There were no surprises in the outcome of the game, the Cavaliers swept the Celtics 4-0, but Love's injury cast a shadow over the team.

Olynyk defended after the game: "I never intentionally hurt Kevin or anyone. He locked my arm as we fought for the ball, and I grabbed him. In this alliance, your arms are always entangled with others. ”

Entanglement of arms may be common, but the slow-motion footage of the game video shows Olynyk coming up with a grappling force when he couldn't get his hands on the ball, and it was the win that directly caused Love to retire injured.

Isaiah Thomas also defended his teammates, "We're all men, we don't have to cry to let you know. It's a playoff game. We don't want to hurt anyone, but it just happens. ”

No one will admit to such a thing as a malicious foul.

Smith also appeared particularly innocent in an interview, "I felt his arm on my shoulder, and I struggled to lean back. He kept pushing, pushing, pushing. Unfortunately, I tried my best to get my arms out of the way and get the best rebounding position, and then we collided. It wasn't malicious, and I didn't try to hurt him or anyone. ”

Zhang Xiaotian harshly criticized the offender's behavior, "I hope everyone on the court will use basketball to duel, I never mind physical contact, but the best fighting action is to go to the fighting ring." ”

Then he showed his determination, "No matter what trouble the team has, we will win it game by game, and no difficulty will bother us." ”

The Cavaliers completed the sweep, and the Wizards did the same, and they still went on top.

The seven-man double-doubled last game against their opponents, and the Wizards didn't give the Raptors any chance in the first quarter.

The Raptors have been on a downward spiral since the second half of the regular season, and the playoffs have been sluggish, with star Lowry hitting low percentage and "Sixth Man of the Year" Williams not showing his regular season style.

Their elimination was not too unexpected, but it was a bit of a shame to be swept away.

The Rockets did not sweep the Mavericks, their opponent in the same district, and the Mavericks' two-guard lineup allowed Monta Ellis to focus on offense.

With strong fire support from the outside, the Mavericks avoided shaving their heads.

After the game, Rockets coach McHale was quite dissatisfied with the team's performance, "We played very poorly tonight, we had a scoring drought, and we even couldn't score for 10 minutes at one point. On the contrary, the Mavericks played well offensively...... We couldn't stop Barria, we were completely loose defensively...... Tonight the Mavericks did deserve more of a victory. ”

"I agree with Coach McHale," Howard said, "that the opponent beat us in every way. We lack energy and we don't work hard enough. We had a good start, but then we played ugly. Now we have to put this ball behind us and start focusing on the next game. ”

Monta Ellis, the Mavericks' winning man, said, "Tonight, we continued to play the game in our favor with continued offense, and everyone came together to do a great job of both the fast break and the rebounding...... Not only me and Nowitzki, but Barria and Aminu also played well. ”

The game between the Clippers and the Spurs continued to be intense and suspenseful.

This time it was the Clippers' turn to win on the road, Chris Paul showed strong individual attacking power, and Griffin also got 20+19 data.

On the Spurs' side, Leonard is still performing well, and Duncan also worked hard to cut down 22 points, 14 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks, but now this Spurs is still missing something.

The team's replacement of the old and the new has been going on, but Popovich doesn't think that the old buddies are no longer good, and Leonard's core tactics have not been thorough, and it was only in the playoffs that he found that the same was no longer good.

On the side of the first Hawks in the East, they were unexpectedly chased by the Nets to a 2:2 draw.

Nets guard Deron Williams was at the top of his game without warning, and his previous performance had not been good, especially after scoring 16 points in the final quarter to return to the top.

Although Millsap hit a key shot to send the score into overtime, the Eagles still lost.

"We really need this kind of performance in the series," DeLong said after the game, "and as a team, we're getting better and better, and it's a great win, but more importantly, we've found a way to win...... It was probably the best game of the season for me and the whole team. ”

Nets coach Hollis was also very excited, "What a classic victory! For me, maybe that's what it's all about doing the sport. ”

Compared to the Nets, the Hawks as a whole looked very disappointed, but outside shooter Korver said, "The series is far from over, and we will learn some lessons from it." Then we will go back to the fifth game at home, we will play better and we will be ourselves again. ”

Inside big man Al Hoford emphasised: "The most important thing for us is to stick together and focus in Game 5. ”

In the game between the Bulls and the Bucks, the Bucks pulled back another game.

Rose wanted to play well, but he really wasn't the MVP he was anymore, and he kept hitting iron and making mistakes, which was one of the main reasons the Bulls lost.

If he is clearly aware of his current state and integrates into the team to reduce singles, it will not be difficult for the Bulls to win the Bucks.

On the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers' side, Lillard, who had not played very well before, was finally revived due to Conley's injury and absence.

He scored 12 points in the final quarter to help the team comeback and not let the Trail Blazers be swept away.

C.J. McLuum continued to play well, and he seemed to be a different person in the playoffs, and he was suddenly powerful, and the Trail Blazers didn't expect it.

In the fifth game between the Rockets and the Mavericks, the Rockets did not give the opponent another chance.

Harden controlled the situation at critical moments, and Howard also defended his dominance on the inside with 18 points, 19 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 blocks.

After the game, Rockets star Harden talked about how it felt in the first-round series, "Every member of our team is hungry to win, and when you have such a great team, you're undoubtedly lucky because everyone on the team is willing to sacrifice to win. ”

Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks, on the other hand, was very disappointed with the result, "In the first half, I had a few good shooting opportunities, but unfortunately I couldn't take them. Although we didn't lag behind much, it was a pity that everyone's efforts could not be exchanged for the final victory. ”

Mavericks coach Carlisle believes that injuries ruined the Mavericks' series.

And the knight, who has been resting for a long time, is quietly waiting for the next opponent.
