Basketballer Isaiah Hartenstein has dramatically gave Oklahoma City Thunder from the NBA playoff quarter-finals.
The best team in the main round lost to the Denver Nuggets after a gala performance by superstar Nikola Jokic in a thriller with 119:121 and after the first game of the best-of-Seven series in the Conference Semifinals was 0-1 behind.
Aaron Gordon scored four seconds before the end of the season with a threesome for victory for the Nuggets after OKC had not previously transformed three free throws in a row.
Hartenstein came to twelve points and nine rebounds. Jokic towered with 42 points and 22 rebounds for the nuggets. The second duel also takes place in Oklahoma on Thursday night before the series for two games moves to Denver.
Oklahoma, after 68:14 victories in the main round and a sweep in the first playoff round against the Memphis Grizzlies one of the title favorites, kept a narrow lead from the first quarter, which suddenly tilted crucially shortly before the end. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the best thrower at OKC with 33 points.
The New York Knicks meanwhile took the lead in the series against Master Boston Celtics 1-0. Without Ariel Hukporti, the Knicks 108: 105 won after extra time, Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby had a large part in the surprise success with the defending champion with 29 points.
The stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown (23 points each) could not prevent the Celtics, who had turned off in the first playoff round Orlando Magic around world champion Franz Wagner. Play two of the series takes place again in Boston on Thursday night.
