Washington has been able to avert the first round off in the first round of the NBA play-offs for the time being. The Wizards won the home game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday (local time) 122: 114 and thus reduced the “best-of-seven” series to 1: 3. The failure of Joel Embiid was decisive for the guests. The 27-year-old top star of the 76ers had to leave the floor due to a knee injury in the first quarter.
At Washington, Russell Westbrook was once again the defining player with 19 points, 21 rebounds and 14 assists. Another incident occurred with a spectator. A fan ran onto the field in the third quarter and caused an interruption. He did not come into contact with any player or official before he was overpowered by security forces. The trailer will now be banned from the house, it could also be displayed. Incidents with fans had already happened in the past few days. Most recently, after the game against the Brooklyn Nets in Boston, a visitor threw a water bottle at former Celtics professional Kyrie Irving.
Like Philadelphia, the Utah Jazz are still one win away from promotion. The best team in the west after the regular season beat the Memphis Grizzlies away with 120: 113. It’s also 3: 1 in this series.
