Vegas was very good at adjusting to their opponent and almost immediately found keys to its defense. The team, of course, lost in the second match with a score of 2:5, but in the next two meetings they achieved success with the scores 3:0 and 5:3. Best of all in the last fight on the court proved to be Max Pasioretti, who issued two goals and made a transfer. However, Peter Debour’s wards were not very disciplined in the last game and even allowed themselves to retire five times, as a result of which they conceded two goals. By the way, for the first time on the ice in this series, Marc-Andr? Fleury appeared, who managed to reflect 28 shots. But, given how Debourg likes to exhibit Lehner, it is far from the fact that the Canadian will enter the court in the fifth meeting.
The Celtics calmly finished the main season and fully deserved the third line in the Eastern Conference. The team acted great and stable, so they managed to achieve good results in the playoffs already at the start. We can safely say that Boston made it to the quarterfinals easily, as Philadelphia lost all four games. No matter how hard Joel Embiid and company tried, Brad Stevens’ strategies won in this battle. The Celts did not slow down and caught Toronto by surprise already in the second round of the playoffs (112-94). The successful performance of the star trio – Jason Tatum, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown helped the team to get the extremely important victory.
