Congratulations: First team completed the promotion to the second round of the NBA playoffs tonight - and did it in the most perfect way possible.
Precisely the series that many believed would be the tightest in the 2022 playoffs in the best league in the world, has become extremely one-sided.
Boston completed a tremendous 0-4 win over Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Brooklyn.
Durant provided a tremendous game (39 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds), Kyrie Irving added 20 of his own, but that was not enough against
the Celtics, who won 112: 116
at the end of tense minutes.
Jason Taitum (29 points), Jaylen Brown (22) and Marcus Smart's double-double (20 points and 11 assists) were just big on the Nets.

After already being 3-0 behind Philadelphia, but
Toronto recorded an 88: 103 victory
, its second in a row - and maybe arranging a comeback for us from the movies.
Joel Ambide (20 points and 11 rebounds) stood out for Philly, but Pascal Siakam (23 points and 10 rebounds), Preshes Achiva (17 points and 7 rebounds) and the guys from Canada were just great tonight.
Even a very weak evening for James Harden, who recorded an unimpressive stat line in his terms with 15 points and 7 assists, did not contribute to the host.

Now the series returns to Canada, and Toronto will host Philadelphia for Game No. 6 on the night between Thursday and Friday.
And after all that, let's talk a little bit about Luka Doncic.
The Slovenian star's 33 points and 13 rebounds led the
Dallas Mavericks to a wonderful 77: 102 over the Utah
Jazz en route to a 2-3 draw in the series.
