The Clippers finished confidently in second place in the Western Conference, winning 49 of 72 matches. Despite the fact that the Sailboats had already qualified for the playoffs for a long time, they continued to play their game. For example, in recent matches they have beaten Denver (124-111) and Oklahoma (107-103). The Clippers have faced Dallas three times in the regular season this season. Sailboats beat Mavericks three times. Two victories were confident, but in one of them Carlisle’s wards were able to give a fight to the team from Los Angeles. In the end they lost by three points.
One might say that Colorado was very unlucky in the last match. No matter how hard the team tried to press on the opponent’s goal, it did not manage to break through the goalkeeper. It is unlikely that “Avalanches” will somehow change their tactics in the remaining meetings, because it worked steadily for them in all previous games. Jared Bednar’s squad is almost the best defensive player this season and realizes good chances in attack, so with a similar style of play it should go at least into the next round. By the way, even in the previous match, the team was close to recouping, as they scored the puck in 6×5 format, but nevertheless then missed another one into an empty net. So, what is the free prediction for the NBA match for today?
