The Monty Williams team is still struggling to win the Western Conference. Phoenix have experienced their only recession this season, while on the whole they are going very convincingly along the calendar. On Wednesday, local players somehow casually dealt with Miami, having implemented 46% of shots from the field. It didn’t make sense for Booker and Paul to get into the game to the fullest. But Ayton and Johnson gave a great match, who also worked well in defense. Phoenix finds a balance and this finally makes hosts a contender for at least the semifinals of the conference.
The 20-time champion and 15-time Croatian Cup winner made its way through the group stage to the Europa League playoffs. At the first stage, Dinamo left no chances for Krasnodar, after which Tottenham laid down their arms. The team is confidently going in the tournament distance of the Croatian championship, where in 27 rounds it managed to get 20 victories and drew four times, which brought 64 points and first place in the standings. It should be noted the powerful line of attack of the “blues”, who hit the opponents’ goal 66 times, of which Gavranovich and Orsic scored 14 goals each. Following the draw with Sibenik (1:1), guests defeated Lokomotiv (2:0). Today Moharram and Gavranovich will not be able to enter the field.
