May 23rd News Recently, Clippers player Zubac accepted an interview with the US media BasketballNetwork.

Q: "The series against the Nuggets is a tough battle. What do you think is the decisive factor in that series? Is it Aaron Gordon's make-up dunk?"

Zubac: "Well, I think so. We led the G4 with a 2-1 2-1, but we didn't have any shape at all. After G3, there was a lot of reports in the media, their players said they were injured and had problems, and then we thought we had to attack strongly because they looked ready to give up... "

"They were 22 points at one point, but we caught it back. If the game was extended by another minute, I think we would definitely win, but unfortunately, a momentum of difference prevented us from entering overtime. Winning that game gave them confidence, gave them a sense of motivation, and everything changed. Unfortunately - that was our best chance to break the series deadlock in Game 4."

Asked: "What is your championship prediction for the remaining four teams?"

Zubac: "From the regular season, I really Love the Pacers. The way they play, and they won both of them against us this year. They are a very good team with a reasonable lineup. But I'm not sure if that's enough to win them the championship…"

"The Knicks are also good. They're a typical playoff team, relying on 6-7 key players, experienced playoff veterans. Then there's the Thunder, they've been great for most of the regular season, but Denver dragged them into a tiebreak, so they're not not ”

"I think the Timberwolves have the least chance. But I don't know, I think everything is going to be natural for Oklahoma this year. Their biggest opponents of the season, the Celtics and the Cavaliers, were eliminated, so now their road to winning the championship seems unblocked. If I had to choose, I would be betting on Oklahoma. But if any of these teams win, I wouldn't be surprised, there's a reason. There's really no obvious favorite to win the championship."
