Game 4: Thunder 117, Grizzlies 115
What we learned:
Oklahoma City in Oklahoma City did a quick job of Memphis, where he was marked in Grizlies, who has not won a separate series since 2022 and did not overcome a Western conference team with a victory record after January. MVP ShaI Gilgeous-Elexander is likely to be his first effective performance in the series, as he ended 38 points in 13 of 24. With the exit of Ja Morant, Grizzlies could not deal with the stubborn defensive pressure of thunder, which committed 22 transformations that converted Oklahoma City into 32 points. Now, thunder will get a rest and awaits the winner of the Nuggets-Clippers series.

Game 4: Nuggets 101, Clippers 99
What we learned:
Nikola Jokic revolves around the only player in the world who can spread three times in a separate match and makes people say that the opposing team is doing a good job on it. On Saturday, with the suspension of the Denver season in Al-Mizan, he ran his finest performance in the post-season-a masterpiece of 36 points, 21 awe-to transfer his team to win. The first half was soon because Jokic was easy for others. But at the end of the first half, he kicked him in other equipment, scored or helped at 26 points from 35 points in the third quarter to participate in Denver to advance 20 points. The Nuggets found the starring championship in the fourth quarter, and the biggest progress in the history of the Play of the Play of Franchise. Denver fled when Aaron Gordon miraculously caught a ball from Jokic and expelled it in the bell to win. amazing.

Game 5: Clippers in Nags (Tuesday, 10 pm East time, TNT)
What do you see:
Cleibers did not know as a wonderful team of 3 points this season. So when they fired in the game 3 (18 of 39), they drowned their excessive confidence from behind the arc on Saturday in the game 4. La 10 reached only 30 from behind the bow and 33 % in general. Some of that was because Denver played a much better defense, as he was advancing Kawahi Leonard and James Harden and forcing other players to overcome them. In this game, the supportive Clippers team could not ascend and Denver on a series with two days to recover before the 5 game at home.

Game 3: Warriors 104, Rocists 93
What we learned:
Woorrez has enough to win the qualifying game without “Jimmy’s playoff match”. Perhaps in their most courageous performance for this season, Woriors advanced 2-1 in this best series of seven by overcoming a 13-point deficit with Bater. Stephen Carey responded with 36 points, nine passes and seven rebound balls. It became hot in the third quarter with 12 points. But in the fourth quarter, when Warriors needed others, Gary Payton II appeared. With Houston’s focus on a lot of defensive interest on Carrie, Payton (16 points) imposed a few of the ball throwing and 3, and nine consecutive points for visitors at one point to help Golden Station to withdraw. Buddy Hield had one of his best toys as a warrior with 17 points and five points. Quintin Post and Jonathan Cominga (seven points) began with Bater due to the deep glut and mail bruise, which won 12 rebounds.
DrayMond Green established the Warriors defense and was crossed out on Houston, and the hatred of the missiles to 22 points in the fourth quarter and contains Galin Green to nine points after an explosion of 38 points in the game 2. Houston showed the inability to harm Golden’s state on the offensive side in his loss. With the possibility to return in the game 4 on Monday with five days to recover, warriors have an opportunity to put the missiles in a possible hole 3-1 if they are serving at home.

Game 4: Ructas in Woriors (Monday 10 pm East time, TNT)
What do you see:
Golden State was definitely felt Bater’s absence from the attack, especially in the second quarter when warriors stumbled over only six points over seven minutes to start the frame. Carrie brilliantly made compensation for lost production with Bater. Carrie scored his eighth career in 30 points against Ructas in the qualifiers, while Woriors defense closed the clips on Galen Green in Houston. However, Bater’s recovery and the availability of the 4 game will be monitored on Monday, especially with a look at the warriors an opportunity to seize two games and a dangerous momentum in this series. If Bater returns to game 4, Golden State has a real shot to push Houston to the edge of exclusion.

Game 3: Timberwolves 116, Lakers 104
What we learned:
This was a close game until Minnesota ended with 13-1. But when you look at how wolves took control of points in the 56-26 paint, they only had 11 transformations in Lakers 19 and almost doubled at fast-pairing points (21-11), it is amazing that Los Angeles did not lose more. With Luka Densic struggled and dealing with stomach flu (17 points in fire 6 against 16, eight decisive passes, seven rebound balls and five transformations), Liberation James Lakers carried. He set a record in the American Professional League match for the largest number of points by a 40 or larger player, as he ended 38 points and 10 rebound balls, but it was not enough. Minnesota got another great effort from Jaden McDanels (30 points, five counterattacks and stolen), and Anthony Edwards apparently made all the play that wolves need in the fourth. He had 29 points, eight counterattacks, and eight decisive passes.

Game 4: Lakers at Timberolves (Sunday, 3:30 pm Eastern time, ABC)
What do you see:
The chain schedule included three days between games 1, 2 and three days between games 2 and 3, but game 4 is a quick shift – local advice 2:30 pm. Los Angeles energy should be fed with the desire to avoid a 3-1 deficit, but it makes you wonder what James, Doneswich and Austin Revez will get in the tank after they all played 40 minutes on Friday.
