The summary: The first few games in the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Final have been described as “dominant,” with the home teams performing exceptionally well. Let’s dive in.
The Boston Celtics have taken a 2-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks. Despite another triple-double from Luka Dončić, the Celtics managed to secure a 105-98 win in Game 2, with five players scoring double-digit points. Jrue Holiday led the team with 26 points, while Jayson Tatum put up a near triple-double performance.
With the series now heading to a new venue for Game 3, there is some breathing room for the players and time for rest, especially for Dončić and Kyrie Irving.
Goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky played a crucial role in the Florida Panthers’ Game 1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Bobrovsky stopped an impressive 32 shots, helping the Panthers secure a 3-0 win. Despite the Oilers taking more shots on goal, they couldn’t get past Bobrovsky’s defense.
Will Connor McDavid, Edmonton’s leading man, be able to bounce back from the shutdown? Tune in to Game 2 from Sunrise, Florida, tonight at 8 p.m. ET to find out.
