Once again, è Murray to win the game for the Nuggets

The LA Lakers’ path in the NBA post season has è already ended. The yellowviola were beaten in Game 5 by the Nuggets (108-106) and, as a result, were eliminated (4-1). James plays a remarkable game (30 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists). Davis, not at his best (17 points and 15 rebounds), also fought like a lion. However, it was the Nuggets who came through.

As happened in Game 2, è Murray (in doubt until a few minutes before the start of the match) who knocked out the LA Lakers. It was his basket that, with four seconds left, eliminated James and his teammates. Murray finished with 32 points and seven assists. Jokic’s usual contribution: 25 points, 20 rebounds and nine assists). Now Denver will face Minnesota.

Sharp victory for Boston, which, in the fifth act of the series with Miami, wins 102-88, taking a 3-1 lead in the series. Heat dominated from the first bars, thanks to an amazing White, author of 38 points (8/15 from three). Tatum (20 points) and Brown (17) also did well. The only blemish was the injury suffered by Porzingis (there is talk of a possible calf strain for the long green-and-white).

It was also all easy for OKC, which also swept New Orleans in Game 4 (97-89) and closed the series with a dry 4-0 run. Strong performances by Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams, both scoring 24 points. The Thunder manage to reach the second round of the postseason for the first time since back in 2016.
