The first stage of the most important competition in the world has ended, and we analyze how the positions and the main crossing for the play.
The best competition in the world concluded its regular season, in a marathon last day that featured 15 games. Tonight, the best happened in the Eastern Conference, where there were some remarkable results that reorganized the Boston Celtics guards. In the West, for the first time in NBA history, three teams came in with the possibility of taking first place. In that context, those from Oklahoma were left in the rivalry that gave them the long-awaited place, remembering that they came from a season in which they participated in the Play In.
Eastern Conference:
With the Boston Celtics already in possession for a few weeks, doubt has passed over the closest pursuers. The Knicks, Cavaliers and Bucks come in with the possibility of being second. Those from the Big Apple had to fight hard to beat the Chicago Bulls in a rivalry that required overtime at Madison Square Garden. With the home team’s emphatic 120 to 119 victory, the New Yorkers took second place, moving the Milwaukeeans into third place. Finally, those from Cleveland finished in fourth place.
Below, there are no changes in positions. The four teams that will compete in the Play In are: Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks. The first two will meet for the first time, the winner of that head-to-head will face the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs.
