The Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 102-93 at home on Sunday and now lead the series 3-1. The team from New York only needs one more success to progress to the top eight teams of this year’s play-offs.
Jalen Brunson was the hosts’ top scorer with 29 points at Madion Square Garden, while RJ Barrett contributed 26 points to the win. Hartenstein only got one point in a good 20 minutes, but he got eight rebounds, blocked two throws, gave two assists and won two balls.
The fifth game in the series takes place in Cleveland on Thursday night.
Barnes forgives the win
The Warriors and Kings, on the other hand, are more balanced, because the Dubs also won both home games, which is why the series is now balanced. The game on Sunday evening was top class, fast and extremely exciting. In the end, Golden State won 126-125. Ex-warrior Harrison Barnes had the victory in his hands, but he only put his three-pointer on the ring shortly before the end.
The champions were led by a strong Steph Curry with 32 points. But Splash Brother Klay Thompson was also convincing with 26 points. The top scorer of the game was De’Aaron Fox from the Kings with 38 points. But in the end he couldn’t buy anything for it.
Signs of life from the T-Wolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves have prevented an early end of the season. Thanks to a 114:108 (48:52) home win after overtime against the Denver Nuggets, the Timberwolves reduced the series to 1:3. Anthony Edwards went ahead with 34 points for the home side, Rudy Gobert grabbed 15 rebounds and finally successfully resisted the strong MVP contender Nikola Jokic (43 points, eleven rebounds).
The Boston Celtics won 129-121 (65-53) at the Atlanta Hawks and only need one win to advance to the second round. Match winners here were the usual players: Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum each scored 31 points for the Celts, the duo were also responsible for the final 16 points for the guests.
