Command Analysis

Boston Celtics

USA

It is safe to say that Celtics are at the peak of their form now. Team left no chances to Brooklyn in the first play-off round and then also beat Milwaukee in a seven-game series. Ime Udoka's men deserved a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals, where they are trying to take down the Heat.

Boston were unable to keep the lead after an aggressive start by Jayson Tatum and co. Opponent managed to turn the things around (107:118). However, the Celtics bounced back after that disappointing defeat and levelled the score in the second match (127:102). Now is the time to host the opponent.

Miami Heat

Heat did everything to secure a top spot in the Eastern Conference, so team approached the playoffs in a fantastic form. Team managed to beat Atlanta (4:1) and Philadelphia (4:2) in first knock-out rounds.

Miami are considered favourites of the Eastern Conference finals and in the first match of the series club managed to mount a comeback. Jimmy Butler was tearing apart Boston's defense and brought a victory to his team (118:107).
