With the NBA postseason still in its first week we had two fantastic games from Monday night’s slate of games as the Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat and the Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers. 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 Phoenix Suns taking on the Los Angeles Clippers as the Suns took a commanding 3-1 series lead with a 112-100 win on Saturday afternoon. With Clippers star Lawhi Leonard out again it looks like he may not play the rest of this series, Suns superstars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker both have 30 point games.
Secondly we had the Philadelphia 76ers sweeping the Brooklyn Nets in 4-0 fashion. With 76ers star Joel Embiid missing this game due to a lower body injury the Sixers still took care of the Nets rather quickly. Multiple Philadelphia players had double doubles including Paul Reed, James Harden and Tobias Harris.
Next up we had the Miami Heat taking on the Milwaukee Bucks in which the Heat won 121-99 to take a 2-1 series lead. With Giannis ANTETOKOUNMPO missing this game it was in no shock that the Heat would win, especially on their home court. With Heat superstar Jimmy Butler having a massive game once again he carried Miami to another victory.
Lastly we had the Los Angeles Lakers taking on the Memphis Grizzlies in Los Angeles, the Lakers beat the Grizzlies 111-101 as Anthony Davis had 31 point double double. Even though the Grizzlies lost Ja Morant still had a spectacular game and finished with a 45 point double double as he was dealing with multiple broken fingers in his shooting hand that he suffered early in game 1 of this series.
