So far, the Spurs clearly lack stability, but in recent matches they were able to defeat strong opponents, which portended a way out of the crisis. Now the team is in the playoff zone, but in order to gain a foothold there, you need to win more often and not just against obvious outsiders. San Antonio is lacking the stability. They have recently issued a series of victories, although after that, the Spurs have been losing two matches in a row, first to Milwaukee and then to Charlotte.
After a slight decline “Tampa” continues to smash their opponents. The winning streak reached again five matches, only one of which was difficult. The team left no chances for Chicago (4:2 and 4:1) and also won a landslide victory over Florida (5:3). The goalkeeper McElhinney showed his best side, which happens quite rarely. Of course, the Lightning are best at home, but away from home few people can fight back such a strong club. In nine away matches, Lightning lost only to Chicago (3:4) and Detroit (4:6). Tampa continues to be the leader in the Central Division table and the advantage over Carolina is as much as five points.
