, and the team's three-point shooting rate is only 27%.
As for the Raptors, although the team's main point guard Van Vliet missed the game due to injury, the whole team won this crucial backwater battle in a double score of 5 people, of which Siakam received a comprehensive statistic of 23 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. After winning this game, the next game will return to the Raptors' home game, and if they can still win, then the pressure will come completely to the 76ers, and Rivers is once again facing a reversal of the lead.
Doncic 33+13! The Lone Ranger defeats the Jazz
In the first four games of the two-side series, although Doncic missed three of them, the Lone Rangers stubbornly pulled the score to a 2-2 draw, and in the last game, they were completed and lost the game when they led by 4 points in the last 30 seconds. And this game will be the battle of Tianwangshan in this series, and if the Lone Rangers at home can win the game, then they will win the match point of the series.
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides began in a tug-of-war, and with the Lone Rangers scoring consecutive points at the end of the quarter, they entered the second quarter with a 6-point lead. In the second quarter, although the Jazz once chased the point difference to between millimeters, the explosion of Brunson and others quickly helped the team to widen the point difference to double digits, and the Lone Rangers led by 16 points at halftime 52:36. Yi Bian fought again, and the Lone Rangers were still in hot form in the third quarter of the game, and Shunshi extended the lead to more than 20 points. The Jazz were still in no shape, watching the game fall into garbage time but unable to do anything, and in the end, the Lone Rangers won 102:77.
In this crucial battle of Tianwangshan, the Jazz were in no form, shooting only 37.7% from the field and only 10% from three-point range. Among them, Mitchell shot only 4 of 15 in this campaign, and only 7 of 0 three-pointers, and only got the lowest 9 points since the series. Bojan shot 0-of-9 from the field, including a staggering 2 points on 0-of-5 shooting from three-point range. With only two members of the Jazz scoring in double figures, Gobert's 17 points and Clarkson's 20 points from the bench, it was difficult to support them to win the game.
The Lone Rangers played well under Doncic's 33 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, double-double stats, and Brunson, who led the team forward in previous games, also scored 24 points. After winning the game, the Lone Rangers have rewritten the big score to 3:2, just one game left before qualifying.
