Turin, 11 May (LaPresse) – Boston conquers New York, dominating Game 3 of the NBA playoffs 115-93 and reopening the series with the Knicks, who remain ahead 2-1 after winning the first two games at TD Garden. Tatum led the Celtics with 22 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, while Pritchard also played well, scoring 23 points off the bench. Brunson's 27 points (but with 9/21 shooting) and Towns' double-double of 21 points and 15 rebounds were useless for Thibodeau's team. In the other game played last night, Minnesota beat Golden State 102-97 to take a 2-1 lead in the series. Edwards (36 points) led the Timberwolves, who also got a valuable contribution from Randle, who recorded a triple-double with 24 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. The Warriors, still without Curry, were unable to capitalise on Butler's 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists and Kuminga's 30 points.
