This Suns vs Timberwolves game has been pretty close with plenty of lead changes. All the superstars are having great games. This one is fun to watch. Durant and KAT especially are having great games.
Yeah, very close.

Remaining time is 7:38 minutes in the 4th quarter and Edwards has got 20+ points and still a lot of time remaining. While Booker got 42 points.

This could be an OT later.

I was hoping for an OT but Suns could not convert their shots, the defense of Timberwolves is so good. Now, this team who exited will still be the same team next season, I wonder how the management would feel after investing a lot of money for the big 3 that they could not get a first round pick. They are getting old, and they lack players especially the 2nd unit who could help Durant and Booker, I don't know how they'll work that out next season but they have to.
It seems that the game was going there but it didn't, a lot of turnovers and missed free throws for the Suns.

Anyway, congratulations to TWolves for sweeping the Suns that are going to pay hundreds of millions close to half to their three superstars for this result.

That's the risk of forming a Superteam, because when a team choose to build a Superteam, it's expected that they'll be in the championship but a first round exit, is a big disappointment. Giving up Ayton was a big mistake, he was a very dominant big man so they really miss a production on that area.

Also, the team has no real point guard, so the ball movement is really a problem. It's fine that CP3 was traded but the big man, I think it should have not happen. Also, Beal seemed not the same anymore, his injury have change his confidence, he is just like Klay Thompson now.

It's better than the game ended that way so they will not expect anymore. Suns were able to limit ANT early but he exploded in the 2nd half where it's winning time. I don't see the Suns being hunger anymore, they don't play with great chemistry and it was really their defense which is a big problem.

Booker scored 49 and Durant had 33, but it's not enough because one of the big 3 Bradley Beal only score 9 points. Sorry to say but IMO, he has become a liability of the team, no wonder he got traded from his old team. So next season maybe one of the big 3 will be traded.

Losing in 4-1 record is better than losing in 4-0. They will still lose anyway because no teams  yet in the history of the NBA have come back from a 0-3 deficit. Yes, Durant and Booker really put up a good numbers but if we look at the full scoreboards, it's pretty evident that the bench have a very few contribution.

In fact, if we look again, only 2 players are in double digit for the Suns while the Timberwolves have 4. That's the evidence that the Suns are not moving the ball well or not playing like a team, so they can't really win.

A sweep!
Phoenix Suns is already out of the playoffs. Timberwolves is going to get into the semis and they're likely to face Denver Nuggets once they're done with the Lakers.
What a turn of event for the Coach of Timberwolves when Conley has jumped on him and hit him with his knee. While it's like a few minutes left on the game, their coach Chris Finch is injured but I hope that he does recover and it's nothing serious at all and they still have time to take a rest.
And with all of this seasons roster changes, KD with the Suns together with Booker and Beal as said to be a superteam, it seems that the Timbewolves is more of the superteam that we're all not expecting to come into this far. But what's next for KD? Is he going to make some transfer request and he'd sign back to the OKC as it's more of an interesting than the Suns for this playoffs.

Watched a few of the games so far tonight. Decent games. Was surprised seeing the Clippers take out the Mavs, and tying up the series. Definitely interested in how that series is going to end up. Then watched the Knicks and Sixers games a bit. Still kinda hard to believe the Knicks have been doing so well, especially getting a 2 seed. Will be interesting to see how these other games play out.

Playoff Paul George and Harden's Houston version show up in this game. It was George who carry them in the first half and then Harden's becoming a scoring like he was still in his Houston's day against the Warriors in the playoff.

So this series is evenly match as this point, and it's really hard to see who is going to win the series.

Kawhi is out, but still PG and Harden are good to match what Luka and Irving can do. They silence the Maverick crowd with this big win.

Not that I believe Lakers would win the series, I think the series has been long over for a long time now and next game will be at Denver, with that famous altitude, and I believe that Denver will end up winning that game.
There is no way to control the entire series but happy to see Lakers at least get that win instead of having a big egg on their standings with Denver Nuggets for each playoffs they face each other.

It is so hard to stop Murray and Jokic together, and they are doing so well now.
Still an underrated tandem that many of the NBA fans don't recognize. But as they say, this series is like to end with a 4-1.
Yes, they proved that they are the series winner from game number to game number 3.
Even Knicks versus 76ers, there's a 3-1 in the series. Especially the next game of Denver versus Lakers is in the home of Denver, such an advantage for game 5 or do or die game.

