Vancouver had a great second match in the series and played flawlessly both in defense and in attack. However, already in the third fight, they suffered again a dry defeat and could not offer their opponent anything in attack, although they had a huge number of chances to excel in the majority. The Canucks are seriously suffering from the chances and at the same time it is very difficult for them to play in defense against Vegas. We emphasize that, perhaps, Travis Green’s charges need to act more openly and relaxed so that they have a chance to catch their opponent on a counterattack. It was on counterattacks that Vancouver won victory in the second game.
The Los Angeles-based club was initially considered the Lakers’ main rival in the fight for the first line in the West, as well as one of the contenders for the championship. Doc Rivers’ charges spent a lot of energy in the first round of the playoffs, but this situation hardened the team. The Clippers have been one step ahead of Dallas all the time and are still leading in the series, but you shouldn’t relax, because the cowboys show their fighting character over and over again. We would like to note the last match of the Sailboats, because the team just made fun of the defense of the Mavericks. The fantastic game of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, who scored 67 points for two, amazed everyone and allowed the Sailboats to beat the cowboys (154-111).
