Warriors vs Grizzlies
The Golden State Warriors edge out the Memphis Grizzlies 101-98 to take a 3-1 series lead Monday night. With Ja Morant being out of the lineup with a knee injury he suffered late in game 3, Memphis was big underdogs without their All-Star point guard, and to no surprise the Grizzlies lost last night but it was a very close game up until the end. With Stephen Curry leading the way with 32, 5 and 8 assists, the rest of the Warriors key pieces didn’t exactly have good games like Klay Thompson he finished with 14 points but shot 0-7 from three, Draymond Green didn’t have a good statline game but made a crucial block at the end, and Jordan Poole struggled once again with 14 points on 4-12 shooting.
Even though the Grizzlies lost I would feel good about this game, they only lost by 3 without Ja Morant and them being on Golden State’s home court. I still think this series is over but Memphis surprised a lot of people and can build off of this year.
Bucks vs Celtics
Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics win game 4 with a 116-108 win over the Bucks in Milwaukee to knot the series up at 2-2. This was a huge game for Boston because if they don’t win they go down 3-1 and the series is effectively over but that’s not the case as Boston all of a sudden is looking good, tying the series up 2-2 and heading back home for game 5.Al Horford and Tatum had killer games combing for 60 points and 28 combined in the fourth quarter. Even though the Bucks lost Giannis Antetokounmpo had a good game, finishing with 34, 18 and 5 assists, other than Giannis the Bucks struggled last night with the second highest scorer being Jrue Holiday finishing with 16 points on 5-22 shooting {22.7%} which is awful.
Al Horford has been a monster in the playoffs thus far and Boston is looking real dangerous if Horford continues to play this way. The Bucks have really been missing Kris Middleton this series and it’s starting to show how much Middleton means to this team.
