Here are all the results from the night of June 16 of the 2020/21 NBA playoffs. Atlanta recovers from – 26 and wins at Philly, George leads the Clippers
Two extraordinary races of playoff NBA they enlivened the Italian night with two crucial away victories. The Atlanta Hawks resoundingly rallied the Philadelphia 76ers and took the lead in the series 3-2. Resounding victory for the Georgia franchise that seems doomed in the third quarter but comeback 26 points behind. Terrible mockery for the Sixers who were quietly holding the challenge and seeing it slip away in the last minute.
In fact, Philly starts well immediately and slowly his advantage grows up to +22 at the interval. The beginning of the third quarter is along the same lines so much so that the maximum advantage is reached but Phila relaxes. Atlanta first shortens the gap below 20 points in the final of the third quarter and then in the last part the comeback which takes shape a 1:26 from the end with i three free by Trae Young. The partial of 40-19 is ruthless: Philly pulled the plug, Hawks eager for an unexpected result.
Bring young confirms himself at very high levels and closes again today with 39 points, 7 assists and 3 steals. Excellent proof for John Collins with 19 points and 11 rebounds, Lou Williams returns to its former glory with 15 points off the bench. Important race for Danilo Gallinari who signs 16 points, 8 rebounds and an assist giving great support to the team. In the Sixers there are only two: Joel Embiid places the usual performance of 37 points and 13 rebounds. Seth Curry looks like his brother, puts 7 triples and finishes with 36 points and 7 rebounds. Well Ben Simmons con 9 assist, horrible evening for Harris and the bench.
I Los Angeles Clippers battono gli Utah Jazz a Salt Lake City and take the advantage in the series now 3-2 for the losangelini. Kawhi Leonard’s serious injury made one think of a meltdown for the Clippers instead they have found new life and an unexpected leader. In fact, Paul George has loaded all the responsibilities on his shoulders and kicked out a piece of evidence from “George of the Pacers”. The Jazz, on the other hand, seem turned off after going 2-0 in the series and are now in serious danger of a heavy elimination. The race is basically balanced: after a good part of the Los Angeles people, Utah takes it in hand the challenge but never force. This allows the Clippers to bite the game in the second half and manage it until the final siren. Now you return to LA with the match point for Lue’s team, win or go home for Jazz.
Paul George extraordinary with 37 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists as a true leader. Morris sniper with 25 points, very good Reggie Jackson with 22, fundamental Mann with 13. Batum takes 7 rebounds and steals 4 balls, not the bench well. Bogdan Bogdanovic is the best scorer of the Jazz with 32 points, not for the evening Mitchell which still places 21 points.
