On May 24th, Beijing time, the NBA East Final G2 ended, and finally the Celtics beat the Pacers, and the current playoff situation can be simply summarized as: the NBA miracle was born, Watts responded to Irving again, and the probability of the Mavericks winning G2 was released.

The Green Army defeated the Pacers 126-110, there was basically no suspense in the process, the Pacers only led by 2 points in the first quarter, and the Green Army directly overtook in the second quarter with a 17-0 offensive momentum, and the Green Army continued to expand the point difference in the third quarter, and Haliburton withdrew from the game early in the final quarter because of a left hamstring injury, and the Pacers were unable to launch a counterattack, and the Green Army finally won. In terms of statistics, Jaylen Brown scored 40 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers, Tatum 23 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 turnovers, White 23 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, Holiday 15 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, and Horford 6 points and 10 rebounds. On the Pacers' side, Siakam scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Haliburton had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.

After this battle, the score of the two sides came to 2-0, although G3 will move to the Pacers' home court, but the series is basically out of suspense, first of all, Porzingis G3 has a very high probability of returning, and the complete Green Army will not be able to give the Pacers a chance. Secondly, Haliburton retired with an injury (left hamstring injury) at the end of the day, and he had a similar injury in the regular season, when Haliburton missed 10 games, so it is unknown whether he can play in G3, and in summary, the Green Army can be regarded as locked in the finals. In addition, Jaylen Brown also created an NBA miracle in this game, he has scored 40+ in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second time, and the 40+ games in the Eastern Conference Finals are second only to James (8 times) and Jordan (6 times).

Tomorrow's game arrangement, the Timberwolves will sit at home and continue to face the Mavericks, and the American media also updated the G2 winning rate, the results show that the Timberwolves are 52.3%, and the Mavericks are 47.7%, which is relatively close overall, and the Timberwolves are slightly higher. It is certain that G2 is very crucial, if the Timberwolves lose again, then after G3 and G4 move to Dallas, the Mavericks will not be able to give the Timberwolves a chance, or even a direct sweep, if the Timberwolves win, then the series will continue to be full of suspense. Looking back at G1, the Timberwolves exposed a lot of problems, such as Edwards falling into a slump after being caught in the flank, and Towns and Gobert not being tough enough.

Comparison of interior strength, the Timberwolves can theoretically crush the Mavericks, but G1 They did not play this advantage, but the Mavericks played very well inside, Gobert and Towns have eaten a lot of hats, and the rebounds are also the Mavericks leading the Timberwolves, looking forward to G2, if the Timberwolves want to win, they must give full play to the inside advantage, Downs needs to increase aggression under the basket and shoot less three-pointers, Watts needs to learn how to get rid of the bag, and on the defensive end, Doncic and Irving must lock one.

It should be noted that Edwards talked about Irving again in an interview today, he said: "I know Irving is one of the top scorers, and our matchup will continue," It can be seen that Edwards is not so crazy compared to before, but he also has a momentum that does not admit defeat, and looks forward to the next confrontation between the two.

Finally, O'Neal reposted the top 10 scorers in history on social media, ranking in order: Jordan, Kobe, James, Durant, Harden, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Iverson, O'Neal himself, and Anthony, a total of 3 active players are on the list, namely James, Durant and Harden, do you agree with the ranking results given by O'Neal?
