Command Analysis
Golden State Warriors
USAThe Golden State Warriors cruised to the NBA Finals. Memphis was the only team to show some resistance - the Grizzlies won two games against Golden State. The Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets both lost 4:1.
The Warriors' success was due to their excellent team play and solid defense. In previous matches, they didn't give their opponents enough space, thus suffocating their attacks.
Boston Celtics
USAAt the start of the regular season, the Boston Celtics didn't look like a team capable of making it past the first round of the playoffs, often sitting outside the top-10 in the East. Many fans questioned Ime Udoka's capabilities as head coach.
Eventually, however, the Celtics found their form and defeated Milwaukee, Brooklyn, and Miami to reach the finals. Defeating the Warriors will require extra effort from Jayson Tatum and his teammates.
