Knicks vs. Grizzlies. The Knicks had recently suffered three consecutive losses. Facing the Grizzlies, who are out of playoff contention, they hoped to bounce back. Since Brunson was absent, the Knicks played smoothly from the start in the first quarter, with everyone contributing and efficient offense leading to a high score of 48-30. In the second quarter, both teams engaged in a scoring duel, but the Knicks maintained a substantial lead, holding a 17-point advantage at halftime. In the second half, the Knicks' offense hit obstacles, allowing the Grizzlies to close the gap significantly. However, Anunoby stepped up for the Knicks, attacking and scoring to rebuild the advantage and seal the game. Ultimately, the Knicks defeated the Grizzlies to end their losing streak.

Bucks vs. Rockets. Against a severely depleted Bucks lineup, the Rockets played smoothly in the first half, with Durant leading a multi-point offensive surge to stretch the lead to 20 points. However, in the second half, the Rockets suddenly went cold, struggling with defensive gaps that allowed the Bucks to unleash a three-point barrage and narrow the gap. Since the lead couldn't be extended, Durant had to stay on the court for extended periods. Fortunately, Shepherd's hot three-point shooting, hitting 9 threes overall, helped the Rockets double-defeat the Bucks and secure a hard-fought victory.

Nuggets vs. Jazz. The two teams' conditions contrasted sharply: the Nuggets on a 6-game winning streak faced the Jazz on a 6-game losing streak. Given the disparity in strength, the Nuggets aimed for victory. The outcome confirmed this, as the game proceeded without much drama. In the first half, the Nuggets performed efficiently, overpowering the Jazz with strong offense and securing a 14-point halftime advantage. In the second half, the Nuggets' shooting accuracy declined, and the Jazz seized the chance to attack and chase points. However, in the final quarter, the Nuggets regained control, with Jokic completing a triple-double and Murray taking charge of the game. Ultimately, the Nuggets easily crushed the Jazz, extending their winning streak to 7 games.

Spurs vs. Warriors. Against a depleted Warriors lineup, the Spurs displayed excellent team basketball. Wembanyama showcased all-around efficiency in both offense and defense, scoring 41 points in 29 minutes, overwhelming the Warriors' interior defense. Finally, with seven Spurs players scoring double digits, they dismantled the Warriors, extending their hot streak to a 10-game winning streak. They are truly formidable, firmly holding the second spot in the Western Conference.

Today, April 3, the regular season continues with fierce battles. Key matchups include the Lakers versus the Thunder, the Spurs facing the Clippers, and the Timberwolves challenging the Eastern Conference's top team, the Pistons. Looking forward to it!
