The Celtics did not surprise with anything new during the season, but once again confirmed their status as one of the most stable teams in the Eastern Conference, which is good news. For several seasons Boston has been confidently making the playoffs, this time from third place, where in the first round it has already played one match against Philadelphia. Brad Stevens’ wards competently approached the meeting and beat the opponent with the same attitude (109-101). The Celts knew about the Sixers’ problems and took advantage of it. Of course, credit should be given to Jason Tatum and Jelane Brown for their fantastic play, who scored 61 points for two.
Chicago won an important victory for itself, but they got it very hard and we absolutely cannot believe that they will be able to repeat the same success in the upcoming fight. The Hawks scored two goals in the starting period and then went into defense. Cory Crawford did incredible things with a total of 48 shots. If not for his actions, the “Hawks” would lose with a rout. Jeremy Colliton’s team also had problems with defense in the series with Edmonton, but there they were rescued by the attack, because the Neftyaniks also had difficulties with this aspect. We think that it will be physically impossible for the Blackhawks to play the remaining matches in the same rhythm and get a victory in them. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
