The three winners of their fourth game on Wednesday in Game 5, Utah, Philadelphia and Atlanta have qualified for the semifinals of their respective conferences. Dallas, for its part, regained control in its series against the Clippers. The Mavericks, led by a huge Luka Doncic (42 points, 14 assists) now lead 3-2.
We can see more clearly! For the first time since the start of these NBA 2021 play-offs, that same Wednesday night allowed three teams to qualify for the next round. Almost logically, Utah, Atlanta and Philadelphia, which had each taken off in their series, finished the job on Wednesday., with for the three franchises a great dominance on arrival (4-1) over the rival who had reserved for them this first round of the final phase. One pitch above Memphis since Game 2 (the Jazz bowed in Game 1), Utah knocked out the Grizzlies in the first quarter (47-27), on his field in Salt-Lake City, and knew how to drive calmly then (126-110 final score) to validate his ticket to the Western Conference semifinals without shaking. Rudy Gobert, still decisive, took the opportunity to allow himself a new double-double (23 points to 10 of 13 in shots, 15 rebounds). As always, the Jazz also had the inevitable Donovan Mitchell (30 points, 10 assists). Jordan Clarkson (24 points) off the bench was also a big part of this new success allowing the Jazz to continue their journey. Atlanta also continues.
Young sends Knicks on vacation, Curry ruins Wizards’ last hopes
Like Utah, the Hawks had gradually taken over New York in the series. On Wednesday, they confirmed this superiority by inflicting another defeat on the Knicks (103-89) on their home court at Madison Square Garden. Julius Randle (23 points, 13 rebounds) did his best to avoid this elimination-synonymous fourth loss, but there was nothing to do once again for the fourth of the regular season in the East against the Georgians and a Trae Young (36 points, 9 assists), unstoppable. On the Philadelphia side, the fit man is named Seth Curry. Wednesday, during Game 5 between Philadelphia and Washington, 30-point author Stephen’s brother shattered Washington’s last hopes and his luxury tandem Bradley Beal (32 points) – Russell Westbrook (24 points, 10 assists). Defeated 129-112, these Wizards came back out of nowhere during the regular season stop there.
Doncic mercilessly for the Clippers!
The Clippers could also quickly find themselves on premature vacation. In this duel between the Los Angeles franchise and Dallas that has yet to see either team win at home, the Mavericks regained control (3-2) after their third success (105-100) at Staples Center. All five starters on the Clippers side scored at least ten points, including Nicolas Batum (10 points) and the palm that came back with Paul George, with 23 points (and 10 rebounds), but more was needed to stop the Mavericks and a monumental Luka Doncic on Wednesday (42 points on 17 of 37 shooting, including 6 of 12 on three points and 14 assists). And here is Kawhi Leonard (20 points) and his teammates back on the brink.
