Milwaukee still managed to cope with Brooklyn. The star trio Harden-Durant-Irving failed to provide their team with the desired result. In the last match the Nets managed to put the game into overtime, but the Bucks players (115-111) still celebrated the victory. The best in his team was Yannis Adetokunbo, who has 40 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. It is worth noting that in the confrontation with Brooklyn, Mike Budenholzer’s wards paid a lot of attention to protecting their own ring. In some matches they did not allow the “networks” to score even 100 points. It is very likely that in the battle with Atlanta the “reindeer” will not change anything.
This is not to say that Tampa looked head and shoulders above their opponent in the semi-finals. Although the club initially acted as the favorite, the Lightning had a hard time earning victories. But in the fifth meeting, the team showed what fans expect from it, defeating the Islanders (8:0). It is not easy to single out any of the players, since almost the entire squad distinguished themselves, but nevertheless Kucherov, Stemkos and Killiron showed themselves best of all. Also, one cannot ignore the goalkeeper Vasilevsky, who deflected all the shots, thereby completing the “cracker”. More NHL win predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
