The heavily short-handed Timberwolves have 3 games to finish off the Nuggets beginning in DEN in about 35 minutes. That's a tall task without DiVencenzo and Edwards. Their Team Defense has been excellent and that's where they'll hang their hats again.

Incredible performance by PHI.
The only shock is that Embiid performed so well in his 2nd game back. Each day buys them time to get better and better as this group hasn't played together all season. They'll have their downs as they get accustomed to each other. Just have to figure out a way to survive this 1st Round and win the next two games. Then they could afford to lose a few in a series and keep getting better.

Atlanta Hawks are down 58-19 in the second quarter. Turn out the lights, the party's over.

71-22 Knicks at the 5:00 min mark of quarter 2. That's insane.

Halftime and the Hawks trail 83-36. AT HOME. Wonder if there is anybody left in the stands. Come on, Atlanta, show some pride.
Atlanta is still showing no backbone. 103-43.

What is going on in the NBA. Yesterday, Atlanta doesn’t even bother trying to compete from Quarter 1.
Today, Orlando has a 22 pt halftime lead and scores only 19 points in the entire second half, losing by 14.
Both teams looked so unprofessional at those times.

Hopefully, the Kentucky Derby does not interfere with this 76ers game. (Derby scheduled for 6:57pm on NBC. The start time depends on how quickly the horses get into their post positions)
Game 7: Philadelphia at Boston, May 2 (7:30 ET, NBC and Peacock)
Series tied 3-3

No Tatum for the Celtics. Sixers gonna get this one.
Bye, Boston. Hope this one stings.
