The Mavericks made a "three-point rain" in this game, and in the first half, they made 11 of 15 three-pointers, tying the NBA playoff record, and 20 of 32 three-pointers in the whole game, also equaling the record.

Huang Yu was even more surprising, he scored 20 points on 6-of-7 three-pointers in the first half, and 9-of-10 three-pointers in the whole game, tying the NBA playoff personal record, playing only 25 minutes and cutting 32 points and 6 rebounds.

Nowitzki scored 17 points and didn't score in a double for any of his other starters. Terry, who came off the bench, scored 21 points on 6-of-6 three-pointers.

The Lakers were swept out, the road to defending the title ends here, and coach Phil Jackson will also leave the NBA in this unseemly manner. Bryant scored 13 points in the first quarter, but only scored two points in the second half, scored 17 points in the game, and made five turnovers, ending the season early. Artest returned from a one-game suspension and scored 11 points in poor form, Gasol had 10 points and eight rebounds, and Bynum had six points and six rebounds.

The defending champion Lakers were swept and the Mavericks entered the Western Conference finals! The other group that could make it to the Western Conference finals is either the Thunder or the Grizzlies, and this kind of matchup in the West may be the most strange since 1998.

No Kobe, no Purple and Gold, no Duncan! No spurs! Everything feels so new and at the same time a little more exciting! Regardless of whether the Grizzlies or the Thunder enter the Western Conference finals, the two Young Guards opponents are experienced Mavericks, and this Maverick is stronger than in previous years!

At the press conference, the Zen master maintained his own elegance without any anger and resentment! Everything is so simple to end, the media reporter is also very interested, after simply asking some questions, the topic shifted to the future life of the Zen master, whether he will take a break for a while and continue to teach! But the Zen master gave a negative answer.

Just kidding let the Lakers put on a show this year, and the Zen master is not an idiot! If you can't take power and lead the team, you are squandering your past glory.

-----------

The Mavericks ended the second round of the playoffs early, waiting for the opponents in the next round, the Grizzlies and the Thunder, the two young guards, are difficult to solve!

The Thunder pulled one back at home in Game 2, but lost the first game away in Memphis!

Randolph had never been so deep in the playoffs, so he didn't have a lot of experience, so he quickly learned a profound lesson, scoring a career-high 31 points in the elimination of the Spurs, and in the first game against the Thunder, he broke the record again, scoring 34 points, but only scored 15 points on 2-of-13 shooting in the second game.

In an interview, Randolph also said that it may be due to the poor distribution of physical strength, resulting in no state in the second game, and there was a three-day rest before the third game with the Thunder.

That being said, the Grizzlies were in trouble from the start, with Westbrook and Durant hitting back-to-back shots, and the injured Seraba also dunked his hand in the opening game, and Sephorosa scored frequently under the basket, and the Thunder started the game with an 11-4 run.

Randolph cooperated with the resistance, staged a scene of aerial relay layup and a ball, helped the Grizzlies score 2 points, and then Gasol hit a shot, and the Grizzlies began to fight back, once narrowing the gap to 1 point, and the Grizzlies fell behind 20-22 after the first quarter.

The defensive quality of the two teams is very high, so the scoring frequency is not high, knowing that the Grizzlies only overtook Arthur with two free throws at 7 points in the second quarter, but then Harden broke through to make a layup and caused a foul, and scored 3 points with free throws, and then Westbrook then passed and attacked, and the Thunder played a wave of 10-0 to gain a 40-31 advantage. The Thunder won the quarter 31-21 and led 51-43 at halftime.

-------------

Westbrook's offense was ferocious for a long time in the third quarter. With 7:12 left in the quarter, he hit a mid-range shot and his teammates followed up with a steal, and he drew another foul and hit two free throws. Halfway through the quarter, Westbrook scored a three-pointer, and Durant hit a shot after that, and the Thunder scored nine straight points to take a 16-point advantage at 68-52.

The Grizzlies managed to return a one-point with Randolph and Mayo with a three-pointer, but the Grizzlies failed to close the gap to single digits in the quarter, Westbrook scored 11 points in the first quarter, and the Thunder ended the first three quarters 76-63.

The Grizzlies, who trailed by 13 points, did not panic, showing their strongest defense at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and after the Thunder's scoring momentum was contained, the Grizzlies launched a wave of 6-0 offense, and the Thunder were heavily guarded before scoring for the first time after nearly 3 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Halfway through the quarter, after Mayo and Conley hit back-to-back three-pointers, the Grizzlies started the quarter with a 16-6 spurt to tie the score at 79-82.

