The team: Boston settles scores with Miami
There was revenge in the air this Friday at TD Garden. Defeated in the Eastern Conference final last year by Miami at the end of the suspense (4-3), Boston dominated the Floridians (119-111) relying on its trio Derrick White (28 points) – Jaylen Brown ( 27 points) – Jayson Tatum (22 points).
Winners of their opening match against the Knicks (108-104), the Celtics have a second success in a row. While the Heat had already been hot against Detroit (103-102), Miami did not last the distance at the end of the match against the collective strength of Boston despite a good game from Tyler Herro (28 points) and Bam Adebayo ( 27 points).
The performance for nothing: Mitchell, 43 points in the defeat
There is no shortage of regrets for Donovan Mitchell and Cleveland after a defeat as astonishing as it was frustrating against OKC (108-105). While they led by 10 points two minutes from time and had done everything well so far, the Cavaliers ruined everything, starting with Mitchell’s major performance (43 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists in 42 minutes).
The game seemed to be over but thanks to 4 3-point shots in a row, the Thunder came back from nowhere, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (34 points, 11 rebounds) and Luguentz Dort (25 points). A final thrill on a final award-winning shot from Mitchell at one point made us think of a comeback for the Cavs, but it was OKC who carried out a very good operation, away, and confirmed their inaugural success on the Chicago floor ( 124-104).
