NBA playoff analysis: Cavaliers fight against each other, Nuggets can t beat the Thunder at home
3:54pm, 14 May 2025【Basketball】
Cavs VS Pacers
Haliburton is really different from the playoffs. His performance in the regular season has declined compared to last season. When everyone thought that this big defender was just a flash in the pan, in the playoffs, Halliburton won respect with his outstanding personal performance. The Pacers once fell behind by 20 points, and once again staged a good show of turnaround. At the last moment, Halliburton staged a classic "1+3" show, accurately defeating the Cavaliers, and leading his opponent with a big score of 2:0 in the series.
Mitchell had already given all his money in the last game, making 15 of 30 shots, hitting the highest 48 points in the game. Unfortunately, the team's three main players were absent. The absence of the backcourt engine Garland caused Mitchell to encounter crazy double-team at the last moment of the game. Not to mention Mobley, as DPOY this season, his absence greatly reduced the Cavaliers' inside offense and defense level. Hunter's absence makes the Cavaliers' bench no longer at the top level in the league. It is really surprising that the Cavaliers, who are suffering from serious injuries, lose two home games in a row.
Tomorrow the Pacers will return to home court. With a 2:0 lead, the Pacers have huge psychological advantages and the players are more relaxed, while the Cavaliers are under pressure. If the three cores are still absent tomorrow, the Cavaliers will be forced into a desperate situation. Although Jerome is the top player in the ball game, his defensive footsteps are slow. Under the defensive intensity of the playoffs, it is not as powerful as the regular season. To be honest, the Pacers' defensive level is seriously underestimated, and tomorrow there is no way to retreat.
Player injury problem report:
Cavaliers: Garland, Hunter, Mobley are doubtful in the game
Pacers: Jackson missed
Planets: The game prediction: The Cavaliers win, the total score is 231.5
Thunder VS Nuggets
As the prediction of the previous game said, although the Thunder lost the first game, the room for adjustment is still very large. The Thunder opened fire in the first quarter. At the end of the half, the Thunder scored 87 points, which seemed out of place with the high intensity and low scores of this season's playoffs. At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder had entered the final quarter with a huge advantage of 48 points and finally defeated the Nuggets easily.
The Nuggets were completely stunned by the Thunder in the second game. The team encountered the Thunder's strong defense as soon as they came up. The continuous mistakes allowed the Thunder to get too many opportunities to convert and attack. At the end of the half, the Thunder entered the second half with a huge score difference. In this game, the Thunder no longer gave the Nuggets the wrong opportunity and directly beat the Nuggets with one move.
The second match between the two teams allowed fans to see the true strength of the Thunder. Although the Nuggets are very strong, they obviously have a physical disadvantage after seven games in the first round with the Clippers. Although Gordon narrowly passed the final score in the first game, the Thunder, who has not played for many days, is a little unfamiliar, but the advantage is that they are full of physical fitness and young. This round of series will not end early. The Nuggets will need to adjust their feel when they return to the Colorado Plateau tomorrow, because the Thunder's fault tolerance rate for the Nuggets is not high.
Player injury problem report:
Thunder: Tobic absent
Nuggets: Holmes absent
Predict: The Thunder wins, the total score is 233.5
