Fifth night of Playoffs, already, and some opposing forces assert themselves in the East. We’re talking about the Celtics, dominating against Brooklyn, we’re also talking about the Sixers, who almost sent the Raptors on vacation last night. For the Bucks it’s more complicated, and we explain all this in detail just below.
# The results of the night
# What you must remember
- Under the bronca of a fiery Scotiabank Arena, Joel Embiid crucified the Raptors at the almost buzzer of overtime.
- A second XXL period for the Cameroonian interior which ends the game with 33 points and 13 rebounds at 60% shooting including 3/8 from the parking lot.
- Even if author of 20 points, Precious Achiuwa is at this precise moment locked in his room, his head under the pillow.
- Pascal Siakam meanwhile collected the praline of the evening, escalated by his Cameroonian compatriot.
- Note the valuable performance of James Harden, 19 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists at 54% shooting.
- The Bearded is starting to find its groove in Philly, and that’s really bad news for the entire Eastern Conference.
- Very big victory for the Celtics who bring the series to 2-0: the Nets are almost already back to the wall.
- A success above all collective, with seven players with more than ten points!
- Very small game from Kyrie Irving (4/13 shooting), well muzzled by the new Defender of the Year, Marcus Smart.
- Same topo for Kevin Durant and his… 4/17 in shooting. This series is for Slim Reaper a little hell.
- The Bulls have robbed the Fiserv Forum: a huge blow from Billy Donovan’s men who recover the advantage of the field!
- The man of the evening? DeMar DeRozan, author of 41 points at 52% shooting, whose promise was – after Game 1 – to “never withdraw from 6/25. »
- Big night also for Niko Vucevic and his double-double of master scrap (24 points and 13 rebounds at 56% shooting including 4/8 from the parking lot).
- Despite 33 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists – as well as supported by a nice Brook Lopez – Giannis Antetokounmpo remained powerless.
- Khris Middleton has unfortunately sprained his knee: we are waiting for the duration of unavailability, but it really does not smell good.

9-0 Brooklyn, temps mort Boston.
9 points, all scored by Bruce Brown.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 20, 2022
“Our main adjustment will be turning Bruce Brown into Allen Iverson” – Steve Nash, probably.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 20, 2022
Bruce Brown who was born on August 15, 1996, where?
No, not Garges-lès-Gonesse.
Boston, Massachusetts.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 20, 2022
As the umpires review the foul, the Boston crowd alternates in their chants:
« FUCK KYRIE »
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 20, 2022
Jayson Tatum : https://t.co/hgIe1YdpKp
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 20, 2022
A Nets staff member apparently told Kyrie he could break his fast.
Passage through the locker room certainly to drink and eat, no injury or other problem whatsoever.

Dragic walks around. Really Boston is not making the usual efforts, you add to that Jayson Tatum who plays like Kyle Kuzma and it’s quickly a mess in Boston.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
Goran Dragic and Bruce Brown (27 points) have almost as many points as Boston’s major five (28).
I repeat.

JAYSON TATUM’S FIRST BASKET
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
A real miracle for Boston to be led by only 10 points having proposed this first half.
Al Horford, Marcus Smart and Grant Williams responded.
Tatum and Brown need to wake up, the little run at the end of the half is promising.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
“FUCK EMBIID” chant Toronto fans at home.

Imagine we have another shot at the buzzer.
In jrigole.
Imagine anyway.

56-46 Raptors at Toronto, halftime.
The Sixers have FOURTEEN (14) strays, credit to the Canadian defense but a lot of clumsiness, Joel and Harden have 7 strays alone.
8/16 three-pointers for the Raptors, Siakam and Anunoby feast.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
I hope KD knows some good restaurants around because he can buy dinner for Dragic, Brown and Curry if Brooklyn wins. What a job from the trio.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
The five of the Nets is incredible lol Nash he sends you Claxton in pivot and around it is Alvin and the Chipmunks: Kyrie, Dragic, Seth and Patty Mills.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
CELTICS LEAD
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
But since when KD is Marvin Bagley there?!?!?!

JAYLEN BROWN IS WAKE UP ????????????

Sean Marks is going to have to do a big big job this summer to better surround Bruce Brown.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
The best winger this early in the series on both sides of the pitch is Jayson Tatum and that’s NOT EVEN a discussion.

0/10 shooting for KD in this second half.

Kevin Durant vs Boston (2 matchs).
GAME 1 :
9/24 shooting
1/5 three point
6 lost balloons
23 pointsGAME 2 :
4/17 shooting
1/2 to three points
6 lost balloons
27 pointsHe COMPLETELY misses his start to the series, Boston suffocates him as we have rarely seen with KD.

Grant Williams tonight:
6/6 on free throws

Terrible end of quarter time for the Bulls, while the momentum was perfect there is Giannis who FASTED a lead based on counter – dunk – counter – throws…
… and Middleton punctuates his big third quarter with a three plus foul.
Crazy atmosphere in Milwaukee.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
35 points at 14/23 shooting.

41 POINTS FOR DEROZAN WHO PUT THE LID ON THE BUCKS!! pic.twitter.com/nUht3iLVKj
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
So it makes sense that after being unable to beat elite teams in the regular season, the Bulls will win in MILWAUKEE and reclaim home-court advantage by being clutch, disciplined, and 180 degrees the opposite of what we saw in early April.
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) April 21, 2022
DeRozan Sunday night: “It’s dead, I won’t reshoot at 6/25”
Tonight ?
41 points (career playoff high)
7 rebounds
4 passes
16/31 shooting
9/9 in throws
ClutchissimeBulls victory in Milwaukee.

It is on this action that Khris Middleton is injured…
