The ambition is not enough. Eager to play spoilsport in these playoffs, Portland was eliminated in the first round by the tough team of Memphis, after latest setback conceded Wednesday by the partners of Nicolas Batum (99-93) in Tennessee. The French winger, 6 points and 10 rebounds to counter, has not been able to face the Grizzlies spirited away by the impeccable Marc Gasol (26 points-14 rebounds).
So Batum lost against the Spaniard. There are some days, the Habs had been at the heart of a controversy for posting the message “we do not lose against the Spanish” in the locker room of his team and even had to apologize. It’s that meetings between the Blues and Roja have often been strained on the international stage. In the NBA, the confrontation remained entirely correct and Gasol imposed its law in French in a series perfectly negotiated Memphis (4 wins to 1), which has much to do in the next round, the Golden State Warriors, best team regular season, standing in their way.
In the other match of the night, gave Atlanta the machine . After winning the first two games and then lost the next two, the Hawks were awarded the game 5 to Brooklyn expense (107-97). Three men are particularly illustrated: Demarre Carroll (24 points), Al Horford (20 points, 15 rebounds) and Jeff Teague (20 points, 8 assists). Suite and possible end of the series, Friday on the floor of the Nets
Top 5 of the night.
