38 points defeat! The defending champion was eliminated in shame, the Knicks set a god-level record, the Nuggets bad news
1:28pm, 19 May 2025【Basketball】
The NBA playoff division semi-finals are particularly fierce. The Pacers and Timberwolves easily eliminate their opponents and secure a division final spot early. They will wait for the winners of the Knicks VS Celtics and Thunder VS Nuggets to stage a peak showdown between the East and West. After a short break, the NBA league arranged a game today, with the specific situation: the Celtics lost to the Knicks 81-119. At the same time, there are some new changes in the eastern and western pattern. Let’s take a look. The defending champion failed to create a miracle away and watched the Knicks advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. In the first four games of the series, the Knicks held the match point 3-1, and Tatum's Achilles tendon rupture was reimbursed in advance in the season, which can be said to have lost both his wife and his troops! The Celtics returned to home after returning to G5 and won a game strongly, but the Knicks did not dare to be careless after returning to home, so as not to have too many dreams! In this game, the two teams played hard to solve in the first quarter, and the Knicks had a slight advantage. The Celtics fell into scoring drought in the second quarter, and the Knicks seized the opportunity to build a 27-point lead at halftime. After the change of sides, the Celtics were defeated and the Knicks once established a huge lead of 41 points. In the end, the Knicks defeated their opponents 119-81 and successfully advanced 4-2!

The defending champion was out in shame, and no one could take his head off from Brown to White, from Holiday to Prichard, from Poeth to Horford. Especially Brown, who is the FMVP, did not play the role of leader after Tatum's injury. He left the court with 6 fouls, scored 20 points + 6 rebounds + 6 assists in inefficiently, and had 7 turnovers. After the game, Jaylen Brown bluntly said: Being eliminated is painful, especially losing to the Knicks in this way is like a death, and I have been taught that death is rebirth. White saw further and said bluntly: We will never go back to this season, and we will never go back to the same team as before. That’s right, it’s not scary to be eliminated. What’s scary is that Tatum is injured. Who can guarantee that the new boss of the Celtics will not dismantle the team?

Knicks united as one to overthrow the defending champion, advanced to the Eastern Conference finals with their heads held high, setting several god-level records. First, the Knicks established a 27-point lead in the first half, tying the team's record for halftime lead in the playoffs; second, 38 points are the biggest win difference in the Knicks' playoff history; third, this is the third time this year's playoff starter this year, four starters scored 20+ in the same game. For comparison, the team's history has only had such a feat in total; fourth, Hart got a triple-double data, which is the first triple-double in the Knicks in the past 55 years, and the previous one can be traced back to Fraser in the 1971-72 season; fifth, this is the first time the Knicks have reached the division final since entering the 21st century, and the last time can be traced back to 1999.

As of now, the Pacers, Timberwolves and Knicks have entered the division finals, which is gratifying, but it is related to their opponents being injured. The injury of the Bucks' Mitchell & Garland, the Warriors' Curry and the Celtics' Tatum have greatly reduced the team's combat effectiveness! This is the NBA, the season is long, health is king, and the remaining ones are king! The second round is only left with the Thunder VS Nuggets, and they will usher in a tiebreak battle, and bad news comes from the Nuggets! According to the NBA famous reporter Shams, Gordon suffered a left hamstring strain and the G7 was suspected of playing. The Nuggets themselves are short of manpower, and the Nuggets are the Nuggets' lucky general and forward thigh. Once he is unable to play or his health is not in his best condition, the Thunder team with many soldiers and widespread generals is likely to meet the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
