NBA s first round G5 battle report: Celtics crushed and advanced, Halliburton won the finale, Murray scored 43 points to beat the Clippers

The first round of the NBA playoffs ushered in many life-and-death battles. The Pacers made an overtime finale to change their fate. The Pistons continued to write the legend of dark horses away. The Celtics woke up and crushed in the second half to advance, while the Clippers were completely lost in the battle of Tianwang Mountain. From the final score to the collapse, from personal heroism to team resilience, the four games include both super-god data, controversial penalty, and even regretful moments that make fans sigh.

Halliburton's final victory ends the series, Antetokounmpo's Bucks' career countdown!

Bucks 118-119 Pacers: The Bucks started with a 13-0 attack wave in the first quarter. Antetokounmpo was in a turbulent inside, Trent and AJ Green were fully fired from the outside, leading by 17 points in the first quarter. However, the Pacers woke up in the second quarter, Halliburton connected the entire team, McConnell and Nesmith counterattacked quickly, and chased to the 6-point gap in the first half. In the second half, the two sides were in a tug-of-war. Antetokounmpo collided with Turner at the end of the third quarter and left the field (returned later), and the Pacers took advantage of the situation to overtake. Trent made a consecutive three-pointer in the final quarter and helped the Bucks lead by 4 points, but Halliburton scored a series of breakthroughs and shots. Antetokounmpo made a final shot and the game entered overtime. In overtime, Trent made three-pointers in a row, and the Bucks led by 6 points at one point, but then two fatal mistakes ruined the victory. 1.3 seconds before the final game, Halliburton made a strong breakthrough, and Antetokounmpo made a final layup, and the Pacers advanced 119-118.

Halliburton scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and scored 8 points in overtime. The winning goal interprets the big heart, and the offense and defense took over the game at critical moments. Teammates also performed well, Turner scored 21 points and 9 rebounds, Nesmith scored 19 points and 12 rebounds, 6 players scored in double digits, and 5 players scored 15+, which can be said to have played the team basketball to the extreme.

Antetokounmpo has 30 points, 20 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. It is difficult to save his master with an epic triple-double. He averaged 34.2 points per game in the series but became a tragic hero. Trent scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals, and 8 of 17 three-pointers made a surprise appearance, but two mistakes in overtime were directly ruined. The failure of the Bucks is inevitable. Lillard was reimbursed for the season, Kuzma was very useful, Antetokounmpo was unable to support it, the team's defensive efficiency was at the bottom of the playoffs, the Pacers targeted "one-start four-couple" tactic locked the Greek monsters, and no character player could continue to be in power. The post-match conflict and Yang Yi's prediction that "Antetokounmpo will leave the team" cast a shadow on the Bucks' future.

Youth Army Counterattack, Cunningham 24+8+8 Life-Extending Series!

Pistols 106-103 Knicks: The Pistons, who fought back, showed iron-blooded defense at the beginning. Harris blocked four shots to shock the penalty area, and Cningham broke through and activated the entire team. The Knicks relied on Towns and Brunson to keep up with the score and overtook the final quarter. In the first 30 seconds of the final game, Osal Thompson made a key layup, Bridges scored a three-pointer and made a close eye on the score. Back, Schroeder made one of two free throws, Anunobi made a strong three-pointer, and the difference reached one point. In the last 5.4 seconds, Cunningham was invincible in both free throws, the Knicks deliberately missed the free throw, Towns used the rebound to create a three-point opportunity, and no one responded from the Knicks' outside. With the whistle sounding in the final game, the Pistons relied on the team's performance to regain a tough game.

Cunningham scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and scored 13 points in the last quarter. Harris has 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks, which is a combination of offense and defense. Thompson made 8 of 10 shots, effectively contributing 22 points and 7 rebounds. Beasley and Schroeder scored 24 points to support the substitute firepower.

Brunson scored 16 points and 7 assists, facing the Pistons' wheel defense, with 4 of 16 shots and slumping efficiency. Anunobi scored 19 points and 8 rebounds, Towns scored 17 points and 11 rebounds, Hart scored 15 points, Bridges scored 17 points, and Robinson scored 13 points and 11 rebounds. The Knicks scored 6 points in double digits, but in the end they lost the game because of the hasty handling of the key ball.

Tatum set a record 35+8+10, and the Celtics crushed the Magic and advanced!

Magic 89-120 Celtics: In the first half, the Magic led by 2 points with Wagner Jr. and Bankairo, but the Celtics suddenly made a comeback in the third quarter, scoring 36 points in a single quarter (the Magic only scored 13 points). Tatum led the team to defeat his opponent by 13 points in a single quarter. In the last quarter, the Celtics' substitute continued to expand the score difference, and the game entered garbage time early.

Tatum scored 35 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, setting a team record for 35+ in three consecutive games in the playoffs, and made all 11 free throws to show his killer nature. Brown added icing on the cake with 23 points and 6 rebounds, Horford scored 9 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and played more than the Magic in the playoffs, using his experience to educate the Magic young inside.

Banchero scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, with comprehensive data but low efficiency. Wagner Jr. scored 25 points on 10 of 22 shots. The failure of magic comes from the double crush of experience and talent. The Celtics have the first defensive efficiency in the league in the playoffs. The forward combination of Tatum and Brown is unstoppable, and the bench is even more powerful. The Magic lost without any worries. I look forward to the two young core members making a comeback next season.

Murray shot through the Clippers' defense line with 43 points, and Westbrook hit his old club!

Clippers 115-131 Nuggets: The Nuggets made three-pointers in the first quarter, Murray scored 10 points in a single quarter, Jokic supported the team at a high position, and the Clippers only rely on Zubac's strong attack in the inside. In the third quarter, Murray scored another 13 points, and the gap widened to 16 points. The Clippers once chased to 9 points in the final quarter, but Murray and Westbrook teamed up to play an 11-0 offensive to end the suspense.

Murray scored 43 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, 8 of 14 three-pointers, and directly hit the Clippers' outside without any resolving shots. Jokic scored 13 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. The walking triple-double completely failed the Clippers' double-team tactic. Westbrook contributed 21 points on 8 of 15 shots, which is a hero of this game.

Xiaoka scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, Zubac scored 27 points and 5 rebounds, hitting a career playoff high in his empty playoffs. Harden was in a sluggish state, scoring only 11 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and was completely defeated by Murray. And the defensive end has a loophole, with 0 points in the last quarter, plus or negative value - 16 lowest in the game. The Clippers allowed the Nuggets to make 17 three-pointers with a 51% shooting rate in this game, which is enough to explain the problem!

The few duels today include Halliburton's decisive killing script, and Antetokounmpo's tragic moment of killing triple-double. Cunningham proves the rise of the new generation of point guards, while Harden is once again trapped in the curse of the King of Heaven. After the first round, from team resilience to star quality, from tactical game to mentality, the advanced team will face higher challenges - the real good show has just begun!
