„Tohle jsme potřebovali. Tohle všechno od Juliuse, včetně jeho nasazení. Někdy odvádí skutečně skvělou práci tím, jak se žene za doskoky. Dnes nám vážně velmi pomohl,“ chválil trenér Chris Finch svého svěřence, který zaznamenal první triple double v play off. Trefil 10 z 23 střel.
Golden State bez Curryho vedli Jimmy Butler s 33 body, sedmi doskočenými míči i sedmi finálními pasy, o 30 bodů se z lavičky postaral Jonathan Kuminga. „Když nemáte Curryho, není prostor pro chyby. Nelze je dělat, nemůžete ztrácet míče, navíc musíte proměnit správné střely,“ řekl Butler.
Vyrovnaný duel rozhodla až poslední část, v níž Wolves dominovali 33:24. Kromě toho přeskákali soka 44:36, připsali si 28 asistencí ku 21 a nevadilo jim ani 21 ztracených míčů ku 15 Warriors. Ani jeden z týmů nevedl v průběhu o víc než 10 bodů. Čtvrtý duel se bude hrát v pondělí opět v San Franciscu.
Po dvou neúspěšných domácích duelech se zvedl Boston, jenž „vyloupil“ Madison Square Garden v New Yorku jednoznačnou výhrou o 22 bodů. V zápase ani jednou neprohrával, naopak už v poločase vedl o 25 bodů a celkem o 31, trefil 20 ze 40 trojek a snížil stav na 1:2.
„K tomu, abyste postoupili, nás musíte porazit čtyřikrát. Ne jednou nebo dvakrát, ale čtyřikrát. Takže je před námi ještě spousta basketbalu,“ řekl Jaylen Brown, jehož celek udržel Knicks na čtyřicetiprocentní střelbě. Zpoza oblouku domácí trefili jen pět pokusů z 25.
Lídry New Yorku byli Jalen Brunson s 27 body nebo Karl-Anthony Towns s 21 body a 15 doskoky. Celtics na druhé straně spoléhali na Paytona Pritcharda s 23 body, Jaysona Tatuma s 22 body, devíti doskoky či sedmi asistencemi. Brown přidal 19 bodů, Derrick White 17 a zkušený Al Horford 15 a devět doskoků.

Donovan Mitchell injury update: Cavaliers star to get MRI on left ankle, coach has ‘no idea’ on Game 5 status
Getty Images Donovan Mitchell was the lone bright spot for the Cleveland Cavaliers in their first three playoff games against the Indiana Pacers. Mitchell was averaging 41.3 points per game in the second round heading into Game 4. Entering Sunday, his dominance was their only consistent strength against an Indiana team that is peaking at the perfect time.

They were up 80-39 at halftime (that 41-point gap is tied for the biggest halftime lead in playoff history), and went on to win by 20. To add injury to insult, Mitchell didn't look right coming out of the locker room before the second half. He tried to get some shots up, but didn't look comfortable. He ultimately was not on the court or even on the […]

How Thunder won the Jamal Murray matchup — and ultimately a critical Game 4 vs. Nuggets
DENVER — Hours before the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 92-87 Game 4 win, while players were on the floor with coaches working on the mechanical aspects of their individual games, Thunder guard Lu Dort could be found slumped in a courtside seat, poring over defensive film with Thunder assistant David Akinyooye.AdvertisementThis season, Dort made a conscious shift in his pregame routine. NBA players are creatures of habit, and it’s commonplace to see them warm up on the court before retreating to sift through a few game clips, if at all. But Dort flipped it, opting to exercise his brain before touching a basketball.Dort, as Oklahoma City’s most dynamic defender, needs to constantly sharpen his mind. And while his offensive contributions were a big part of their historic 68-win regular season, it’s Dort’s importance at the other end of the floor that […]
