On April 29, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the Lakers won one game at home yesterday to avoid being swept, so now many people are concerned about whether the Suns can avoid being swept out, and whether the Clippers can win without Leonard is also in the spotlight. At one o'clock in the morning, the 76ers played at home against the Knicks, and the 76ers had a chance to win the game in this game, but in the fourth quarter of the game, Embiidra crotched, but Brunson made a big show in this game, and finally Brunson scored 47 points to lead the team to win, and now the 76ers are also 1-3 behind the Knicks, but after the game, Embiid not only did not take the initiative, but now Embiid began to make excuses.
Embiid said after the game: "We're not under pressure, we're the No. 7 seed, we're 3-1, we've got a lot of injuries. I don't know why we're under pressure, so I think we should go and play, play our best basketball, win one game at a time, go home, win one more game, and then go to the tiebreaker. Although the current 76ers have not been eliminated from the game, Embiid's remarks are to make excuses for the team, the 76ers are at a disadvantage, and in Embiid's opinion, the 76ers are affected by injuries, so Embiid does not seem to have given up the game, but if the 76ers are eliminated from the game, Embiid will take it for granted. At 3:30, the Clippers played away against the Mavericks, the Clippers were missing Leonard, but the Clippers once led by 31 points in the game, although they were overtaken by the Mavericks, but George and Harden helped the team stabilize the situation, and finally the Clippers won to tie the score at 2-2.
It can be said that the Clippers really have to thank Harden for winning, after all, Harden's state has been excellent since the start of the playoffs, Harden helped the team win in the G1 game, and then Leonard returned to Harden, the ball was affected but still had a good performance, and in the G4 game Harden also carried the team, and broke out at the last moment of the fourth quarter to help the Clippers win the game, so the Clippers have the current situation really thanks to Harden. At 7 o'clock, the Pacers hosted the Bucks, the Bucks were missing Lillard and Brother Alphabet, and Portis was ejected in the first quarter, but in this situation the Bucks still played tenacity, but unfortunately the Bucks still collapsed in the fourth quarter of the game, and finally the Pacers won and led the Bucks 3-1.
Although the Bucks lost the game, but judging from the game scene, the Bucks still have the strength to fight, if the Bucks can welcome back Lillard or Brother Alphabet in the next game, then the Bucks will still have to play with the Pacers in this round of the series. At 9:20, the Suns faced the Timberwolves at home, and the Suns definitely wanted to avoid being swept out by the Timberwolves in this game, so the Suns also played quite hard in this game, and relied on the excellent play of Booker and Durant, and the Suns were able to play very close to the Timberwolves in the second half, but unfortunately at the end of the fourth quarter of the game, the Suns began to slowly collapse, Beal's performance in the game was a disaster, the defensive end was blown up by Edwards, and the offensive end of Bill was even worse, not to mention continuous mistakes at critical moments, Beal's performance also made the Suns collapse directly, and finally the Suns were swept out by the Timberwolves 4-0。
It should be said that before the playoffs officially began, no one believed that the Timberwolves could advance to the next round of the playoffs, and no one would even believe that the Suns would be swept out, after all, the Suns played extremely well against the Timberwolves in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the Timberwolves completely suppressed the Suns, and the Suns really suffered too much on the inside. Shams wrote about the Suns' season, with sources saying that Durant has never been happy or uncomfortable with his offensive role alongside Booker Beale this season. According to sources, Durant has been unhappy with the team's offense, feeling that he has been assigned to the corner too often and has not been designed to play to his strengths with the ball. Obviously, Durant is very dissatisfied with the Suns' lineup, and the Suns' lineup has obvious flaws, so it's really hard to say where the Suns will go next, after all, Durant is already starting to be dissatisfied here.
