Semi-final situation: The Warriors and Nuggets were tied 1-1 in the West, while the Eastern Cavaliers and Celtics were in danger 0-2 in the East

On May 9, with the Timberwolves easily defeating Wukuyong in the second game of the Western Conference semi-finals, they successfully scored 1-1. At present, the semi-finals in the east and west areas ended the first four games, with the Western Conference 1-1 1 in two groups. The Thunder and the Timberwolves both lost one game first and then rebounded and won a big victory, successfully tying the total score, returning to the same starting line with the Nuggets and Warriors. In contrast, the Cavaliers, the top two in the Eastern Conference and the defending champion Celtics are currently behind 0-2 in their home games, so they are naturally facing the risk of being eliminated by the Black Eight.

The Western Conference two groups 1-1

Thunder 1-1 Nuggets

The Thunder missed 14 points to lead, and made consecutive "mistakes" at the last moment, especially choosing to compete with the Nuggets for free throws. As a result, Homegren missed two fatal free throws, resulting in Gordon's three-pointer, Jaylen failed to defeat the final three-pointer, and the Thunder lost one game 119-121.

Fortunately, in the second Western Conference semi-finals, the Thunder led 24 points in the first quarter, 31 points in the first half, and 49 points at most. Alexander led the team to score in double-digit scores, and the Thunder beat the Nuggets 149-106 and 43 points, and also reached a total score of 1-1.

Timberwolves 1-1 Warriors

Warriors in the first game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals. Even though Curry retired due to injury, the Warriors used an excellent three-point shot to suppress the Timberwolves and scored a maximum of 23 points to lead. The Warriors blocked the Timberwolves' tenacious pursuit and finally won the game 99-88.

It was just that due to Curry's injury, he missed the second Western Conference semi-finals. The Timberwolves suppressed the Warriors early and expanded their 22-point lead in the second quarter. Even though Kumingga broke out in the second half and once led the Warriors to the single-digit gap, the Timberwolves soon blossomed inside and outside and opened the score again, and continued to expand the 20-point lead in the first three quarters. The Timberwolves continued to control the situation in the final quarter, thus easily defeating the Warriors to tie the total score 1-1. Considering that Curry still needs to recover from his injuries, the Timberwolves are expected to take advantage of the victory in the subsequent game.

The Eastern two groups 0-2

Cavaliers 0-2 Pacers

Compared with the Western two groups, the series of the Western two groups maintained a total score of 1-1. The Cavaliers, the number one in the Eastern Conference, were extremely sad. They suffered consecutive injuries. Garland, who has lost one of the backcourt cores in two consecutive games, plus inside core Mobley and sixth man Hunter missed the second game.

Knights of the Remnant Formation encountered the Pacers who "exploded". They lost one game 112-121 in the first game, and the second game was 119-120 and were defeated by the Pacers 20-point reversal. At the end of the moment, they were defeated by Halliburton's magical 1+3. The Cavaliers lost two consecutive home games and fell behind 0-2 in total, and the team's current injury problems put them in danger of being eliminated by the Black Eighth.

Celtics 0-2 Knicks

defending champion Celtics were originally generally favored, especially because they swept the Knicks 4-0 in the regular season, and it was considered that there was no big problem in crushing the Knicks. However, in the first two games of the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Celtics were reversed by the Knicks for two consecutive games, becoming the first team in history to be reversed by 20 points in two consecutive games in the playoffs, and have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Of course, the Celtics currently have a complete lineup. Although they are currently behind in the total score of 0-2 at home, there is still a possibility of a counterattack. As long as the Celtics can adjust in time, they still have the possibility of turning the tables and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.
