Historic Night in the NBA: The Memphis Grizzlies did the unbelievable tonight (Wednesday through Thursday) when they defeated the Golden State Warriors in a game in which they already led by 55 points (!) And shrank the Western Conference semifinal series to 3: 2, when they were without Injured star Ja Morant who is unlikely to be able to play again this season.

In the early game of the night there was no history, but a drama was certainly when the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Celtics 107: 110 in Boston, took the home advantage in the moment of truth and went up to 2: 3 which brings it one victory from the Eastern Conference final - maybe a task it will complete the night before Friday to sit.

Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors 95: 134 (3: 2 in the series)

It's hard to describe what happened tonight in Game 5 between Memphis and Golden State.

Precisely when she is without the injured Ja Morant and when Steve Kerr's fighters can secure their place in the Western Conference final, the host not only defeated its rival - but also broke a number of franchise records on the way to a stunning 39-point victory, in a game where the advantage peaked at 55 !

The Grizzlies scored 77 points in the first half, the most they ever scored in the first 24 minutes of a playoff game.

Even the 27-point advantage he had at halftime, 50:77, is the highest in the organization's history in a playoff game.

In fact, even the record advantage that stood at 55 points is the highest in playoff history for a team whose loss will lead to its end.

Recall that last December Memphis made history when they recorded the win by the highest margin ever in the NBA, then ruthlessly crushed Oklahoma 79: 152 in a game that also lacked Morant and is in a 6:21 balance without him.

In the absence of the star of the night, Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bain and Tios Jones each scored 21 points and were the Grizzlies ’standout scorers, while Dillon Brooks and Zaire Williams scored 12 and 11 respectively.

Memphis, by the way, scored 18 threes from 41 attempts and mostly punished Golden State for losing 22 balls in the game.

Clay Thompson with 19 points led the Warriors scoring and Steph Kerry added 14 (4 of 10 from the field).

Boston Celtics - Milwaukee Bucks 110: 107 (3: 2 in the series)

The NBA champion not only sweated, but tonight literally fought to the point of bloodshed to achieve her third victory in the series and the home advantage.

Luckily, she had not only Yannis Antocompo to complete the mission, but also Bobby Fortis and Jero Holliday who ensured victory.

With 15 seconds left, the Greek freak stood on the penalty line, but missed a crucial shot.

Fortis was there on the return ball to raise the Bucks to 107: 108 and left the Celtics one last ball, but during the next Holiday stopped Marcus Smart, also snatched the ball and decided the tackle.

Antocompo may have missed that dramatic free throw, but finished with no less than 40 points (16 from 27 from the field) and he also picked up 11 rebounds, was there for the Bucks when she trailed by a double-digit lead in the first half and offset Boston's lead to 54 47 at the break.

The third quarter was by Jaylen Brown, who was responsible for 25 of Boston's 32 points in the third quarter (scoring or providing an assist), but a 14-point lead in the decisive quarter was not enough for Boston as Antocompo fought to the point of a minor injury that led to bleeding, Fortis struggled Under the baskets and finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds, Holiday also had a passion with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists and as mentioned the Bucks did their duty with a fantastic comeback of 21:33 in the last quarter.

Jason Taitum scored 34 for Boston, Brown added 26 and Smart scored 15 points, but now Boston will have to come back from Milwaukee with a win.
