The conference finals got off to a flying start with an exceptional match between the Celtics and the Pacers. It is now the turn of the Wolves and Mavs to enter the dance. This series promises to be exciting and we will be treated to magnificent oppositions. The Minnesota franchise will start with a slight advantage in this series given that it has just taken out the defending champions in a breathtaking Game 7 (90-98) and has home field advantage. During this last match, Chris Finch’s men were subjected to the law of the Nuggets for more than two quarters and were even 20 points behind. However, the young Wolves woke up and locked down the Nuggets’ attack. Then, it was mainly the team that made the difference offensively with 6 players with more than 10 points. Anthony Edwards was clumsy but made his partners shine with 7 assists.
For their part, the Mavs won (4-2) in the series against OKC. Game 6 was unbreathable and the Thunder were very close to winning and snatching a Game 7. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was particularly efficient offensively with his 36 points but also made a fatal error. Indeed, the OKC star made a mistake on a 3-point shot from PJ Washington in the final seconds while the Thunder led by 1 point. This sealed the fate of the game and the series. In the meantime, we can’t wait to see how Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will hold up to the Wolves’ physical pressure. Let the show begin !
