There are only two clashes left in the first round of the NBA playoffs, and these two duels could have the winner of the series this Friday (03). Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks vs. Clippers both play the sixth game of the series, with Dallas and Cleveland one win away from the semifinals.
On Wednesday (01) we had the Boston Celtics qualifying against the Miami Heat, closing the series at 4-1 for the team. The Celta team put aside doubts about the defeat at home to the Florida team and advanced without difficulty to the Eastern Semifinals. The team now awaits the winner between Magic x Cavaliers.
On Thursday night (02) we had two more teams advancing in the biggest basketball league in the world. The Knicks traveled to Philadelphia and needed to win to avoid forcing Game 7 between them and the 76ers, and after the New York team’s excellent first quarter, the 76ers played very well in the second quarter and went into the break winning by 3 points. . The third quarter was balanced, with the final quarter being the outcome of the game.
The Knicks team started the last quarter well and led until the end with a solid advantage, but after bad attacks, the 76ers evened the score, but Josh Hart hit a 3-pointer and practically assured the Knicks team’s classification. .
The Indiana Pacers eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks, in very tense and heated clashes on the court. The Bucks team did not have its star Giannis Antetokounmpo in the series, but in this sixth game Damian Lillard played and not even his 28 points were enough to defeat the Indiana team. The Bucks must go through some changes for next season, on the other hand, the Pacers face the Knicks in the next round.