Clippers - Mavericks match is very competitive. If the Clippers win this game, the series will be 2-2, but if the Mavs manage to win at home, they will bring the series to 3-1 and pretty much finish the job. This could be the breaking match of the series. That's why it's very normal for both teams to put their hearts into the field. The Clippers, who score with George and Harden while Kawhi is out, also receive contributions from Westbrook. In the Mavericks, Kyrie and Doncic score a lot, but the rest of the team shoots very poorly.

Clippers won the game and got a break in Dallas. Now its 2-2 and i think we might see all 7 games in the duel. Dallas was able to comeback in the match but in the end they couldnt win the match. Harden played an amazing finish of the game and probobly won the Clippers the match with some clutch points.

Huge comeback by Dallas but still fail in the end. That was a 31 point lead by the Clippers they gave up, that might have hunt them if they loss in that game. Now the series is tied, and it's all because of Kawhi Leonard, LOL.. he didn't play on the games the Clippers had won, game 1 and 4, so it's an important decision if coach Lue will play him in game 5 if he is available. I believe if the Cliippers wants to win, they should stick with the current line up, they don't need a less than 100% Leonard in the game. I know Dallas will make an adjustment in game 5, so homecourt is not anymore an advantage here as either team had won a road game in this 4 games that was concluded.

After this win, things are still not as good as they could be for the Lakers because the probability of them winning the series has only increased from 0% to 4.6%. By the way, it's noteworthy that the Nuggets were the last team that was able to recover and win a series after a 1-3 deficit. That was in 2020, and they did it twice during that playoff run.

Well, they can have a real hype on this one since they still have a chance and they no longer worry about getting swept by the Nuggets this year. They should really focus on doing the same thing when they face them in the Nuggets' home court because that's when they are in do-or-die situations, they should exert all effort not to get behind by double digits, or else they will go to a hard time to catch up throughout the quarters.

This is not good, Knicks beat the Sixers and the series is now 3-1 in favor of the Knicks.

Brunson scored    47 points, probably a playoffs high for him. I can't believe the Sixers being a good defensive team was not able to stop Brunson, now they are in a dangerous situation as next game will be at the home of the Knicks, and it's likely that they will lose since Knicks had taken the first 2 games in the series. Great season start for the Sixers but then again they just proved that they still are not a good playoffs team.

What a crazy game.  Yes 47 is his playoff high and actually a knicks franchise high in the playoffs...ever.  Dude is slowly climbing the all time kncims ranks and he has only been on the team 2 years lol.  In all seriousness they had hartenstein out all 4th quarter with 5 fouls and no mitch today.  They had precious Achiuwa in all quarter and barely ever went into the post.  Knicks dominated the offensive boards.  I think one series down they had 5 different offensive boards.  I'm a Knicks fan so I might be bias but this Knicks team beats you in so many ways.

This team is legit, honestly, I underestimated them as I believe that Brunson isn't as good as the legit superstars, you can't blame me because he is not even an all star starter but night in, night out, he just showed how good he is and could really carry the team like a legit superstar. I don't know if there's someone in the team now in the playoffs like him, I think he is the only one with one supertar in the team that could drop 30 to 40 points in a game and this is in a low scoring game. BTW, congratulations, seems like your team are gonna advance in the 2nd round easily.

LeBron saves his ass from those critics who are waiting for another sweep, they've got a good game shooting percentages which they really need to survive against the Nuggets, seems that they find that adjustments but winning one game won't conclude the series they need 3 more to take this and snatch it from the defending champ.

coming from 3-0 then win the series, if LeBron will manage to do this his legacy will then create a new one, he's breaking records from time to time and if ever he will win another title surely fans will praise him.
He's used to critics and bashing fans, that's how business in the NBA world goes and being an athlete he already knew it that whether you do good, a clutch or make the team win for a single game. You'll always have some people don't like what you're doing.

While the fans of his are happy together with the Lakers fans as well.

On the otherhand, only a few people talking about the OKC's victory against the Pelicans where it is now 3-0. Well, it's just that there's too many games out there in the playoffs to pay attention.
