NBA Play-offs: Denver gets back ahead of OKC, Cleveland shortens lead on Indiana

Two contests were played on NBA playoff semifinal night. In the West, after the clear knockout in Game 2, Denver managed to assert the home court factor by taking Game 3 with OKC at’OT. Decisive in the Nuggets house Murray, Jokic, Porter Jr and Gordon with more than 20 points apiece. In the Thunder ranks, however, the 32 points and double-doubles of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein were not enough.

In the East, on the other hand, after two home losses, Cleveland got off to a good start on the road by beating Indiana, thus shortening the series. The Cavs got Darius Garland and Evan Mobley back, but taking the franchise on his shoulders once again was Donovan Mitchell, who ended the match with 43 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. In the Pacers’ house, on the other hand, it was a night to forget for Tyrese Haliburton, who did not go beyond 4 points with a very bad 2/8 from the field.
