Jazzmen are trying to keep the bar high, especially since this season the club has taken the first line in the Western Conference. It is worth noting that the team began to feel feverish towards the end of the main tournament, but players coped well with the excitement. At the stage of the playoffs, the most interesting began, as Utah lost to Memphis in the first meeting (109-112) as well as at the home arena. Of course, such a result greatly disappointed Queen Snyder’s charges and the guys got down to business seriously. We had a great opportunity to observe how to deal with opponents. Donovan Mitchell and company just smashed the Grizzlies as the next four fights ended in their favor. The Jazz found themselves in the second round of the playoffs, where they were eagerly awaiting the name of a competitor. They were the Clippers, who managed to impose a fight on the road, but the hosts still retained the advantage on the floor and came out ahead (112-109).
The Nets have strengthened solidly at the start of the championship, so it was not surprising to see the club among the leaders of the Eastern Conference. The team also received a star coach, who was not easy, but Steve Nash managed to find common ground with the phenomenal trio. Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving coped well with their tasks, although at first there was a battle of priorities on the floor and everyone wanted to show what he was worth. When players realized that they had the same goal, then the game improved. Brooklyn skated through Boston, as they allowed the opponent to celebrate the victory only once. No matter how hard Jason Tatum tried, his individual actions helped only to improve individual performance. After the Celtics the New York team switched to Milwaukee and continued to demonstrate good basketball. Seti had two wonderful fights, during which they showed who is the boss. However, now they need to prove themselves on the road.
