NBA record: Hartenstein’s Thunder beat back into playoffs
Was what? After the defeat at the start of the Denver Nuggets, the Oklahoma City Thunder overflow their opponent and set up an NBA record. The defending champion, on the other hand, has difficulties.
With a furious performance, the Oklahoma City Thunder around the German Center Isaiah Hartenstein reported back in the NBA playoffs. In the series against the Denver Nuggets, OKC won the second game with 149:106 and returned to the defeat of the opening.
In the meantime, Hartenstein’s team had an incredible 48 point and scored more than any other team in the NBA Playoff story with 87 points in the first half. In the end, Hartenstein came up to 14 points and 8 rebounds. The best thrower of the hosts was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 34 points.
The Nuggets around Nikola Jokic lost any access to the game in the first quarter and were 21:45 behind after twelve minutes. At the break it was 87:56 for OKC, which had given up and lost the first encounter of the best-of-Seven series after a big lead. This time, however, there was no doubt about the victory, which was also the first home win of a team in the second round of the playoffs.
Knicks also win the second game in Boston
The New York Knicks in Boston had previously won the second victory against the Celtics and put the defending champion under massive pressure. The hosts played a 20-point lead again at the 90:91. The Knicks took the lead 1:59 minutes before the end thanks to a 19: 2 run.
Jayson Tatum brought the Celtics forward again with a dunk, but lost the ball to Mikal Bridges in the final seconds after the new deficit. In the first game, he had successfully prevented a last attempt by the Celtics in the first game and also achieved all of his 14 points in the final quarter.
In the other series of the NBA playoffs, too, there have been only victories for the guest teams-with the exception of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
