The Jazzmen won the first line in the Western Conference with some difficulty, but this was only the first stage, since now the team is faced with the goal of aiming at the championship. Queen Snyder’s wards are on the list of the main contenders for the gold rings, but at the start of the playoffs they were somewhat surprised. Utah underestimated the capabilities of Memphis in the first meeting of the series, which led to the defeat (109-112). The absence of Donovan Mitchell made its mark on the result, because it lacked the leader of the attack, who is an important gear in the mechanism of the head coach. Jazz has many professionals who can take responsibility. In short, we expect owners to wake up and show a decent game.
In the previous match Atlanta showed an excellent game. The Hawks did not manage to impose their game on the opponent, but they also succeeded in slow basketball. This is very important, since New York was beaten by his own weapon. All of this should give the Hawks confidence. In this meeting, everything will again depend on Tray Young. This is Atlanta’s main striking force. In the first match, he scored 32 points. But, besides him, the Hawks fans hope for the successful actions of Bogdan Bogdanovich and John Collins. Well, we must not forget about Clint Capel, who collects everything that is possible under the ring.
