Our marquee matchup for this weekend features the Golden State Warriors taking on the Sacramento Kings. So, with further ado, let’s look at where things stand through the first three games and see who has the edge in Game 4.Â
The Knicks took Game 1 before the Cavs responded with a Game 2 victory. However, Game 3 was ugly and reminded everybody of 1990s basketball with a final score of 99-79 with the Knicks winning at Madison Square Garden.Â
With the possibility of falling into an 0-3 hole, two of Atlanta’s key players – Trae Young and Dejounte Murray — turned in solid performances. Young scored a game-high of 32 points on 12-for-22 shooting from the field, including 2-for-6 from beyond the arc. He also had nine assists and pulled down six rebounds.
The Knicks saw Jalen Brunson explode in his team playoff debut, and he had 27 points on 11-24 from the field. Julius Randle struggled with a 7-20 clip and 3-10 from three-point land, but he still managed a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double.Â
After acquiring Kevin Durant via a midseason trade with the Brooklyn Nets, the Phoenix Suns became one of the prohibitive favorites to win the title. But someone forgot to pass the memo along to the Los Angeles Clippers.
However, the biggest story of the night was Draymond Green stomping on Sabonis, leading to an ejection and, ultimately, a Game 3 suspension for Green. Moreover, Sabonis is dealing with a sternum contusion, making his status for the game – and the series – a giant question mark for Sacramento.Â
Jimmy Butler led the way for the Heat with 35 points and 11 assists and Bam Adebayo had 22 points and 9 rebounds. Four Heat starters had double figures, but Tyler Herro broke his hand and is expected to be sidelined for the next month, at minimum.Â
