NBA Play-offs: Boston wins again, Houston recovers Golden State

Three contests valid for the NBA playoffs played on the night. Boston managed to beat Orlando again (109-100) and thus take a 2-0 lead in the series. Sumptuous performance by Brown who finished with 36 points (12/19 from the field) and 10 rebounds. On the other side, an excellent Banchero (32 points, nine rebounds and seven assists) was not enough.

Good success also for Cleveland, which again got rid of Miami (121-112), flying to 2-0 in the series. The Heat played a very good game, however, so much so that they found themselves ahead with a few minutes left in the third quarter. It was Mitchell (30 points, with seven threes on the scoreboard) who extinguished Miami’s dreams of victory.

“I’ve worked hard to be at the top in these moments. You’re tired or you’re not at your best but you put your head down and do what you have to do” the words of Cavs star Mitchell, reported by ESPN. Mitchell, in the first two playoff contests, scored 30 points per shoelace.

Ransom Houston. After losing Game 1, the Rockets beat the Warriors in the second act of the series (109-94) and move back into a tie (1-1). Jalen Green was the star of the game with 33 points in the game (eight triples scored). In Golden State’s house, Curry finished with 20 points. Of note was the’injury to Butler, who exited in the first quarter and never returned.
