On Thursday, May 16, Beijing time, there were two G5 games in the NBA playoffs, the Celtics PK the Cavaliers at home, and Green Kai was only one win away from advancing with match points; The Thunder PK Mavericks at home, the two sides drew 2-2, and G5 is the battle of Tianwang Mountain!
Green Kai is looking to advance at home
The first game is 7:00, Celtics vs Cavaliers
Green Kai's strength is above the Cavaliers, and he has won 3 of the last 4 games, completed two consecutive kills on the road, and has already got the match point in advance, and if he can win tomorrow's game, he can advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Porzingis continues to miss G5 due to injury, and players such as Otter Rabbit and Brown continue to take the lead. Otter Rabbit has gotten 30+10 data in the past two games, and it feels warmer; Brown scored more than 27 points in two consecutive games, and the stable play of the twin stars was the guarantee for Green Kai to win. White no longer has a magical touch, and his shooting percentage has plummeted in the last three games, shooting 3 of 11, 4 of 13, and 1 of 6, and tomorrow's home game will see if he can find his touch.
The Cavaliers are in trouble with injuries
The Cavaliers' fate hangs by a thread, there is no way out, and tomorrow's away trip is mainly to fight. However, the Cavaliers are currently in injury trouble, Mitchell, Allen, and LeVert are all doubtful, of which Allen has missed 7 consecutive games, and Mitchell did not play in the last game. Mitchell is the Cavaliers' leading scorer, averaging 29.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
The Lone Ranger beat Tianwang Mountain in two consecutive rounds
At 9:30 in the second game, Thunder VS Mavericks
The Mavericks' round is similar to the first-round series against the Clippers, they both lost G1 and G4, and they have to play the Kings Mountain battle in two consecutive rounds. In the last G4, the Mavericks had a chance to win, and they once led by 14 points, but a bad free throw penalized them for 12 of 23 free throws, and Irving and Doncic fell into a poor hand again, Irving only scored 9 points on 4-of-11 shooting, and Doncic shot 6-of-20, shooting only 30%. In tomorrow's battle against Kings Mountain, if the Mavericks want to win away from home, Irving and Doncic must break out, and at the same time, Pj-Washington, Jones, Hardaway, Lively, etc. must become surprise soldiers.
The Thunder defend their home court
The Thunder's last equalizer was a good morale boost, and tomorrow's game will have to defend their home court, and Alexander, Williams, Holmgren, and Dort will have to continue their feelings.
