Cleveland-Indiana 80-98 – Indiana meant that this time the first mug would not be easy for Cleveland. Pacers relied on a super Victor Oladipo’s game and dominated Cavaliers, causing LeBron James’s first defeat in the first round playoff challenge.

“King” James, among other things, interrupts the series of 21 consecutive successes in the first round. The last defeat, in fact, belonged to the remote May 2012, when the Knicks wins the fourth Grand Prix in Miami. Aggressive and disciplined defense, the attack on Olapido is at a good dose at Cavs.

Oklahoma City Thunder-Utah Jazz 116-108 – “One of thoshe nights” say on the other side of the ocean. One of those nights. For Paul George, the 36-point eight-point monster with 65% of the pitch, but also for Russell Westbrook and all of Oklahoma City Thunder, who won the first match against Utah, sending a clear Western Conference message: we are US too.

Jazz is worthy because they did not surrender to the end, as they tried in every way to approach. Donovan Mitchell, in the first play-off, scored 27 points and 10 rebounds./Flashsport24
