The Mavericks have noticeably reached a new level, although there are failures, so the head coach has something to work on. The team started the first round of the playoffs with a defeat, but managed not only to bounce back, but to come out ahead. It seemed that Dallas would no longer leave a chance for Utah, but in the last meeting the opponent nevertheless pulled out a victory and equalized the score in the series (99-100). Now everything needs to start from the beginning, however, a big plus is that Luka Doncic has returned to the floor. Ahead is the fifth match, which will be held at the home arena.
Toronto finally managed to break the score in the series. The day before, Nick Nurse’s wards defeated Philadelphia with a score of 110:102. Pascal Siakam was the best in the Raptors. An enchanting game has long been expected from the Cameroonian. In the previous match they showed it. In 43 minutes on the floor, the basketball player scored 34 points and also completed eight rebounds and five assists. It is worth noting that in the last match, the Canadians lost two-point shots. The percentage of implementation of these shots was much better than that of “Philadelphia”. Thanks to this, they managed to win.
