Oklahoma City Thunder Overgue Boston Celtics ‘Test’ to score on NBA Play-off Spot
Oklahoma City Thunder sealed the place in the NBA playoff with 16 games remaining season after impressive 118-112 victories over the ruling Boston Celtics champion.
Shai Gilgeous-Aleksandar strengthened his case for MVP (the most valuable player) by putting 34 points, five rebounds and seven helpers in 39 minutes.
The victory means thunder, which are 12 games of cleansing at the top of the table in the Western Conference, was joined by Cavaliers Cleveland from the Eastern Conference in the playoffs.
And beating 18-time Boston’s champion was an important “test” to overcome the thunder, which for the first time wanted to win the NBA title.
“It’s huge,” said Gilgeous-Alexander after lightning improved up to 54 wins and only 12 defeats.
“Because (Celts) did what we were trying to do, games against them will always increase. It will always be a little more exciting.
“There’s no better test in the NBA.”
Celts, who have now won 49 and lost 17 games, are the second behind Cavalia (won 55 lost 10) and remain on a play-off spot course.
Jaison Tatum, who was at the 41st. He scored 33 points, says that his side must improve their shape if he will win the back on the back.
“Everyone must play a little better,” Tatum said.
“Better on the margins, the little things. You play against the horse’s teams that will not really be beaten.
“And the little things, don’t break the leap jumps at the end of the hour, reversing for living balls, such things, like that, (we) we have to be a little better.”
