Atlanta Hawks

"Hawks" are developing and progressing, which is good news. Of course, it's still a long way to the level of a top team, but in general, Nate McMillan's wards have shown their best side this season.

It is worth noting the fifth place in the Eastern Conference, as well as a good start in the playoffs. The team dealt with New York without any problems in five matches and a really worthy opponent was caught in the second round.

Atlanta had to confront Philadelphia and already in the first fight Trey Young and the company fired (128-124). Unfortunately, it was not possible to keep the advantage, as the opponent turned on the speed and even managed to come out ahead.

Now the club needs to compare the score, although the bookmakers do not really believe in this, but do not forget that the fourth meeting will take place at home at the State Farm Arena, which clearly adds confidence to the owners.

Philadelphia 76ers

“Fila” is ready for anything for the sake of the championship, as the leader Joel Embiid has said more than once. The team won the first line in the Eastern Conference, which deserves praise. However, the main bet was made in the playoffs.

It all started with a series against Washington, which could hardly be called a serious opponent. The capital club approached the confrontation with a lot of problems, so it was enough for only one victory (122-114).

Doc Rivers' charges also expected to easily pass Atlanta, but already at the start of the second round they were in for an unpleasant surprise. The Hawks played to the maximum and snatched a sensational victory (124-128). This course of events clearly did not like Ben Simmons and company.

“Philadelphia” gathered strength and in the next meeting equalized the score (118-102) and then put the squeeze on the “hawks” (127-111) away. In a word, the team aims to leave no chances to Nate McMillan's wards.
