NBA playoff analysis: Cavaliers retain the suspense of the series, the Thunder crosses the King of Heaven

10:48pm, 16 May 2025【Basketball】

Pacers vs Cavaliers

According to the current trend of the series, the Cavaliers have indeed been forced to a cliff. When they came on the court, the Pacers were fully fired as soon as they got up, and they played the Cavaliers at 80:39 in the first half. The huge gap made the Cavaliers give up the game early. Too many unit mistakes made the Cavaliers difficult to move, and the Pacers felt explosive again. The game ended, a total of 7 players scored in double digits, and the inside combination of Turner and Siakam was completely defeated by the Cavaliers' double towers.

The two teams will continue to fight in the Quick Loan Arena tomorrow, which is undoubtedly the most important game of the season for the Cavaliers. All the injuries have become less important. Mitchell always feels that his personal performance is top-notch in the playoffs, but he has no choice but to lead the team. Of course, in this season's playoffs, the Cavaliers' injury problem is a turning point, but it is undeniable that the Pacers have played more efficient offense and defense, which is worthy of respect. I personally am optimistic about the Cavaliers' difficult victory tomorrow to retain the suspense of the series.

Player injury problem report:

Calligraphers: Mitchell's play is suspicious

Pacers: Jackson missed

This game prediction: The Cavaliers won, the total score was 229.5

Nuggets VS Thunder

The two teams played the ultimate offensive and defensive performance in the last game. In the first quarter, the Thunder were the first to enter the state, but the two teams staged a blacksmith battle. At the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored a bleak score of 17:8. The Thunder was in trouble with fouls in the second quarter, and the Nuggets kept chasing points. At the end of the half, the Nuggets narrowed the gap to within 10 points. In the second half of the third quarter, the Nuggets made consecutive three-pointers and overtook the score. At the final quarter, the Nuggets began to cut off their power, and the Thunder took the opportunity to overtake the score. At the last moment, the Thunder gave the Nuggets a lot of opportunities. The referee stole the show again, but the Nuggets failed to seize the opportunity and lost to the Thunder. The big score in the series between the two sides reached 2:2.

Tomorrow will be the battle of Tianwangshan in the two teams' series. The Thunder holds the home advantage. The intensity of the two sides' matches on the field is quite high. Now it seems that the Nuggets' physical fitness has already lit up a red light. The Thunder's victory lies in their youth and full of energy. The longer the series is dragged down, the more beneficial it is to the Thunder. It is difficult for the Nuggets to win away tomorrow.

Nuggets: Holmes, Tyson absent

Predict: The Thunder wins, the total score is 221.5
