The National Basketball Association played three playoff games last night.
Phoenix is no longer a favorite against New Orleans. Last night, “solar” sensationally lost to their opponent in the first round of the home playoffs on court 114: 125.
Thus, the “Pelicans” removed the home court advantage from winning the regular season.
There were no surprises in the other matches last night, and the favorites were predicted to win: Miami – Atlanta 115: 105, and Memphis – Minnesota 124: 96.
