In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs, the Celtics face the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. At the moment, Celtic are 3-1 on aggregate and this game will be crucial for them, a match point game. On the Cavaliers' side, Mitchell continued to miss due to injury, and in the first quarter of the game, the two sides went back and forth, and the final score was fixed at 28-28 and it was a tie.
Entering the first half, the Celtics' core players Tatum and Jaylen Brown performed decently, although the scoring was not high, but the shooting percentage was acceptable. It is worth mentioning that Derrick White was in excellent form today and played well. In the last game, White was sluggish, hitting just 1 of 6 shots and scoring just 5 points. But today he completely got rid of the previous decline, scoring 15 points in the half, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, showing a strong desire to score and efficient scoring ability. It seems that White will have another outburst.
At the beginning of the game, the Celtics rained down on three points, and Jaylen Brown, Horford and White hit three-pointers one after another.
Double Exploration Flower Connection! In this ball, Garland's service error was stolen by Horford and Brown scored, and Brown scored Tatum in the front court to score a dragon dunk.
In the first half, the two sides played inseparable. Despite the excellent performances of the duo and White, the Cavaliers have shown resilience without a core player. The Cavaliers' role players responded in a timely manner, which kept the score from being completely untennified. At halftime, the Celtics led 58-52. However, the lack of Mitchell's Cavaliers is already at the end of the crossbow, I believe that after the double tanhua in the second half, the Celtics are bound to win, sure enough, back in the second half, the double tanhua led the team to play an 11-0 offensive wave to establish a double-digit lead in one fell swoop, Mobley Jr. and Morris Jr. continued to chase points in the final quarter, but White and Tatum each threw three points in a strong response and opened the score again, and then the Green Army firmly maintained a lead of about 10 points, and finally the Celtics beat the Cavaliers, with a total score of 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
