On May 12, Beijing time, the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals Celtics defeated the Cavaliers away, and the total score was 2-1 again. In this game, Tatum and Brown are the key to the Celtics to conquer the road. The game didn't end, and Cavaliers fans left the game early. And the lone hero Mitchell left the game lonely after the game.
In this game, Tatum shot 11-of-25 from the field and 9-of-9 from the free-throw line to finish with 33 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. In the first quarter of the game, Tatum was full of firepower, hitting 2 three-pointers in a single quarter and scoring 12 points. At halftime, Tatum had scored 18 points. In addition to the three points, Tatum has increased the options for breakouts, which makes his offense more three-dimensional. By the end of the third quarter, Tatum had scored 27 points, and the Celtics had a 15-point lead.
Brown was also very efficient in this game, finishing with 28 points and nine rebounds on 13-of-17 shooting. Unlike Tatum, Brown's offensive options in this game were more of a breakout and counterattack, and although he made 2 of 3 three-pointers, he didn't shoot as crazy as he did in the last game. After being chased to single digits in the final quarter, Tatum and Brown scored back-to-back points to help the Celtics stabilize the situation. Shuangtanhua is still the anchor of this team.
Mitchell once again became a lone hero, scoring 33 points and 6 rebounds on 12-of-22 shooting and 7-of-12 three-pointers in the game. In the first quarter of the game, Mitchell was full of firepower, making three three-pointers in a single quarter. In the second quarter, he hit three more three-pointers and scored 23 points on six three-pointers in the half. In the second half, Mitchell still performed well, and finally fixed the score at 33 points. But the two fists were hard to beat the four hands, Tatum and Brown shined brightly, and the Cavaliers finally lost at home.
In addition to Mitchell, Okoro was 1 of 7 and Garland made 1 of 6 three-pointers, so you can imagine Mitchell's difficulty. Mitchell has scored at least 28 points in six straight games, and after leaving the Jazz, he once again played a lone hero in the playoffs. But if it continues to be unsupported, the outlook for the Knights will be very bleak.
