The odds of winning in their home winning teams won all matches on the second day of the North American Basketball Play (NBA) playoff.
The four Sunday meetings were two very smooth. Milwaukee Bucks defeated Detroit Piston with 35 points and Houston Rockets 32 with Utah Jazzt.
The match in Milwaukee was one-sided from the first moment, so much that the Bucks had hardly played. The team's star, Jannis Antetokounmpo, spent only 23 minutes on the field, but that time was enough for 24 points and 17 rebounds.
One of his best, Blake Griffin's Pistons, who had no knee injury, was already in the break with 27 points, and could not get closer to his rival against Bucks.
They didn't have to worry about domestic drukers in Houston either, but the Rockets led him confidently, but Utah wasn't as easy as Detroit. At the end of the third quarter, guests were only 12 points behind, then "destroyed" in the last 12 minutes as they got 39 points in the final stage.
In the Rockets, James Harden was the best with 29 points, 10 goals and 8 rebounds.
The closest match was played in Portland on Sunday, where domestic Trail Blazers beat five points at Oklahoma City Thunder. The guests were struggling, and even though they were in the second quarter with a 19-point disadvantage, in the fourth stage they reduced their drawback to 3, but they did not have a single ball to equalize during the match.
The best of the meeting was Damian Lillard with 30 points.
In Boston, home-made Celtics won 84 points, Indiana Pacers was only 74 points in 48 minutes.
