The Kings played their own style back at home, although the Spurs relied on Duncan's 36 points to drag the game to the final moment, but they as a whole failed to prevent the Kings' offense, although the Kings team has long lost the pride of the Western Conference Finals with the Lakers in the seven games, but still has its own unique place, playing momentum and feel of Princeton tactics are actually quite terrible.

The Kings tied the overall score at 2-1 and they were eager to pull back as much as possible at home.

There were also repetitions in the two matchups in the East, the Bucks who returned to their home court played quite imposingly, but the Pistons played a very strong defense on the road, although the two starting interior Wallace scores a total of only 23 points, but the two of them combined to score 33 rebounds, and the Bucks only got a total of 36 rebounds in the whole game, and the Pistons won the Bucks 16 rebounds alone, and the Bucks couldn't find a chance even if they wanted to play hard, 95-85, the Bucks lost without a temper at all.

Back at home, the Hornets and the Heat played a defensive battle, and the Hornets let the rest of the Heat play and pestered the Heat's main player Dwyane? Wade, Wade only scored two points on 1-of-8 shooting in the whole game, such a performance could not lead the team to victory at all, relying on the efforts of the whole team, the Hornets blocked the Heat at home, 77-71, and both teams scored very low.

After the game on Saturday, April 24, the media focused on the next day, Sunday, the day on which it is likely that some teams will leave the playoff stage.

On April 25, the Eastern Conference starts first.

At Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, Celtics fans watched in disappointment as the Pacers extended the score step by step, while Pierce was the only one on their team.

The Celtics, who have fallen behind 3-0, have actually reached the final end, and the mentality of the players has changed dramatically, but there is still one person who has been persevering, and that is Pierce, who tried hard to play at his own level and try to boost the morale of the team, but even if he played well against Artest's defense today, he still couldn't recover the morale that had fallen.

90-75, the Celtics were swept out by the Pistons after all, and although Artest failed to defend Pierce today, he scored a team-high 22 points on offense, and his shooting percentage of more than 50% also showed his efficiency.

In the other matchup in the East, the Nets swept the Knicks 100-94 at the Madison Square Garden Arena.

The Knicks, who were 3-0 behind, were united at the last moment, the team's starters and benches were struggling to win, Marbury even scored 31 points and 7 assists in a row, but the Nets also played a very good offense today, Kidd didn't shoot much but got 20 points and 7 assists very efficiently, Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 36 points on 5 of 7 shots from beyond the three-point line, Kenyon? Martin had 16 points and 16 rebounds, and the Nets had already suppressed the Knicks with just the play of these three people.

Swept out of the game, the Knicks began to officially sink into the game, Marbury's real nightmare is coming, whether to sink or break and stand, Marbury faces a difficult choice in the future.

The East first decided the two teams that advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

On the Western side, the Lakers swept the Grizzlies out of the game 110-97 in Memphis, and the old Malone showed his strength today, turning the Grizzlies upside down inside, while O'Neal was happy to paddle, and the Lakers firmly controlled the rhythm of the game throughout the game, and the Grizzlies had no fighting spirit to win at all.

In Houston, the Rockets had the advantage of the home court but were overturned by the Timberwolves in the final quarter, Yao Min fell into foul trouble and was fouled by six fouls with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves began to attack the Rockets' interior, Garnett scored 11 points in the last five minutes to help the team beat the Rockets 92-88 away, so that the Timberwolves also got a 3-1 match point.

On April 26, the fourth meeting between the Mavericks and the Nuggets kicked off at Pepsi Center Arena.

The Nuggets who have fallen behind 3-0 have also undergone a huge change in mentality at this time, in the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that can turn the tables in a situation of 3-0 behind, the Chinese often say in the tactics that the mourning soldiers will win, but it is obvious that in the face of absolute strength, this sentence is obviously not suitable, the United States is a country that admires strength very much.

The Mavericks began to play very relaxed in the face of a huge 3-0 lead, and the players' tense bodies also relaxed, which made their shooting percentage from the outside a good improvement, on the other hand, the Nuggets, except for the 34-year-old veteran Wohchan? Leonard showed his experience and fighting spirit and scored 28 points, others basically did not contribute, Anthony played even more abnormally, in the first quarter of the game he did not hit a single shot in 7 shots, not even free throws, 0 points and 0 assists performance is not worthy of the media's praise for him.

Losing significant outside firepower, coupled with starting point guard Andre? Miller was killed by Liu Han, and the Nuggets can only rely on Marcus? Comparable to the high post to score, but Camby is an interior player with almost no mid-to-long-range shooting, and his shooting action is very unbelievable.

The Mavericks took an 18-point lead at halftime, and in the third quarter they played a 40-point performance in a single quarter again, Liu Han staged a magical performance of 6 three-point shots today, he shot 8 of 10 three-pointers in the whole game, and in the third quarter of the game, the Mavericks engraved the Nuggets on the pillar of shame in the history of the league, and the Nuggets let the Mavericks score 102 points in the third quarter of the game, of which Liu Han alone scored 41 points.

90-136, by the time the game was over, the fans in the Pepsi Center arena were almost gone, and they couldn't bear to see their team continue to be ravaged by the Mavericks.

In doing so, the Mavericks also swept the Nuggets to advance to the second round of the playoffs, and they will wait for the winner between the Timberwolves and the Rockets to play the second-round series.

On the same day, the Heat lost to the Hornets 85-96 on the road, and the two teams returned to the same running line.
