The emotions of the\u00a0Conference Semifinals<\/strong>\u00a0of the best basketball in the world, the\u00a0NBA<\/a><\/strong>, continue and, we are in the middle of each of the series, where all the teams have shown why they are in these defining instances and that none is saving any approach right now, since everyone wants to dethrone the\u00a0Bucks<\/strong>, who are the current\u00a0NBA champions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4 series that is being played have been a heart attack, giving us high-voltage games. The teams are playing at an exceptional level, and this assures us that the rest of the games will be much better and that the team that makes the fewest mistakes will be the one that wins this series and advance to the Conference Finals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, only 1 game has been extremely rare, since it does not show at all how this postseason has been. Game #3 between the Warriors and Grizzlies<\/strong> ended with a victory for Golden State with an overwhelming score of 142-112.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conference Semifinals: Dallas Mavericks (2) vs. (2) Phoenix Suns<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best series we have enjoyed the most in these Conference Semifinals <\/strong>is, without a doubt, this one between Mavs and Suns<\/strong>. They are currently 2-2 in the series and head to the Talking Stick Resort Arena<\/strong>, home of the Suns<\/strong>, for Game 5 of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This series began as we all expected, with an intractable Phoenix Suns <\/strong>asserting their status as favorites. In the first game, played last Monday, they relied on Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul to get an excellent victory with a score of 121-114 over the Mavericks<\/strong>, who had a huge Luka Doncic with 45 points and 12 rebounds. The second game of the series went the same way and with the same protagonists. However, this time the score was 129-109 in favor of the Suns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They then traveled to Dallas where the Mavericks<\/strong> managed to bring out their full arsenal and even the series 2-2. In the third game, they displayed a spectacular defensive game that helped them take a very good victory with a score of 103-94, managing to prevent any Suns player from scoring more than 20 points. While Doncic continued to carry his team’s offense, this time with the help of Jalen Brunson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, in the fourth game of the series, the Mavericks<\/strong> continued with their excellent defense. Although Booker managed to score 35 points, he did not have any companions and this catapulted them so that the Mavs <\/strong>evened the series 2-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conference Semifinals: Philadelphia 76ers (2) vs. (2) Miami Heat<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A spectacular series was predicted before starting these Conference Semifinals<\/strong> between the Sixers<\/strong> and the Heat<\/strong> and, they have not disappointed us, since they have shown such a spectacular level of play that they reach the 5th game of the series tied 2-2, at Just like the Suns and Mavs<\/strong>. This series has been, literally, the same as that of the Suns and Mavericks<\/strong>, since the teams that have played at home in the games are the ones that have managed to take the respective victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Games<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the first game, the Miami Heat <\/strong>came out with everything and, supported by a spectacular inside game by Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro as a shock from the bench, they managed to win with a score of 106-92. The second game was almost the same way as the first, but this time, the Heat <\/strong>were able to rely on their top star Jimmy Butler, who managed to score 22 points to help Adebayo (23 points) and again with Herro helping from the bench with 18 points, to take the victory with a score of 119-103, while the Sixers<\/strong> had Maxey with 34 points, Harris with 21 and Harden with 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arriving in Philadelphia<\/strong>, things changed and the Sixers<\/strong> came back to tie the series at 2-2 thanks to the excellent performance of James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, and the recovery of their star Joel Embiid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-game three, the Sixers<\/strong> managed to set up a practically impenetrable defensive system for the Heat<\/strong>, who could only score 79 points in the game. The Heat<\/strong> only had Jimmy Butler at his highest level of play, scoring 33 points, while the rest of the team, only Herro managed to exceed 10 points with a total of 14. While the Sixers<\/strong> leaned on Danny Green and Tyrese Maxey with 21 points each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the fourth game was heart-stopping and both teams played at an incredible level.\u00a0The Heat<\/strong>, with a huge Butler with 40 points and Bam Adebayo with 21, did not have more support from their teammates. and ended up falling 108-116 against the\u00a0Sixers<\/strong>\u00a0who saw James Harden and Joel Embiid carry each of their team’s offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conference Semifinals: Milwaukee Bucks (2) vs. (1) Boston Celtics<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This series between Bucks and Celtics<\/strong> is, for many, the best of this stage, since these are the two teams that are at the best possible level of play this NBA season<\/strong>. Like the other series, this one has not disappointed us and has given us 3 games that have been full of many emotions and tensions, which currently has a 2-1 advantage for the current NBA champions<\/strong>, Milwaukee Bucks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the series began at the TD Garden<\/strong>, home of the Celtics<\/strong>, we all know the spectacular potential that the Milwaukee Bucks<\/strong> bring out in postseason games. And so it was, the first game of this series was a spectacular victory for the Bucks<\/strong> with a score of 101-89 with Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo carrying their team’s offense with 25 and 24 points, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bucks<\/strong> thought to go home with the series 2-0 in their favor, but Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown spoiled the party in the second game and achieved a spectacular victory with a score of 109-86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the series tied at 1-1, the Bucks<\/strong> headed home to the Fiserv Forum<\/strong> for Game 3. One of the best games that we have been able to enjoy in this postseason, since the Bucks<\/strong> took a hard-fought victory with a score of 103-101, with Anteto charging his team with 42 points, while the Celtics<\/strong> had Al Horford and Jaylen Brown with 22 and 27 points, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth game of the series, the second at the Fiserv Forum<\/strong>, will be played today, Monday, May 9, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conference Semifinals: Golden State Warriors (2) vs. (1) Memphis Grizzlies<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We all know that in this part of the season the Warriors<\/strong> are one of the favorite teams to win the NBA championship ring<\/strong> this season and, so far, they have shown us that their level of play is still exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series began at the home of the Grizzlies<\/strong> and everything was given so that the locals could start with a victory. What’s more, until the last minute of the game they could still get the victory, but the Warriors<\/strong> managed to get the caste and their experience in these instances, and, with the help of Jordan Poole and Steph Curry, they took the victory with a very tight score of 117-116.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this upset, the Grizzlies <\/strong>knew they needed to change several aspects of their game if they were to even the series at home and avoid going 0-2. Although Game 2 was extremely close and either could win it, Ja Morant scored 47 points as the Grizzlies cruised to victory 106-101.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the series tied at 1-1, they moved to the\u00a0Chase Center<\/strong>, where the\u00a0Warriors\u00a0<\/strong>are a practically impossible team to defeat, and, in this first game, they showed it. After two very close games that ended with a close result,\u00a0the Warriors\u00a0<\/strong>deployed their entire arsenal in this match and relied on 30 points from Curry, 27 from Poole, 21 from Thompson, 18 from Kuminga, and 17 from Wiggins. They crushed the Grizzlies<\/strong> with a score of 142-112, placing the series in their favor 2-1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
