Here are all the results of the night of April 25 of the 2021/22 NBA playoffs. Doncic takes the 3-2 for the Mavs, Toronto shortens again
NBA playoff night that gives us three good matches and the first verdict. In fact, Boston also beats Brooklyn in Game 4 and closes the series with a clear 4-0. A series dominated from all points of view by the Celtics who have harnessed the offensive weapons of the Nets. A heavy sweep, perhaps the biggest ever, for Brooklyn who was one of the contenders for the final victory. The leprechauns also manage in the 48 minutes played tonight, they know how to suffer, they go ahead by 15 at the end of the third quarter and in the final it is resolved by Jaylen Brown and Horford. Boston now awaits the end of the series between Milwaukee and Chicago (Bucks ahead 3-1) to find out who they will face in the semifinals.
Jayson Tatum is the leader of the Celtics with 29 points and 5 assists, Jaylen Brown very well with 22 and 8 rebounds. Marcus Smart plays a great game of 20 points and 11 assists, 14 and 3 blocks for Grant Williams, 13 and 6 rebounds for Horford. Kevin Durant ends his playoffs with 39 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists but that’s not enough. Seth Curry places 23 points, 20-5-5 for an undertone Irving. Claxton is decent with 13 points and 6 rebounds, 10 and 8 rebounds for Dragic.
Second loss in a row for Philadelphia against Toronto and now the series sees the 76ers ahead only 3-2. The Canadians took Race 5 with relative ease by exploiting Joel Embiid’s well-known physical problems and now they believe in a miracle. The Raptors start off strong and take the reins of the match that they will never leave. From the second quarter onwards Phila ends up under the double figure of disadvantage that holds up for very large stretches. The Sixers try it with pride in the fourth period but Toronto’s exploit in the final seals the victory.
Great collective victory of the Canadians with Pascal Siakam who is the frontman with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Precious Achiuwa placed 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, 16 and 5 rebounds for Anunoby. Trent Jr closes with 16 points, Barnes does well with 12, 8 rebounds and 3 steals. Joel Embiid despite the problems is the best of him with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Tobias Harris tries with 16 points and 7 rebounds, 15 and 7 assists for a not too fit Harden. Danny Green is accurate with 14 points, not bad Maxey.
Dallas wins Game 5 at home over Utah and takes 3-2 in the series. Fundamental success of the Texans in the pivotal game and now it will be enough to win a game to go to the semifinals. The match remains balanced for just over a quarter, then the Mavs avalanche is unleashed. The Jazz try to contain it for a while but in the second half they give up and concentrate already for race 6 in Salt Lake City.
Luka Doncic is extraordinary with 33 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists as the absolute MVP of the match. Brunson accompanies him with 24 points and 5 rebounds, Finney-Smith also does well with 13 and 5 rebounds. Bullock makes a careful, yet imprecise Dinwiddie contest. Jordan Clarkson scores 20 points and is the best of the Jazz. Gobert makes an honest race of 17 points and 11 rebounds then the massacre: Mitchell puts in 9 points with 4/15, 0/9 even for Bogdanovic.
