On May 5, the series between the Suns and the Lakers will continue.

Different from the last game, the Suns' three-point shooting finally returned to normal in this game. They made 10 of 24 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 41.7%!

In addition, Kobe also transformed into a magician, sending out 13 assists and only making 2 turnovers.
Nash of the Suns only had 15 assists and 5 turnovers in the game.
When the Lakers play to this point, no one can beat them!
The Lakers are able to perform so well, firstly because of their good touch, and also because the Suns' defense is really not that good.
After two games, the score between the Lakers and Suns became 2:0!
The process of the two Western Conference series is the same.

The Cavaliers are playing away from home, and the Green Army's home court is one of the most difficult to conquer in the league!
And it is said that James’ injury is not optimistic!
Under such circumstances, the Cavaliers actually defeated the Celtics, which surprised many people.
With this victory, the general manager of the Cavaliers contacted Deng Fang again and asked for a reduction in fees.
Our James has no big problem!
Don’t be afraid if you don’t get treatment!
You can still make money even if you take less money!
If you insist on asking for so much more, we will not treat you!
Deng Fang expressed hehe.
Who are you trying to scare?
I don’t know how we got here!
Traveler!
The most awesome existence in the world!
I know your worth!
If I don't treat James, you will definitely lose this series in the end!
When you are in a hurry!
Seeing that Deng Fang didn't care, the general manager of the Cavaliers had no choice but to hang up the phone.
Let's wait a few more days to see if Deng Fang is faking it.
As long as you win, you are not afraid.
When you lose, let’s talk about it when you can’t hold on any longer!

In the end, the Magic defeated the Hawks 105:75.
Although Howard's free throws showed their true colors, making 9 of 18 free throws in the game, returning to a 50% shooting percentage, but with the performance of the entire team, the Magic still led the Hawks by a large margin in all statistics.
This kind of data comparison can clearly see how the Eagles were pinned to the ground and rubbed.
After this game, the series score between the Magic and the Hawks became 3:0. The Hawks were already standing on the edge of the cliff, and there was no suspense in the series.
The second game is the third game of the series between the Jazz and the Warriors.
At 7:30 p.m., the game between the Warriors and Jazz started on time at the Energy Solutions Arena.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains unchanged, with Curry, Azubuike, Laga Bell, Prince and Lopez.
The Jazz have changed their starting lineup again. The five players on the field are: Deron Williams, C.J. Miles, Matthews, Korver and Millsap.
This is a super small lineup with strong offensive firepower and fast defensive speed.
Miles, Matthews and Korver are all very reliable three-point shooters!
Deron and Millsap are both capable of bursting and shooting, and their pick-and-rolls also change a lot, making them very difficult to guard against.
The Jazz have used this lineup before, and the offensive effect was good, but the defensive end was badly repaired by Lopez.
But that was the lineup that was forced to be used in the second half. The players were not well prepared and Millsap's physical strength was not very good.
This lineup is now used in the opening game. The Jazz players are very well prepared, and Millsap's physical strength is not a problem.
Obviously, the Jazz realize that there is no point in fighting the Warriors on defense. Only offense can win.
The scores of the first two games were 135:108 and 131:106 respectively.
The Jazz tried various methods but could not prevent the Warriors' offense, allowing the Warriors to average more than 130 points per game.
Since you can't defend yourself, let's attack!
As long as I score more points than you!
You have a three-point shooter, so do I!
You are a senior and a junior, and so am I!
If you stab me, I'll stab you too!
Let's not defend, let's see who can last until the end!
