Spectacle and great excitement on the night regarding the NBA playoffs. After losing the first two games, Boston manages to beat New York (115-93 the final) and get back in the game (2-1 in favor of the Knicks in the series).

Competition practically dominated by the Celtics, who even reach +31, certifying complete superiority on both sides of the court. The reigning NBA Champions rediscover the 3-point shot: 20/40 in Game 3 (five by Tatum). Also excellent proof of the white-covered Pritchard, author of 23 points. On the other side, the usual Brunson is not enough. The Knicks all-star finished with 27 points but with a not-excellent 9/21 shooting).

Always without its leader Curry (injured, could return for Game 6, assuming they play), Golden State surrenders to Minnesota (102-97 the final) and finds itself down in the series (2-1 to the T’Wolves who had lost Game 1).

Victory of character by Minnesota, which asserts itself especially in rebounding and makes very few mistakes in the last minutes of the game. Warriors also doomed by Green’s exit from the court, for six fouls, with 4’38” to play in the fourth period. Stellar performance by Edwards with an impressive 36 points on the scoreboard (with five triples scored). Randle’s triple-double should also be highlighted: 24 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds (decisive in the convulsive finale).