The Thunder suddenly got into a predicament, with Westbrook and Durant both losing their senses under tight guards. The Grizzlies continued to fight back wildly, and with 2:21 left in the game, Tony Allen hit one of two free throws to give the Grizzlies an 85-84 lead, their first half-time lead. Westbrook and Durant still missed shots after that, and the Grizzlies still hit one of two free throws to give them a two-point lead.

The Thunder couldn't score for four minutes before Westbrook hit two free throws to tie the score with 52.9 seconds left. Both teams then missed back-to-back shots, and the Grizzlies controlled the final four seconds. Randolph missed a great opportunity to shoot and the two sides went into overtime at 86-86.

The Grizzlies scored four straight points after the start of overtime to gain the upper hand. Durant and Westbrook struggled to get their groove back, and the Grizzlies kept attacking the basket, and with 56.8 seconds left in the game, Gasol hit two free throws to give the Grizzlies a 96-90 lead. The Grizzlies completed a 16-point comeback at home, beating the Thunder 101-93 in overtime to take a 2-1 lead.

Randolph had 21 points and 21 rebounds, Conley had 18 and Gasol Jr. had 16 points and seven rebounds. Coming off the bench, OJ Mayo scored 18 points.

Westbrook had 23 points, 12 assists and six rebounds, Durant had 22 points and 12 rebounds, Ibaka had 14 points and eight rebounds and Harden had 12 points.

Westbrook was also the target of criticism, and he paid for his regular-time madness in overtime! made two offensive fouls in regular time, so that he had 6 fouls with 3 minutes left in overtime, and he had no choice but to end the game!

But fortunately, Durant also helped him attract a lot of firepower, after all, he didn't score a point in overtime!

Although Harden was not affected, after all, he was only ten sixth men, but he still worked hard to brush up his presence, and said in an interview that the rhythm of the whole game was here with the Thunder, and the Grizzlies just seized that little opportunity!

Harden's speech at this time may only be literal, the Thunder is still in Gemini mode, not the Thunder three less in two years! What the nightclub that didn't float up now is just playing time.

Before the two teams played the fourth game, the Lakers had been eliminated by the Mavericks, both the Grizzlies and the Thunder were slightly relieved, and in the face of the Lakers, who had accumulated power for a long time, it was relatively better for the Mavericks to play.

----------

Although both teams think so, who knows that they will not decide the winner until the final game of this series.

Although the Grizzlies have completed the black eight this season, it can be said that they have completed the requirements of this season, but they eliminated the strong rival Spurs first, and the battle between Youya and the Thunder is not left behind.

They hope to go far in the playoffs. Although the Thunder have "twin stars" in charge, they do not have an advantage over the Grizzlies in terms of age or playoff experience. The Grizzlies' home-court advantage in the first game is the best proof of this.

And if the Thunder want to continue their playoff journey, this one must fight, otherwise it will be a matter of time before they return to the home court and lose, if the score becomes 3-1, then the pressure on the Thunder will increase geometrically.

However, after the opening, the Grizzlies gave the Thunder a dismissal, Gasol scored 3 points with free throws, and Tony Allen made three baskets after that, and after he scored on a dunk, the Grizzlies started the game 12-2.

Probably affected by the reversal in the last game, the Thunder's overall shooting percentage dropped after the opening, shooting only one shot in the last three minutes, and they only hit two shots after the half-quarter. The Grizzlies rode high and quickly took a double-digit lead to end the first quarter 28-16.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Grizzlies led by 17 points at 39-22, but there are some things that can't be generalized, and the starting state is average! The Thunder's bench began to fight back after coming on the court, Cook hit a three-pointer, Harden made a layup, narrowing the gap to help the Thunder stabilize the situation, and then Durant and Westbrook also found their senses, and the Thunder went on a 16-6 run in the last five minutes to tie the score at 49-53 at halftime.

-----------

At the beginning of the third quarter, Westbrook launched a quick attack and scored a layup, and then the Thunder scored four consecutive points, and after half quarter, the Thunder took a 67-66 lead, which was their first game lead.

The two sides then alternated the lead several times, and the game was evenly matched. However, Gasol Jr., who was in excellent form, scored four straight points in the final 36 seconds of the quarter to give the Grizzlies a 72-71 lead into the fourth quarter.

The Thunder started the fourth quarter with a steady start to the basket, and with 4:56 left in the quarter, Westbrook hit a mid-range shot to give them a 10-point advantage at 92-82. However, the Grizzlies' tenacity has been proven many times, and it was on display again today, with Mayo and Gasol Jr. winning in quick succession, and they went on a 7-0 run to close the gap.

