ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Oklahoma City takes advantage of the field factor and brings on 2-0 the series against Phoenix, valid for the first round of the Nba playoffs. The Thunder archive the practice in three quarters and then close with the final score of 120-107. For Shai Gilgeous-Alexander there are 37 siren points with 5 rebounds and 9 assists. Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams add 19 points per head, while Isaiah Hartenstein touches double with 9 points and 10 rebounds. Suns, Dillon Brooks and Devin Booker are trying with 30 and 22 points, but the defending champions are not wrong in their walls. The series moves to Arizona for race-3 and race-4, scheduled on 25 (at 21:30) and 28 (3:30) April at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
Detroit makes up for the empty passage in race-1 and draws the series against Orlando. The Pistons beat 98-83 the Magics in the house and lead to 1-1. Cade Cunningham is there and closes with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists. Double double also for Tobias Harris, which contributes with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Paolo Banchero puts in 18 points and Jalen Suggs 19, but Orlando brings only four double-digit players and is forced to succumb to the Little Caesars Arena. A fundamental success for the Pistons, who will have race-3 (25 April at 19:00) and race-4 (28 April at 02:00) in Orlando to rebalance the field factor and return to Detroit for race-5.
