The Suns went through adjustments and in the course of the season became the real leader of the Western Conference. The team has noticeably improved and continues to amaze rivals. As part of the playoffs, Phoenix hit the reigning champion, but managed to hold out with dignity. The Lakers tried to turn the tide, but last three fights were for Monty Williams’ wards, in principle, like the series. The Suns did a good job, especially the individual actions of Devin Booker and the real leader Chris Paul, who instills confidence in teammates with his presence on the floor. In a word, the team does not need to stop in any case, especially since the second round of the playoffs begins with home confrontations.
Bucks is moving in small steps towards the final. The team has been aiming for gold rings for a long time, however, all the time something prevents them from showing a decent game. Milwaukee skated through Miami in the first series of the playoffs. The guys of Mike Budenholzer did not leave the opponent the slightest chance and for this they had enough four fights. Jimmy Butler and company did not keep up with the opponent at all and quite rightly dropped out of the competition. The Deer knew perfectly well that they were going to Brooklyn, which is one of the main contenders for the championship. The first match was away and ended unsuccessfully. However, ahead of the team is again waiting for an away confrontation.