With 1:56 left in the fourth quarter, the Thunder led 96-89, but after that they had the same problem as in the final moments of the last game, which was not being able to score in key moments.

Gasol Jr. hit a close-range shot, and Randolph also hit two free throws. The Thunder repeatedly missed opportunities at critical moments, and Perkins even missed two free throws.

With 3.5 seconds left in the quarter, Conley hit a three-pointer and the Grizzlies tied the score at 96-96. Westbrook missed the final blow and the two sides went into extra time.

Harden came on the court after the start of overtime, and made four fouls and four free throws in a row to give the Thunder an advantage. Randolph also made up for a layup after Perkins made up for a layup, and Durant hit a three-pointer with 2:12 left in overtime to give the Thunder a 105-98 lead.

However, the Grizzlies did not give up, Mayo hit two three-pointers, and with 1:13 left in overtime, his three-pointers put the Grizzlies up 104-107. Randolph then made a steal and made two free throws after a foul, leaving the two sides separated by only one point.

Then the Thunder made another mistake, Gasol Jr.'s stealing hand, and the Grizzlies got a good chance to overtake, but unfortunately Conley missed the three-point shot this time.

After the Grizzlies fouled, Westbrook hit two free throws from the free throw line, and the Grizzlies were forced into a corner. Fortunately, they had no shortage of three-point shooters, and Vasquith hit a three-point shot, and the two sides were tied again. Durant missed a three-pointer in the final minute, and the game between the two teams went into the second overtime.

The game entered the stage of life and death, and the physical exertion was getting bigger and bigger, and the Grizzlies' ability to grab rebounds at critical moments became a scoring guarantee. With 3:25 left in the second overtime, Randolph followed up and grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a layup to tie the score.

After both teams missed back-to-back shots, Battier grabbed an offensive rebound with 1:49 left in the quarter, and after hitting a jumper, the Grizzlies led 114-112 for the first time since they were outscored in the fourth quarter.

The Thunder walked on the edge of the cliff and equalized several times. With 30.8 seconds left in the quarter, Westbrook hit a step-back shot to make it 119-119. The Grizzlies then grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds, but missed consecutive shots, and the Thunder missed their last shot and went into overtime for the third time.

The third overtime was the moment to test the physical strength of the players, and both sides had three shots, and the Thunder had the last laugh in this marathon-like long game.

Durant scored four straight points in the final minute to extend the margin to six points at 129-123. Randolph was stealed by Durant at a critical moment. Durant hit a fast-break shot, and the Thunder led by eight points, and the Grizzlies finally collapsed, and the Thunder sealed the win.

The Grizzlies once led by 17 points, but were stubbornly resisted by the Thunder and entered overtime three times, but unfortunately fell short, and the Thunder who played away won 133-123 against the Grizzlies, not only to make the score 2-2, but also to regain the lost home advantage.

Westbrook contributed 40 points and five assists, and Durant had 35 points and 13 rebounds. Harden, who came off the bench, had 19 points, seven assists and seven rebounds.

Randolph had 34 points and 16 rebounds, Gasol Jr. had 26 points and 21 rebounds, 10 of which were offensive rebounds, and Conley and O.J. Mayo both had six fouls out, scoring 16 and 18 points, respectively. Vasquiz 14 points.

----------

In the last game, the two teams played three overtimes, and in the end, the Grizzlies fell short and the score was equalized. Today's game is crucial, and whoever wins the "Battle of Tennoyama" of the two teams has a greater advantage in winning the series.

After the opening, the Thunder were in a slump, and there was a tendency for the home court to be unsafe, but after that, they gradually entered the state, from the second quarter, the Thunder began to open the gap, and then the momentum was like a bamboo, and in the second half of the second quarter, the Thunder entered the second half with a double-digit margin of 46-35.

The Grizzlies seem to be able to fight with the Thunder in the first quarter because of the three overtimes in the last fierce battle, but then they are completely caught in the rhythm of the Thunder, although the goal is very certain, and the defense is counterattacking first.

But the Thunder's attack couldn't stop at all, and the more they played, the smoother they played, and even Westbrook and Durant showed a wave of aerial relays, and the Thunder's bench also continued the excellent performance of the previous game, and the Thunder led by 19 points after three quarters.

The fourth-quarter bench lineup was still ferocious, extending the margin to 24 points in just three minutes, and the Grizzlies starters struggled on the court for a while, but the Thunder bench didn't give a chance at all, and the margin was around 20 points.

As soon as the half quarter passed, the Grizzlies saw that there was no hope of chasing points, so they could only replace the substitute and prepare for the sixth battle of life and death! And the main force of the Thunder is talking and laughing on the sidelines watching the bench play.
