Comeback season

In these playoffs there were five victories of teams that have so far been looked up for 20 points or more points. This is most of it every night during the play-by-play era that started with the 1997 playoffs.

29-Oklahoma City in Memphis, April 24 (Thunder won 114-108)

20-Indiana against Milwaukee, April 29 (Pacers won 119-118)

20-New York in Boston, May 5 (Knicks won 108-105)

20-Indiana in Cleveland, May 6th (Pacers won 120-119)

20-New York in Boston, May 7th (Knicks won 91-90)

Statistics of the day

– The Knicks have suspended deficits of 20 or more points in six games against Boston this season. Against the rest of the league, the Knicks are brought together by 20 or more six times.

– So far there have been 55 playoff games this year. Home teams won 28, Road Teams won 27.

-Julius Randle had a triple double for Minnesota on Saturday. He is now the second player who has one in the playoffs for the Timberwolves. Kevin Garnett did it three times, most recently in 2004.

Quote of the day
