Hi steemates!
The second match plays in a row Washington on the omashny arena perfectly and wins against the favourite opposition on the first round of the playoffs. And here Boston upsets me again! They have conceded to Bucks with the score 104-102 in a yesterday's match. 2 points weren't enough everything Celtics and now the account in a series equal. Pelicans have created the first miracle in the playoffs of this season and could pass Portland with the account in a series 4-0. It became shock not only for fans of Blazzers, but also for bookmakers who gave on pass to a semi-final with whitewash coefficient 26,0.
Nevertheless the truth already on the home arena could show to "Minnesota Timberwolves" a good game. "Houston Rockets" is still a favourite of couple, the truth after defeat a situation has a little changed.

Minnesota Timberwolves

Minnesota 13 seasons in a row couldn't be qualified in play-off and at last this year it has occurred therefore the team can be already happy with result. On the other hand Tom Tibodo's wards had no objection to prove and games on elimination, however have got to one of favourites though the main fight still ahead.
In starting duels "wolves" couldn't oppose anything to the powerful attacks of James Harden and the company therefore Houston has quietly come forward. At Timberwolves it was necessary - to win and continue two exits fight, or to concede and minimize the chances of an exit in a next round. Minnesota has chosen the first option therefore we are waited some more by interesting oppositions.

Houstons Rockets

In this season "rockets" have a good chance to fight for the champion's title, there is such impression that this structure will be able to impose fight for the champion's title to the main applicant. James Harden and Chris Paul's game who perfectly supplement each other strikes and are the main weapon of "Rockets".
Michael D'Antoni's wards have begun very quietly and surely, the team has quite easily coped in the first match with Minnesota (104-101). At the second meeting the situation has repeated, the truth this time owners have beaten the rival with the score (102-82). In the third duel everything it seems went according to the plan of Houston, however Timberwolves have strongly added in an ending of a match and have pulled out a victory (121-105).

Statistics and personal meetings

For five last personal matches Minnesota has got only one victory.
Three previous home matches of Timberwolves have ended with a victory.
Houston in away matches has lost in this season ten times.
"Rockets" conduct in a series 2-1.

I think that the previous victory will help players "Minnesota Timberwolves" to believe in the forces, and they will give a good game again. "Houston Rockets" acts as the leader, however hardly guests will manage to beat the rival on departure.
