Dončićev Dallas razbijen na startu play-offa, Harden i Zubac su im održali čas košarke
Clippersi su slavili 109:97, što nije rezultat koji sugeriše na katastrofu, ali igra Dallasa tako je izgledala dobrim dijelom utakmice.

Dominacija Clippersa nastavljena je i u drugom dijelu meča, a Dallas je samo uspio da ublaži poraz u meču u kojem je ekipa izgledala kao raštimani orkestar.
Zubac does not shoot threes, but his touch from 5-9 feet gives the Clippers more spacing than you'd expect with a traditional 5.

This is a shot you'd give up to any non star centers but Zu makes about 2/3rds of his shots from this range. pic.twitter.com/I9CUtzE4aA
Siguran trijumf je upisala i najbolja ekipa lige u regularnoj sezoni Boston. Celticsi su sa 114:94 na domaćem parketu deklasirali Miami, a triple-double je upisao Jayson Tatum sa 23 poena, 10 skokova i 10 asistencija.
"Erik Spoelstra called a timeout with a 1:30 left down by 16, 30 seconds later that play happens... that looked shady to me."

Blistao je Damian Lillard sa 35 poena kod Bucksa, dok je 23 koša dodao Khris Middleton. Pacersima nije pomogla brutalna partija Pascala Siakama od 36 poena i 13 skokova.
Za kraj, Oklahoma je 94:92 savladala New Orleans Pelicanse, a šut za pobjedu gostiju uz zvuk sirene promašio je CJ McCollum.
