The Portland Trail Blazers defeat The Golden State Warriors

The Portland Trail Blazers vs. The Golden State Warriors - Game 3

Going into this game, I had high hopes for the Golden State Warriors to take this one home especially with a star player such as Stephen Curry. Unfortunately for me and fortunately for many others, I was wrong. The Portland Trail Blazers, took this one in the bag scoring 120-108 in their favour.

From the start I was definitely expecting a strong match from both teams, there's no doubt about that. In the previous games, we've seen a strong contestant in the Portland team - Dame Lillard, who has consistently played to his best. One notable trend to point out is that Lillard has amazingly scored over 40 points for all of the three games at home against the Golden State Warrirors. To add further to Lillard's strong game ability, he is definitely someone you would not want to face on the opposing team to you, as every time there was a glimmer of hope for the Golden State Warriors when Klay or Green take the ball, we just find it to shattered soon after Lillard gets his hands on the ball.

Overall, a great performance by Dame Lillard, with another honourable mention to Draymond Green for his showcase of talent as well, which definitely helped out with keeping the scores high for the Golden State Warriors. His efforts should not go unnoticed as I was simply blown away.

Cleveland Cavaliers defeat Atlanta Hawks

Lebron's crash

One memorable moment to take away from this game is simply Lebron's amazing ability to manage his team but to also check on his fans. We can witness him crashing into fans at one point, however he quickly got up and made sure his fans were okay before going straight back into the game again.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks - Game 3

Again, it was just great to witness a good game of basketball in the NBA after a long week. Such a relaxing way to just spend the weekend by witnessing some amazing shots by such talented players. Especially to see such a well-known player such as Lebron James giving it his best. Honestly, I was expecting a good game from the beginning, as this was the third game and we'd expect teams to get a rough idea of how things should be playing out by the opposing team.

Straight from the beginning we see a good start by both teams with the Hawks making the first 2 point score. With amazing plays by both teams it was expected that the game would be quite close or at least very neck-and-neck. This was exactly what we were witnessing, along with tremendous plays by the talented bunch.

I's like to point out that Kevin Love definitely put in a great effort this game by having such a strong defensive game. With his defensive skills almost lacking for the majority of the playoff, we got to see a significant improvement this game, and this was clear within the second half of the game. It was great to see!

In the end the final score was 121-108 with The Cavaliers taking home the win. After all, it was a well deserve win based on the teams cohesiveness and sheer talent-pool.
