Basketball. NBA. Playoffs. Eastern Conference. Final. "Orlando" - "Boston" - 88:92. The series score is 0--1.
Boston won the opening game of the Eastern Conference finals. By the beginning of the fourth quarter, the guests' advantage was 16 points, and even the hosts' desperate push in the last segment of the match (30:18) did not bring them success. The key to Celtic's victory was the effective play of Ray Allen, who scored 25 points, and Paul Pearce (22). “At the end of the regular season, when we seemed to have lost our game, some teams seemed to be specially adjusting to us in the standings. Well, payback comes sooner or later,” Ray Allen said after the game.
Nadal won the tournament in Madrid
Rafael Nadal won the Masters tennis tournament in Madrid. In the final, which lasted more than two hours, the Spaniard beat world number one Roger Federer from Switzerland - 6:4, 7:6 (7:5). “It’s incredible that I managed to win all three clay Masters this season,” the winner said after the match. — It’s something special for me to win in Madrid. Beating Roger is also always an event; I always dreamed of beating him at a home tournament.”
The current victory was the 39th in the tennis player’s career at ATP tournaments and allowed Nadal to move to second place in the rankings with 6880 points, displacing Serbian Novak Djokovic (6405) from this position. Roger Federer tops the ranking of world tennis leaders (10,030).
