The Playoff adventure of Embiid and Giannis, or gods Philadelphia 76Ers and gods Milwaukee Bucks, ends bitterly in the first round. The 115-118 defeat against the City of Brotherly Love was decisive for the franchise New York Knicks led by a splendid Brunson in the race you are, while Haliburton and his teammates dominated the sixth round against the Bucks for 120-98, with one night to remember for TJ McConnell. For Indiana’s number 9 at the siren there were 20 points, 9 assists and 4 steals, three figures that represent his three career highs in playoff games, a huge contribution coming off the bench. Two more games six are coming tonight: Magic against Cavs, with the latter being up 3-2, and the long-awaited Dallas – Clippers, with Luka Doncic who could eliminate George, Leonard and company once again. Let’s go over tonight’s two matches in detail.
In Philadelphia the team of Tom Thibodeau he doesn’t want to waste the first match point to close the series and his men respond more than willingly by playing an authorial first quarter on both halves of the court and closing at 22-36, after having been up by 20 points. The usual Joel Embiid wakes up i companionsthe first to give him a strong hand is Buddy Hield coming off the bench (there will be 20 with 6/9 from three at the end for the former Sacramento player). The gap is all closed up in the two central quarters and in the last twelve minutes the game is played point by point. Brunson ed Embiid they give life to one challenge Extremely beautiful, with New York’s 11 confirming the great seasonal growth possession after possession. However, he decides the match Donte DiVincenzo: “Big Ragù” makes a series of key plays in the final minutes, including the free throws and the defense on Maxey that close out the game. L’MVP And Jalen Brunson which for the third time in a row reaches forty points: 41 con 12 assist for him. On the other hand, the 39 with 13 rebounds by Embiid who paid for a bit of tiredness in the last quarter and ended his game prematurely due to fouls. It ends 115-118 for New York who wins the series 4-2.
The team does practically nothing wrong Rick Carlisle in the sixth, and decisive, match of this first round against i Milwaukee Bucks. The most anticipated protagonists are the usual ones: on the one hand Tyrese Haliburton and on the other the duo Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, but the first is unable to take the field. However, the scene is mostly taken by the supporting actors. The first twelve minutes end with Indiana up by nine, with baskets from the bench Obi Toppin and an inspired T.J. McConnell. The two continue for the second quarter, together with a Pascal I’m hungry which as always is important on both sides of the pitch; on the other side Bobby Portis and Dame keep guests there. In the second half, Inidiana controlled the pace of the match and managed to build a reassuring lead, while on the other side Lillard tried to keep things going despite his precarious physical condition (he was in doubt until a few minutes after the tap-off). L‘contribution from bench turns out to be fundamental: 50 points marked by that of the hosts compared to the just 10 from the Bucks, with TJ McConnell’s 20 and Obi Toppin’s 21 above all. Lillard finishes with 28 points, eventually even a few nervousness con Patrick Beverleynot new to episodes of this kind, who on a timeout with 2:32 left with the score 114-94 for Inidiana threw the ball towards a Pacers fan sitting behind their bench. Ends 120-98 for Indiana who wins the series 4-2coach Rick Carlisle wins a playoff series, something that hasn’t happened to him since 2011, the year of the title with the Dallas Mavericks.
