Boston-New York clash for Eastern pride…Oklahoma-Denver battle of Western powerhouses
The Boston-New York game is a battle for pride in the Eastern Conference. The Game 2, held at TD Garden at 8 a.m. (Korean time) on May 8, already foreshadows a fierce atmosphere. In Game 1, the visiting New York overcame a deficit of up to 20 points and won 108-105 after a closely contested overtime.
Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby each scored 29 points and played a critical role in the team’s victory. In contrast, Boston struggled with their long-range shooting, making only 15 out of 60 attempts from beyond the arc. Kristaps Porzingis was scoreless and absent after the middle of the game, revealing a gap in the team's strength.
The Oklahoma-Denver game will take place on the same day at 10:30 a.m. at Paycom Center. Oklahoma recorded the best winning percentage in the league with a regular season record of 68 wins and 14 losses, demonstrating overwhelming strength, and they swept Memphis 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs.
In the first game held prior to the second game, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 33 points and 10 rebounds. However, they allowed Denver to come from behind with just over four minutes left in the game. Nikola Jokic of Denver had a stellar performance with 40 points and 22 rebounds, while Aaron Gordon sealed the win with a crucial three-pointer, concluding the game at 121-119.
