The NBA playoffs continue tonight (Monday through Tuesday) with three games, and the stars are clearly up in gear.

Tonight:
Philadelphia (4)
- Toronto (5) 97: 112
Dallas (4)
- Utah (5) 104: 110
Golden State (3)
- Denver (6) 106: 126

Philadelphia Sixers (3) - Toronto Raptors 97: 112 (Philly went up to 0: 2 in the series)
After being relatively quiet in the first game when it came to shooting, Joel Ambide increased the pace and returned to being the main points provider for the host, who cruised to another pretty easy win, increased her advantage in the series and could overpower her in Canada.
The Raptors, who complained about the refereeing at the end of the first game, arrived aggressively tonight and lowered Ambide to the floor several times already in the first minutes, but the Cameroonian chin was not excited and did not lose his temper.
Ambide scored 12 of his 14 free throws, accurate with nine shots out of 16 from the field and finished with 31 points alongside 11 rebounds.
Toronto was already 27 points behind, before coming close to just minus 11 in the final quarter, but then Tyris Maxi, the first game hero who also excelled tonight, shot a three that cut short the hopes of Nick Ners and his players.
Maxi contributed 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists this time, and Haifa to some extent on a calm evening of James Harden who scored only 14.
Forgot the lack of Doncic.

Now you have to win in Utah.

Dallas Mavericks (4) - Utah Jazz (5) 104: 110 (The Mavericks equalize 1: 1 in the series)
Injured Luka Doncic is absent again, but this time Jaylen Branson has risen to the level that Dallas is used to seeing from the Slovenian usually.
A career-high 41 points was recorded by the Mavericks quarterback, who became the fifth player in team history to score more than 40 in a playoff game - and the first to do so without losing a single ball, in addition to which Branson provided eight assists.
The star of the evening scored 15 of 25 from the field, including 6 of 10 for three, and swept the Texans back from a 10-point deficit at the break.
Now, Dallas, which lost the home game in its first game, in which it has not held a playoff opener for 11 years, will have to win in Utah - where it has lost all of its last 11 visits.
Maxi Caliber also excelled with 25 points from the bench, including no less than eight threes.
On the other side, Donovan Mitchell scored 34 and Bojan Bogdanovic added 25 points of his own, but this time it was not enough for the Jazz.

Golden State Warriors (3) - Denver Nuggets (6) 106: 126 (The Warriors went up 0-2 in the series)
This is the Golden State that San Francisco fans have been waiting to see all season, or in fact since 2019. After an injury-ridden season in which each star has been out for a long time, the Warriors are healthy and already have seven straight wins - including five recorded at the end of the regular season.
Steve Kerr's players trailed by 12 points during the second quarter, but then broke into a 4:23 run that turned the momentum around, and in the third quarter rained 44 points that opened a gap from the Nuggets.
Steph Kerry, who returned to action in the first game of the series, started on the bench again, but tonight he has already completely obliterated the injury: the sniper had only 23 minutes to score 34 points, shooting five threes and missing a total of five shots out of 17 picks in the game.
Jordan Paul once again showed that he too is already a star at Golden State, finishing with 29 points, with Clay Thompson contributing 21. Nikola Jukic managed to score 26 and drop 11 rebounds before being sent off about seven minutes to go, following a second technical.
Monte Morris, Will Barton and Bones Highland added 12 each for Denver, who will have to keep home for the next two games to return to the series.
