Let’s start with the fact that Jacques Vaughn’s wards made a holiday for themselves, because despite problems with the roster and the absence of such stars as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, the team still qualified for the playoffs. Brooklyn went all-in and made the right decision, while the club created two sensations. First one was when they beat the leader of the East Milwaukee (119-116) and then they won in the match against the Clippers (129-120). For such performances the team must be given their due, since in such a situation the “networks” showed themselves better than one might have expected. In the first series of the playoffs, the Nets will face the reigning champion Toronto and we can say that they were clearly out of luck with the opponent, but they certainly will not do without surprises.
Carolina can be commended for playing great in the minority and being able to hold back the opponent’s onslaught four times when playing in unequal compositions. Moreover, they even scored the puck, namely Brock McGinn distinguished himself, who converted the exit. Note that this defeat was the first for the team in the playoffs, because in the last series it easily dealt with the Rangers with a score of 3:0, scoring 11 goals in three games. The Hurricanes have no problems with performance, but they will certainly try to give Boston as little space as possible in their own zone in upcoming meetings. In principle, playing on defense can bring positive results to the Brindamore squad. So, what is the free prediction for the NBA match for today?
