With the NBA postseason still in its first week we had two fantastic games from Monday night’s slate of games as the Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves. Let’s go through each game and give a brief summary of how these games played out.
First game of the night we had was the Los Angeles Lakers taking on the feisty Memphis Grizzlies, the Grizzlies without superstar Ja Morant beat the Lakers 103-93 to even the series 1-1. With Grizzlies forward Xavier Tillman having a career night with a 22 point double double which helped Memphis dominate the paint in this game. With Morant out for some time with a hand injury sustained in game 1 it looks like Memphis should be just fine without him.
Next up we had the Milwaukee Bucks taking on the Miami Heat without superstar Giannis ANTETOKOUNMPO. The Bucks without their superstar still beat the Heat 138-122 thanks to several Bucks players scoring in double digits, even Brook Lopez and Jrue Holiday had double doubles in this game to tie this series up and steal one without their best player.
Lastly we had the Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves as Nuggets star Jamal Murray had himself a game with 40 points on efficient shooting. This was a great overall performance by the Nuggets as five players scored in double digits and Nikola Jokic was very close to a 27 point triple double. Nuggets take a commanding 2-0 series lead.
