The Phoenix Suns made it into the finals of the Western Conference in the NBA with a “sweep” against the Denver Nuggets. Phoenix also won the fourth duel of the “best of seven” series on Sunday with 125: 118 in their own hall and now meets Utah Jazz or the Los Angeles Clippers (standings 2: 1). In the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks equalized 2-2 thanks to a 107:96 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
In the fourth success of the Suns, Chris Paul (37 points) and Devin Booker (32) stood out. The nuggets weakened themselves when the newly elected MVP center Nikola Jokic was thrown off the pitch in the third quarter after a foul.
The Nets had to do without Kyrie Irving early in their defeat, who twisted in the second quarter and could not continue. James Harden was also still unavailable. Kevin Durant had 28 points, 13 rebounds and five assists, but that wasn’t enough against the Bucks. In addition to Giannis Antetokounmpo (34 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists), they had four other players who also scored double-digit points. Game five follows on Tuesday in New York.
Play-off results of the NBA on Friday (“best of seven”):
Western Conference – Semifinals: Denver Nuggets – Phoenix Suns 118: 125 (final score of the series 0: 4)
Eastern Conference – Halbfinale: Milwaukee Bucks – Brooklyn Nets 107:96 (Stand 2:2)
