After losing the first two games on the road , the Milwaukee Bucks get a critical 83-86 win over the Brooklyn Nets in Milwaukee, avoiding the historically unsurmountable 3-0 trap. A very low scoring game with a defense-based approach. "Defense first," Bucks’ Jrue Holiday said. "Defense wins games, and it wins championships. I think to be able to get a stop even down with two seconds left means a lot. Them scoring 83 points, I feel like for us that's the type of defense we want to play.” Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton score 79% of the Bucks’ points: The highest by any duo in the history of NBA playoffs. "A win is a win" Antetokounmpo said. " It doesn't matter if you win by 30, it doesn't matter if you win by 1." Durant and Irving combined for 52 points and 16 rebounds: Not bad, but not enough. "We didn't make shots, sometimes that's the name of the game. Both teams played incredible defense. Both teams played extremely hard. Low turnover game" Durant said. "We need a couple more shots and we're good." Game 4 is on Sunday in Milwaukee.
La tripla doppia di Harden trascina i Brooklyn Nets alla vittoria sui Boston Celtics in gara 5. Brooklyn avanza alle semifinali di conference. 83 punti per i Big 3 (Harden 34, Durant 24, Irving 25)
With a win in game 5 at Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Nets eliminate the Boston Celtics and clinch a spot in the conference semi-finals. The Big 3 combined for 83 points in a 123-109 victory that looked like an easy cruise. James Harden led the Nets with 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists. Irving had 25 points and Durant 24. Brooklyn is ready to face Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. "How do you think we did?" Harden joked after the game and went on talking about how great it is to finally play with KD and Kyrie. "That's what we had been missing the whole season. We weren't even worried about the playoffs. We were just having fun playing together" he explained. Durant confirmed it is "fun to play with two guys who can pretty much do anything on a basketball court". Kyrie Irving is appreciating the special moment. "We don't want to take any of this time for granted. We know this doesn't happen too often in our culture, in our history to have 3 of the best scorers to ever play the game on one team".
An incredible Jayson Tatum scored 50 points in game 3 against the Brooklyn Nets, leading the Celtics back into the series with a 125-119 victory. Boston pushed past a cold start in the game and avoided falling into a 3-0 trap against the favored Nets, making it a 2-1 series. Game 4 is on Sunday evening (7P.M. on TNT) at Boston’s TD Garden and Tatum is looking forward to it. “Oh man, I can’t wait. It’s been a while since we had full capacity, I miss those guys, I’m sure they miss watching us play in person,” he said enthusiastic right after the game. The 23-year and 86-day-old All Star became the third youngest player in NBA history to score 50 points in a playoff game, behind Hall of Famers Rick Barry (23 years, 21 days) and Michael Jordan (23 years, 62 days). Tatum already made 50 points in the opening round of the play in tournament against the Wizards less than 10 days ago. After struggling on the offensive end in the two games in Brooklyn, the 6’8’’ forward exploded in the first home game of the series. “I am just trying to be better. I had a tough shooting night on game 1, didn’t play much in game 2 as I was poked in the eye,” he explained. “I am trying to redeem myself, I’m trying to do anything to win” he explained. Tatum became the sixth player in Celtics’ history to drop 50 points in a playoff game, just four points shy of John Havlicek’s franchise record. After losing the first two games against Brooklyn by double digits, Boston trailed by 15 points early in the first quarter, before getting back into the game and regaining control. The Celtics let by as many as 17 in the third quarter. Kyrie Irving was contained to 16 points, while James Harden led the Nets with 41 points and 10 assists. Kevin Durant scored 39 points. Brooklyn came back, but was kept at arm’s length. Un incredibile Jayson Tatum trascina i Boston Celtics alla vittoria sui Brooklyn Nets in gara 3 dei playoff, portando la serie sul 2-1. A 23 anni e 86 giorni, Tatum è il terzo più giovane della storia della NBA a segnare 50 punti ai playoff. Prima di lui Rick Barry (23 anni e 21 giorni) e Michael Jordan (23 anni e 62 giorni). Tatum aveva già realizzato 50 punti nei play in contro i Wizards dieci giorni fa. I Celtics evitano di cadere nella trappola del 3-0 assicurandosi una vittoria nella prima partita in casa, aiutati anche dal calore dei fan.
I Big 3 dei Nets parlano della grande serata del loro cecchino Joe Harris, che ha trascinato la squadra alla vittoria contro i Boston Celtics nel primo round dei playoff NBA. Kevin Durant: "Quando Joe è così in forma trascina tutta la squadra'. "È il sogno di un tiratore, specialmente con questo gruppo" commenta Joe Harris sul fatto che tutti lo cercassero per passargli la palla. Kyrie Irving: "A inizio partita era evidente che alcuni di noi sarebbero rimasti smarcati. È capitato a Joe diverse volte nei primi minuti. Grande partita per Joe e per tutti noi". James Harden: "Joe aveva un'ottima mano stasera e tutti non ne eravamo al corrente [...] siamo concentrati. Faremo tutto il possibile per arrivare alla vittoria"
