Already led 2-0 in the series, the Raptors managed to win the buzzer against Boston. In great form, the Kawhi Leonard Clippers easily beat the Denver Nuggets.
At the foot of the wall, the Toronto Raptors reacted as the champions they are. Asphyxiated at the start of this semi-final of the Eastern Conference, the players of Nick Nurse, elected coach of the year a few days ago, presented themselves this night in a very bad position since they were already led 2 to 0 by Boston . At the end of a very close match marked by the very big performance of Kyle Lowry, author of 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, the Canadian franchise thought well that this Game 3 was going to escape him again after the Celtics scored a decisive basket in order to take 2 points in advance with only half a second to play. It was without counting on the prodigy OG Anunoby who, served on a throw-in from his leader, successfully unleashed a 3-point shoot that allows his team to beat the Celtics 104 to 103. Past very close to the correctional, the Raptors may have managed to switch a series very badly embarked for them. Suffice to say that Game 4 promises to be particularly explosive …

The intractable Clippers
Winner of a series as beautiful for the fans as it is exhausting for the players against the Utah Jazz, Denver could not do anything this night for the first game of their semi-final of the Western Conference against the Clippers. Led by a Kawhi Leonard author of 29 points and who will clearly not have had to force his talent, the franchise of Los Angeles has won 120 to 97, a gap definitively acquired during the 3rd quarter without Jamal Murray nor , nor Nikola Jokic, can reverse the trend. Favorites and well helped by the fatigue accumulated by their opponents, the Clippers seem well on their way to impose their superiority in this series.
KAWHI. ????
