St. Louis is gradually entering the rhythm of the playoffs and is doing it very well in time, because any mistake could “throw” them out of the fight for the Stanley Cup. The Musicians were on a series of five defeats, after which they achieved success over Vancouver in overtime with a score of 3:2 and in the next meeting they consolidated their success – 3:1. Ryan O’Reilly became the best player in the previous fight, who scored a double and scored an assist to Pietrangelo. However, it is worth noting that the Blues were too far away in that meeting, so they were lucky that their opponent did not take advantage of a single attempt. But the fact that the “Musicians” were able to establish their defense cannot but please fans of the team.
After the restart of the season, Brett Brown’s team changed beyond recognition, albeit in a negative direction. They had to forget about a stable game, while the club dropped to the sixth line of the Eastern Conference. It is noticeable that the team lacks Ben Simmons, but for now he is forced to miss the starting playoffs. In the first round, Philadelphia was defeated by Boston (101-109), which was quite predictable, but the next meeting should take place in a different vein. The Sixers know how to do better, especially since there are Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris in the ranks, who can easily lead the team, so it seems that Phil will surprise you this time.
