The Solar had an excellent opportunity to catch up with Utah, but did not take advantage of this chance. The team has one more game in reserve compared to the leader of the West, so the struggle continues. Phoenix lost two matches in a row, at first they failed to cope with the Lakers (110-123) and in the previous meeting they were weaker for Golden State (116-122). Obviously, guys from Monty Williams were not expecting such a result, but this is basketball and there is no way without failures. The Suns will play their next game against Portland, which is now just ignoring their opponents and churning out victories. There is no doubt that there will be a real battle at the Phoenix Suns Arena.
The leader of the East continues to keep its distance from Brooklyn, but in the last meeting the club stumbled. The Sixers failed to impose a fight on Indiana on the road and guests did not look very successful in general (94-103). This season, “Philadelphia” has become an order of magnitude better and are among the main contenders for the championship. Of course, we should pay tribute to the head coach Doku Rivers, who is not bad at embodying his plan for the season. The team has three fights left, two of which are against Orlando, so Phila has everything to see it through to the end and prevent the Nets from catching up.
