2025 NBA Playoffs Results, Highlights, Review April 27, including Anthony Edwards Outduelling Luka Doncic

All four series from Sunday are now 3-1, but they are Minnesota and Los Angeles, who feels like it could continue.

Timberwolves 116, Lakers 113 (Minnesota Leads Series 3-1)

What. A. game.

Anthony Edwards took another step to be a top 5 player in the league, and fell 43 points in the fourth quarter, when he took over when it was important. LeBron James made a block and theft too late and played a big defense in the clutch (and I'm sorry that LeBron was a foul for ant). Edwards and Luka Doncic duel.

“I just try to prove that I belong,” said Edwards about dueling Doncic and LeBron.

The difference in this game and this series is the help of Doncic and Ant, which you get around you – or not.

Lakers coach JJ Redick played his Five Jungs Lebron, Doncic, Austin Reaves, Dorian Finney-Smith, Rui Hachimura-in the entire second half. No replacement. The legs became tired and the Lakers lost the fourth quarter 30-20.

In the meantime, Chris Finch is closing the game with two Timberwolves Bank players in Naz Reid and Donte Divincenzo. This depth and versatility are the reason why the Timberwolves are a win from the second round.

Knicks 94, Pistons 93 (New York Leads series 3-1)

I am firmly in the camp “don't accuse the referees for their loss” – there were more than 47 minutes to change the course of the game and not leave things to a game.

This game makes it difficult to take this attitude. The pistons were screwed at the end of this player, Josh Hart clearly fouled Tim Hardaway Jr. on a 3 pointer with a playful corner, and that must be mentioned.

Crew chief David Guthrie admitted the mistake Talk to a pool reporter after the game:

“During the live game, it was judged that Josh Hart made a legal defensive game. After the review after the game, we found that Hart made physical contact, which is more than marginal for Hardaway and should be called in.”

This is another tight game in an entertaining series, but I am not sold that this call would change where this series leads. Jalen Brunson showed why why He is the clutch player of the year He scored 15 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter and had 11 templates. Karl-Anthony Towns had another big game at 27.

Cade Cunningham is ready for this moment, he had a 25-10-10 triple double. It's just not enough in this series.

Celtics 107, Magic 98 (Boston Leads series 3-1)

Orlando is a good team that plays with real Grit. Boston urges in this series. This game was bound with four minutes with 91-91.

Then Boston graduated from Jayson Tatum with a 16: 7 run behind a big day, which ended with 37 points, and that was the ball game.

Game 4 was a continuation of the same story from this series: Orlando only fights for a goal. It shot 8 out of 30 in this game from beyond the arch. The majority of the shot creation falls on the shoulders of Paolo Banchero and he put on 31 points, but with 12-32 shooting (36 true shot attempts), it asks too much of him to make the entire creation.

Game 5 is back in Boston and while Orlando will not go calm, it feels the feeling of being the end of the series.

Pacers 129, Bucks 103 (Indiana Leads series 3-1)

Damian Lillard's terrible scene sits on the floor, Probably with a torn Achilles (This will not only end this season, but probably also hold it out by most of the next ones) was difficult to observe. It was a cloud about the whole game.

Game 4 of this series continued the simple pattern of the first three: Indiana has no answer to Giannis Antetocounmpo, but they can at least throw it on him to slow him down while Milwaukee cannot prevent the Pacers from getting.

The goats need a large secondary scorer next to Antetocounmpo to be a threat, and nobody performed without Lillard.

Good game from Myles Turner when the big man led the Pacers with 23 points.
