Yellowhawks thank Japan’s Hachimura
Spectacle on NBA playoff night. Big win for the LA Clippers, who won on the Phoenix court (115-110), taking home Game 1. A great performance by Leonard, who closed the match with 38 points on the scoreboard. On the other side, a 27-point Durant total was not enough.
LA Lakers also won game 1, imposing themselves at home in Memphis (128-112 the final). James finished with 21 points but the hero of the game was Japanese Hachimura who, starting from the bench, put up 29 points. Accomplice to Antetokounmpo’s exit after only one quarter (back problem), Miami takes home the challenge with Milwaukee (130-117). Finally, it was all easy for Denver, which won Game 1 with a dry 109-80 victory over Minnesota.
