The Warriors won and the Thunder also had a big win on the road.
Historically, the Thunder lost this game on the road, but because of Westbrook's return, the Rockets were unable to stop the Thunder's offense, resulting in a disastrous defeat.
Westbrook, who returned with full blood, played with anger. He ran all over the court, shot decisively, and hit the basket very resolutely. Even Beverley couldn't stop him even with several vicious fouls.
Harden played well and was still excellent at drawing fouls, but Durant performed equally well, winning 13 free throws with his long-famous giant swing.
Without Westbrook, the Thunder would have had to work hard to win against the Rockets, but with Westbrook back, there would be no suspense in the game.
After winning this game, the score between the two teams became 3:0, and the Thunder is expected to advance.
…
The game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies was very close, and the two teams didn't decide the winner until the last moment.
The Grizzlies played very well back at home. They integrated internally and externally, cooperated with each other tacitly, and maintained a high intensity on both offense and defense.
However, the Spurs' tactical quality is not bad at all, or even higher. Coupled with the GDP combination, the two teams are evenly matched and have been fighting.
In the last minute of the game, the Grizzlies led by 2 points. The Spurs missed two consecutive attacks. However, Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound for the third time. Ginobili caught the ball and shot from outside the three-point line and hit a hollow basketball. The Spurs went ahead by one point.
.
There was only 1 second left in the game, and the Grizzlies were in danger.
After the timeout, the Grizzlies served from the frontcourt. The Spurs focused on Conley and the Black and White Bears. Who expected Prince to catch the ball and shoot in the open space? The basketball bounced on the basket twice and rolled in. Prince
Killed the Spurs!
This is just luck, no one can do anything about it.
As a result, the score between the two teams became 2:1, and the Grizzlies regained a victory.
…
The game between the Nuggets and Clippers was equally surprising, because the Nuggets played away from home and won!
This game was played at the home court of the Clippers. Returning to the home court of the Lob City, everyone thought the Clippers would win.
Who would have thought that the Nuggets, who had everyone on their side, would perform better. They took advantage from the start and threw in several unreasonable three-pointers. Then they turned up the intensity and kept suppressing the Clippers and took the lead.
The advantage was maintained until the end.
The biggest contributor to the Nuggets' victory was Gallinari. He made full use of his height advantage, constantly hitting mid-range shots or causing damage, and scored a game-high 28 points!
The gap between the two teams was not big to begin with, but the Nuggets are obviously better in strength after welcoming back Gallinari, and it is not surprising to win.

In the East, the Heat won another victory on the road with 104:91.
The Bucks performed well in this game, with 6 players on the team scoring in double figures, and 5 players on the Heat team scoring in double figures.
The reason why the Bucks lost was that their efficiency was too low, especially the double shots in the backcourt. Jennings made 5 of 15 shots and only scored 16 points, while Monta Ellis made 2 of 9 shots and only scored 7 points.
The two-gun defense in the backcourt is poor and the offensive efficiency is low. It is basically impossible for the Bucks to win.
The best performer for the Heat was Ray Allen, who made 8 of 14 shots and scored a team-high 23 points.
The Heat could have won more easily, but Wade performed very poorly. He made 1 of 12 shots and only scored 4 points!
Although Wade sent out 11 assists, he also made 6 turnovers.
No matter what, the Heat won, and it didn't matter that Wade didn't perform well.
This is the advantage of the Big Three. If one doesn't perform well, the other two will support him!
…
The No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference won the game, and the No. 2 Knicks also won the away game.
This game was very surprising. Everyone thought that the Celtics would cheer up and pull back a victory when they returned to their home court. Who would have thought that they would fall behind again.
The reason why the Celtics lost was because of their poor offense.
The Celtics' top scorer is Jeff Green. He scored 21 points, which is already the highest score for the Celtics.
When the Celtics' leading scorer is Jeff Green, it means Pierce and Garnett are being guarded.
Under the Knicks' defense, the Celtics' offense was very poor. They made 6 of 19 three-pointers and a shooting percentage of only 31.6%, while the Knicks made 11 of 27 shooting and a shooting percentage of 40.7%!
In addition, the Celtics without Rondo had 6 more turnovers and 8 fewer assists than the Knicks.
In the end, the Knicks won the game 90:76, and the series score became 3:0. The Knicks were in sight of advancing.
…
Even worse than the Celtics were the third-place Pacers. They only scored 69 points on the road and suffered a disastrous defeat.
Both the Pacers and the Hawks are civilian teams, and neither has a superstar to lead the team. Therefore, if you want to win, you have to defend and also depend on luck.
The Eagles did a very good job on the defensive end in this game, guarding the Pacers to death, especially the outside three-pointers. Under the defense of the Eagles, the Pacers' three-point shooting rate was only a pitiful 16%!
Even in terms of field goal percentage, the Pacers only had 27.2%, which is quite pitiful!
Although the Eagles' shooting percentage is not high, with 26.7% three-pointers and 42.7% overall, it is still much higher than the Pacers!
It's a competition to see who's worse!
In the end, the Eagles won the game 90:69.
If it were the Warriors, they would have scored more than 69 points at halftime!
…
The game between fourth and fifth in the Eastern Conference was still close, with the Nets and Bulls not deciding the winner until the last minute.
Like the previous two games, both teams worked hard on the defensive end and their offensive efficiency was very low.
What I have to admire about Thibodeau is that no matter who the opponent is, he can bring the opponent to the same level and compete with him defensively.
This is also a skill!
Even without superstars, he can still win with a group of role players. Such a coach is pretty awesome.
After winning this game, the score between the two teams became 2:1, with the Bulls taking the lead.
…
At 8pm on April 29, 2013, Game 4 between the Warriors and Lakers officially started at Staples Arena.
The big score between the two teams is now 3:0, and the Lakers have no hope of this series.
But life still has to go on, you can’t just admit defeat!
The Warriors' strategy remains unchanged, they still speed up the pace, either throwing three-pointers or scoring fast breaks.
Due to being behind by a big score, the Lakers players were in low spirits, and only Kobe Bryant kept working hard on the court.
"Don't give up, we have hope!"
"Defense! Don't let them still score three points!"
Kobe kept shouting on the court, asking his teammates to cheer up.
On the offensive end, Kobe also took the lead, rushing to the penalty area and scoring again and again.
The Splash Brothers are accurate in three-pointers. If I don’t compete with you, I’ll just score from the inside!
The Warriors' defense was very targeted, and Kobe spent a lot of time on it.
The greatest respect for your opponent is to not give in!
Kobe doesn’t want the Warriors to give up!
Even if he loses, Kobe will still stand and walk out of the arena!
