NBA play-off picture is complete
The NBA 2013-2014 season play-off picture is complete. The biggest surprise is the Indiana Pacers who managed to stun the champions and take the first seed in the Easter Conference.
Without Lebron James and Chris Bosch, Miam Heat lost the match in Washington, 93 – 114. It's for the first time in three years Miami has not won the conference and will not benefit home court advantage in a possible Conference final. The champs will face Charlotte Bobcts in the first round. The team in South Florida sweeped the regular series, 4-0. Indiana Pacers will battle Atlanta Hawks for a place in the semifinals.
In the Western Conference it's all about the Golden State Warriors. Carried by the “Splash brothers”, GSW got the 50th victory in the regular season for the first time 20 years. Home team won 130-120 over Minnesota Timberwolves and will face LA Clippers in the first round of the play-offs. This appears to be the most balanced meeting with the regular season series tied at two.
San Antonio Spurs won the Western Conference followed by Oklahoma City Thunder. The SAS will face Memphis Grizzlies in the first round, while OKC will have home court advantage over the former champions Dallas Mavericks.
