The angry questions for the end of the NBA season
– The last time that Kyrie Irving played in Milwaukee, he injured his ankle in Game 4 of the Conference Semifinals last year. An injury that precipitated the elimination of the Nets in 7 matches when things started well. This time, everything went well for the Brooklyn point guard, who was playing his 15th game of the season.
Kyrie orchestrated the victory for his team with 38 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds at 14/26. However, it is a 3-point basket Bruce Brown which put Brooklyn in the lead with 1:38 remaining. Giannis Antetokounmpo (29 pts, 14 rebounds, 6 wt) missed a winning shot at the buzzer that could have sent the game into overtime.

– Bring Young recovers from the hair of the beast and it is the Raptors who have paid the price. In an attempt to keep Atlanta on the right side of the force, ie in 10th place, the All-Star point guard was sparkling Saturday at home.
His 41 points at 17/24 with 11 assists blew up Toronto in the 3rd quarter, coming off a loss to Chicago in which Young finished at 3/17.

– Ja Morant had decided that the Grizzlies’ visit to Chicago would be an opportunity to pay tribute to Michael Jordan, a great lover of his talent. It’s done, after the recital of the All-Star leader, author of the franchise’s points record in the regular season (46 pts) and some electric actions of which he has the secret.
DeMar DeRozanwho again finished above 30 points (31) but not 50% this time around, couldn’t prevent Memphis from winning, even though the Bulls almost completely erased their 17-point deficit along the way.

– A little embarrassed by Domantas Sabonis, Nikola Jokic nonetheless signed his 16th triple-double of the season (18 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds) and helped the Nuggets win at home against Sacramento. It wasn’t the reigning MVP, however, who scored the most important basket of the game for Denver, but Monte Morris, with a 3-point basket with 28 seconds remaining to take the lead.
– Miami dominated San Antonio in a game that was probably a little too offensive for the taste of the two purists, Gregg Popovich and Erik Spoelstra. Bam Adebayo was particularly bloody (36 pts) and helped to erase the 16-point deficit accused by his team at the start of the match. Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler both added 27 points to bring about the narrow win.
The Heat are alone at the top of the Eastern Conference.
– The Wizards were still leading by 9 points with 6 minutes remaining and appeared to be heading for a win at Cleveland. This is the moment the Cavs have chosen to end their three-game losing streak, with a serious endgame in defense and an effective Markkanen (23 pts) – Allen (18 pts, 14 rebounds) tandem.
Kyle Kuzma still floated for Washington with 8 3-point baskets scored (NBA personal best) and 34 points on the clock.
– A few days ago, Boston had seen its good streak come to an end with an unexpected loss against Detroit. The Celtics took a little revenge by winning on the floor of the Pistons. Again, it was done in pain!
It took until the 4th quarter to overthrow Detroit, handicapped by Cade Cunningham’s foul problem (25 pts in 27 min). The Celtics played 8, with 54 points for the Tatum-Brown tandem and a nice contribution from Payton Pritchard (19 pts) off the bench.
Killian Hayes played 18 minutes off the bench for 3 points and 4 assists.
