Three overtimes, three last-minute shots, and a 127-120 score between the two teams all left many marveling at the intensity of the game.

Maybe 127 points and 120 points are nothing for a team like the Mavericks, but it is extremely rare for the Pistons or the Nets, although the Nets also hold high the banner of offense, but they have never scored more than 110 points in the playoffs, this is the first time they have scored more than 120 points in the playoffs, and the Pistons, not to mention the Pistons, who have averaged more than 90 points per game this season.

In the regular 48 minutes of game time, the Nets relied on Bryant's desperate three-pointer in the final minute to drag the game into the first overtime.

In the first overtime, the Nets fell behind again, and it was Kobe Bryant who scored the second in the final minute to equalize the score, and the two teams went into the second overtime.

In the second overtime, the Nets played a small climax, leading the Pistons by three points into the final 17 seconds, but the Pistons also relied on Billups' shot in the last second to equalize the score again, and the game was dragged into the third overtime, and finally the Nets performed better in the third overtime, winning the game 127-120, the Pistons unexpectedly reaped a defeat after returning to the Auburn Hills Palace, and the Nets led 3-2 in the aggregate, which many people did not expect.

The Mavericks can now easily wait for their opponents to arrive, the Spurs and Lakers are tied 2-2 in the West, and the two sides look like they still have to play, while the situation in the East is also blurred, the media's pre-game predictions are all disappointed, the Nets and the Heat have played very well, and in the playoffs, nothing is impossible.

On May 15, the Lakers challenged the Spurs away, and the two teams played a defensive battle. Jackson took the opportunity to let the team play the advantage of the interior to create the Spurs' kill, and this trick really worked, the Spurs core Duncan was rested early because of two fouls, and the Lakers had the advantage from the beginning of the game.

Although Ginobili, who later came off the bench, led the Spurs to take the lead at one point, the Lakers still took advantage of the huge inside advantage to regain the lead.

In the end, the Lakers relied on O'Neal's two points with seven seconds left in the final game to end the game, 74-73, and the Lakers won a hard-fought away victory, and they also took a 3-2 lead.

On the same day, the Heat and the Pacers also played a matchup.

The Pacers regained their rhythm after returning to their home court, and although Wade hit a double-double of 16 points and 10 assists to make the team's six players score in double figures, they couldn't defend the Pacers' interior for a few days. Foster, the Pacers won easily 94-83, and Jeff? Foster finished with 20 points and 16 rebounds on 9-of-10 shooting.

On May 16, the Nets were defeated 81-75 by the Pistons at home, another typical Pistons-style victory.

The Nets also led the Pistons by two points in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, the Pistons only allowed the Nets to score 11 points, and they scored 27 points themselves, which opened the score, although the Pistons suddenly missed in the third quarter and scored only 10 points, but after entering the fourth quarter, Larry? Brown still used his extensive coaching experience to beat the young Frank.

Frank used up a timeout prematurely in the fourth quarter, leaving the Nets in chaos in the final minutes, while the Pistons took advantage of the opportunity to win the game in one fell swoop.

With the victory, the Pistons took the initiative and tied the game 3-3 together, with Game 7 at Upper Palace Arena in Auburn, home to the league's most famous home stadium, and Detroit has no shortage of tough workers.

Although it was the weekend, there was only one game between the Nets and the Pistons on this day, and the Mavericks eliminated the Timberwolves early, which was expected by everyone.

On May 17, the NBA took a day off, after all, the intense competition exhausted all the teams that were still in the playoffs, and the league had to adjust the schedule to make more games take place on the weekend, and at the end of the day, it was still the ratings that dominated.

After a day of adjustment, Game 6 between the Heat and the Pacers begins on May 18.

At the American Airlines Arena in Miami, the Pacers gave the Heat a glimpse of what real defense is, although Wade scored 24 points in general, but the Heat team fell into chaos, Artest showed his talent on the offensive end, he scored a game-high 27 points, and the most important thing is that the Pacers' bench let the Heat's bench only score 6 points, although their own shooting rate in the whole game was just over 30%, but it also made the opponent's shooting rate less than 30%, 73-70, The young Heat team was eliminated, but they have no regrets, because no one would have thought that the Heat, who had lost seven in a row at the beginning of this season, could come to this point, and they are also a rookie to lead the team, such a team is worthy of the league's expectations, and Wade has proven himself to be one of the best rookies in the 03 class.

After the Heat were eliminated, all that was left was the matchup between the Spurs and the Lakers, and the matchup between the Nets and the Pistons.

On May 19, the sixth game between the Spurs and the Lakers began.

In Staples, the Lakers played a game of momentum, although O'Neal only scored 17 points because of Popovich's shameless "shark slashing tactic", but he got 19 rebounds strongly, and Finley proved that he was not the weakest of the four kings, he scored a game-high 26 points, and added 7 assists and 7 rebounds, on the other hand, the Spurs, their starters except for Duncan scored more than double digits, If it weren't for Ginobili on the bench to stand up and cut points, maybe the Spurs would have been a rout, 88-76, the Lakers won the game indisputably, so they also eliminated the Spurs with a score of 4-2 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

On May 20, the final game of the second round of the entire playoffs began.

At the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, the Nets were completely lost in the Pistons' defense and the momentum of Detroit fans, Kidd was entangled by Billups, the Nets lost their playmaker, Kobe Bryant turned into an iron maniac, and only hit 6 of the 27 crazy shots, only 4 people in the entire Nets team scored more than 10 points, and no one scored more than 20 points, while Billups and Hamilton scored more than 20 points in the Pistons' starters.

69-90, a 31-point rout, the Nets were unfortunately eliminated by the Pistons 4-3.

In this way, the second round of the NBA playoffs is over, and all that remains will be the final East-West Finals and Finals, and the entire NBA will also enter the final climax of a season.
