ROMA – The NBA 2022 playoffs continue. During the night, the last two matches were held, valid as 6-match games of the Conference semifinals. The Boston Celtics beat Milwaukee 108-95 away and lead the series to 3-3, postponing everything to game-7. The guests have always led the match thanks to a partial, after the first two fractions, of 53-43 to then hold up without worries until the final +13. Jayson Tatum’s performance was fundamental, with 46 points on the scoresheet (9 rebounds and 4 assists) but also Jaylen Brown’s 22 points and Marcus Smart’s 21 points. The double double by Giannis Antetokounmpo (who finishes with 44 points and 20 assists) and 17 Jrue Holiday points is not enough for the hosts. The Eastern Conference finalist who will face Miami will come out of the challenge that will be played on Sunday evening at home in Boston.
In the other semifinal, that of the Western Conference, the Golden State close the accounts with Memphis, who pays for the absence of Ja Morant. The 110-96 win puts an end to the series. The match was decided in the last quarter with a 32-19 run. For the Warriors 30 points from Klay Thompson and 29 from Steph Curry. Among the Grizzlies, 30 points from Dillon Brooks and 25 from Desmond Bane are not enough. The Warriors will face the final with the winner of the match between Phoenix and Dallas.
