On April 27, Beijing time, with the NBA ending three playoff games this day, the Heat eliminated the Hawks 4-1 to become the second team to advance to the second round, and the Hawks followed the Nets to become the second team in the game. The Grizzlies and Suns both won the battle against Tennosan, and both led 3-2 to seize the match point to seize the promotion opportunity. The two eastern divisions are over, while the remaining two groups of Bucks and Philadelphia get the match point, the Western 3 group 3-2 is the top team to win the match point in the Battle of Tennoyama, and the Warriors are only one win away from qualifying.
Eastern pattern
Two groups ended: Heat 4-1 Hawks, Celtics 4-0 Nets
Two match points: Bucks 3-1 Bulls, Philadelphia 3-2 Raptors
After the Celtics swept the Nets 4-0 and completed the only sweep in the first round of promotion, the Green Army became the first team to qualify, and the Nets were the first team to play the game.
Now the Heat lack the two cores of Butler and Lowry in the G5 game, but still under the leadership of Oladipo and Adebayo 20+ to defeat the Hawks to complete the 4-1 promotion. The Heat once again limited Trae Young to 2-of-12 in a single game, while the Heat became the second team to qualify with excellent offensive and defensive performances, and the Hawks became the second team in the game.
As for the Bucks leading the Bulls 3-1, the next game back at home, the defending champion is favored to settle the battle in 5 games to advance. As for Philadelphia being chased to 3-2 after losing two consecutive games, whether they can stop the decline in their next away game is extremely critical, and once they lose another game and are dragged into the seven major battles, there is no doubt that Philadelphia has the possibility of being overturned.
Western pattern
Three groups win over Tenno Mountain: Suns 3-2 Pelicans, Grizzlies 3-2 Timberwolves, Mavericks 3-2 Jazz
A group of promotions in sight: Warriors 3-1 Nuggets
The situation in the west is clearer than in the east, and it is undoubtedly quite more sticky, especially with the 3 groups of duels into the Battle of Tennozan. The Lone Ranger defeated the Jazz the day before to win the Battle of King's Hill, and the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves with 18 points in the final quarter, especially the final-minute quasi-kill, and the Suns defeated the Pelicans, so the West had three groups to win the match point 3-2.
Even if the Warriors are pulled back by the Nuggets, the Warriors who lead 3-1 are still the overall strength dominant, and are expected to return to the home court to defeat the Nuggets to solve the battle, and they are also expected to advance to the second round.
