After a crazy last minute of play, the Bucks won last night in Boston and took the lead 3-2 in their conference semi-final. Memphis has largely beaten Golden State and is back in contact, still leading 3-2 in the series.
It’s a totally crazy scenario that took place last night on the floor of the TD Garden in Boston, where the Celtics’ fifth game of the series against the Bucks was being played. After a tight 1st quarter, the C’s will take the advantage and control the game against their public, heading for a relatively easy victory. But the experience of the reigning champions and their desire to win will push Giannis Antetokoumpo’s teammates not to let go, and rightly so. Thanks to the new incredible performance of the Greek (40 points, 11 rebounds) as well as a decisive Jrue Holiday in the last moments of the match, Milwaukee, who were up to 12 points behind, will finally regain the advantage at 10 seconds from the end of the match, to finally win 110 to 107. An unexpected result given the scenario and which places Milwaukee in a very good position to find the conference final, since a home victory in the next game will be enough. But the surprises are probably not over…

Golden State crushed in Memphis
The Warriors make the suspense last. If they could validate their ticket tonight for a new Western Conference final, Stephen Curry’s teammates were crushed by a revengeful Memphis team. Overwhelmed from the start of the game, Golden State will suffer the whole game and will lose by 39 points (134-95). If we can trust the talent and experience of the Californian franchise to conclude during the next meeting on their floor, the Warriors could well have relaunched the Grizzlies machine which, despite the absence of its best player Ja Morant, shows a brave face despite the complicated context surrounding this series.
