The Celtics were reversed by 20 points again, SGA caused a 43-point tragedy, the Warriors bad news, and the NBA s huge changes

The NBA playoff division semi-finals were particularly fierce, with the Nuggets, Warriors, Pacers and Knicks winning away games one after another, creating history. After a short break, the league arranged two more matches today, with the specific situation: the Knicks narrowly defeated the Celtics 91-90, and the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 106-149. In this way, there are some new changes in the eastern and western pattern. Let’s take a look.

The Celtics were reversed by 20 points again

Knicks vs. Celtics Series G1. The two teams won the victory and lost until overtime. The Celtics lost a good game while leading 20 points. Bridges stole Brown at the decisive moment, and the Knicks completed a shocking reversal. In this game, the Celtics attacked heavily and established a 20-point lead with one move. However, the Knicks' counterattack was late, and they chased the gap to 12 points before the final quarter. The Celtics once again fell into scoring drought in the final quarter, making only 5 of 24 shots in a single quarter and 2 of 11 three-pointers. Bridges, Brunson, Towns and others took turns to take over the game at critical moments. Bridges once again intercepted Tatum in the air at the decisive moment! In the end, the Celtics lost to the Knicks 90-91, and the series score reached 0-2. The Celtics were reversed by 20 points, setting a shameful record. According to statistics, the Celtics became the first team in NBA history to be reversed for 20 points in two consecutive games! The Celtics were humiliated by the Knicks, and the key was to over-believe in their three-pointers. As the team with the first in the league in the regular season three-point shooting and hitting numbers, the Celtics made 100 crazy shots outside the three-point line in these two games, hitting only 25, with a shooting percentage of only 25%. Especially at the decisive moment, the Celtics bet on three-pointers in addition to gambled on three-pointers, while the Knicks had the key players of the year, Brunson and Thibodeau proudly started five tigers. Bridges, Anunobi and others were able to win the double-Tanhua alive! In NBA history, there have been 35 home games behind 0-2, and the probability of home team promotion is only 85.7%. I can only wish the Celtics good luck and hope that they will be brave after being ashamed.

SGA caused a 43-point tragedy, and the league's first record was scored

The Thunder were beaten by Gordon in G1, losing their home advantage. In the G2 series, the Thunder team beat the Nuggets with their lives, and scored 45 points in the first quarter, establishing a huge lead of 24 points. In the second quarter, the two teams fought wildly, and the Thunder won 42-35, with the gap reaching 30+. After the change of sides, the Thunder still did not stop. They won 17 points in a single quarter, widening the gap to 49 points in one fell swoop, losing suspense in advance! In the end, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 149-106, rewriting the series score to 1-1. The Thunder team created a 43-point tragedy, and SGA was the initiator. In this game, SGA played for 30 minutes, made 11 of 13 shots (1 of 2 three-pointers), 11 of 11 free throws, scoring 34 points + 4 rebounds + 8 assists with a luxurious data, with a plus-minus value of up to +51 on the court. According to statistics, Alexander broke the NBA player's single-game plus or negative value record (+46) held by Bain, James and Butler. At the same time, the Thunder have scored several NBA records. According to statistics, the Thunder scored 87 points in the first half, setting a record high in the NBA playoffs; the Thunder scored 124 points in the third quarter, tying the historical record of the playoffs in three quarters; the Thunder scored 149 points in the whole game, breaking the team's history record. At the same time, 43 points is the third largest net victory in the playoffs this year, second only to the Cavaliers' 55-point victory over the Heat and the Thunder's 51-point victory over the Grizzlies. The Thunder has also become the first team in NBA history to win two 40+ wins in a single playoff! The Warriors were bad news, Curry was absent from G2-G4

The Warriors led the Timberwolves 1-0, but Curry's injury retreat was a huge variable. Just today, bad news came from the Warriors! According to official news from the Warriors, Curry will be out of the first-degree strain of his left hamstring at least one week. According to the official NBA schedule, this means that Curry will at least miss the Warriors VS Timberwolves series G2, G3 and G4. NBA sports medicine experts pointed out incisively: Calculated based on the average time of first-degree hamstring strain, Curry must return in the series G6 and G7 as soon as possible. But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the Warriors can drag the series to G6 and G7 without Curry. Warriors coach Cole made it clear when talking about Curry's injury: Injuries are part of the game, we can only face and adapt. Curry is like Duncan of the Spurs or Jordan of Chicago. We all have to fight for Curry next!

Cavaliers have a 0-2 life hanging on the line, and the NBA has a huge change

In addition to the defending champion Celtics falling behind 0-2, the Eastern Conference overlord Cavaliers also fell behind the Pacers 0-2 at home, and their lives hanging on the line! Like the Celtics, the Cavaliers' three-pointers were completely ineffective in the second round, with only 20 of 77 shots in two games, with a shooting percentage of only 25.9%. What's even more difficult is that Cavaliers Garland, Mobley Jr. and Hunter are all injured! In the words of Dream Chasing Green, if the Knights cannot recover their health, they may be eliminated by the Pacers! From the Celtics 0-2 behind to the Cavaliers 0-2 behind, the NBA championship situation is ushering in a huge change. Once the Celtics cannot stop the decline in time, their championship dream may be shattered early, and the Western Conference team will reap profits. Whoever can break out of the West will have a high probability of winning the championship! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
