Boston vs Miami: where will the East Finals begin?

Boston have won four wins in their previous five personal matches. During the playoffs Miami lost only once. The last PM ended with the “lights” victory (112-106).

Boston

The Celtics realized that they could not catch up with Milwaukee in the fight for the first line in the Eastern Conference, so they calmed down and advanced to the playoffs from third place.

In the first round Boston dealt with Philadelphia in four games. The team acted as a whole and did not leave any chances to the opponent at all, therefore, one might say, it reached the quarterfinals quite easily.

Of course, it is worth noting the coaching instinct of Brad Stevens, who was always one step ahead of his opponent, which, in principle, we saw in the last series against Toronto. The reigning NBA champion lost twice in a row and the Celts had an excellent opportunity to put the squeeze on their opponents, but the reptiles went all-in and kept comparing the score.

Everything was decided in the seventh match, when Jason Tatum and company played very competently and coped with the Raptors (92-87). That evening the leader of “Boston” even issued a double-double and, one might say, brought his club to the East Final.

Miami

“Lights” are simply unrecognizable this season, because the team has become a real leader. If in the main tournament the club managed to take the fifth line, then during the playoffs they really broke through.

It is unlikely that Miami would have achieved such a result without Jimmy Butler, who became a real leader not only on the floor, but also in the locker room. We should also pay tribute to his teammates and head coach Eric Spoelstra, who recently could be satisfied with the actions of his charges since the days of LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. "Heats" smashed "Indiana" at the start, as the opponent did not manage to catch even one victory. However, as it turned out, it was only a warm-up. The next opponent was Milwaukee, led by Yannis Adetokunbo.

The quarterfinals turned out to be rich in spectacular moments and emotions. We saw a real fight, but “Heats” allowed “Bucks” to prove themselves only once, in all other fights of Eric Spoliestra's guys it was simply unstoppable, as a result, the victory in the series (4-1).
