The NBA Playoffs continue to delight us with bright games. The next game day starts with an interesting confrontation, "Philadelphia" will go to visit "Atlanta". The sixth meeting of these teams will take place on June 19 at 02:30 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this meeting for you.
Atlanta Hawks»
Atlanta has a great blend of youth and experience in the team, which solved the problems with building the game this season. After a good start, Atlanta sank in the middle of the season and could not get into the playoff zone, but a bright finish allowed the team to be in the coveted six without any problems. Right now, the Hawks ' game is bright and fast, built on sharp counterattacks, which opponents are often not ready for. Atlanta managed to win the series against New York, giving the opponent only one game. With Philadelphia, Atlanta's players also performed well, and Young's brilliant form allows the team to lead in the series.
Philadelphia Sixers»
The Sixers had a good season, finishing first in the East. The new coach of the "Philadelphia", Rivers, has something to prove, because he is easily motivated by himself and transmits energy to his young players. In the first round, the team passed Washington without any problems, losing only once on the road. However, it is already hard to fight the Sixers with the brisk "Atlanta", they lost in the last game on their own court and were one step away from relegation, so we need to put all our strength in the upcoming game.

Forecast
The clear favorite in this confrontation looks like "Philadelphia", which has a more powerful and well-played squad, and will have exorbitant motivation, because it has no right to make mistakes. "Atlanta" in that series shows itself extremely successfully, but it is unlikely that they will be enough for one more match. I think the guests will win here.
