After the series, even the Bucks fans joked among themselves—on the bright side, aren't we always improving? The point gap is getting smaller. If the series had 10 games, there would definitely be a day we'd win.
The series between the Bobcats and the Bucks was the least suspenseful in the East, and there were two series without suspense over in the West as well—Lakers VS Jazz Team.
Although the Lakers were fifth, they had a better record. Starting at home, they won the first two games, not by as much as the Bobcats, but still won by a total of 31 points, 101 to 86 and 94 to 78 respectively. By game 3, the Jazz Team at home seemed to have given up resisting, their defense collapsed, letting the Lakers score 122 points. Yet the Jazz Team didn't unleash their offense, scoring only 81 points, suffering a brutal 41-point loss.
In game 4, the Lakers seemed to start playing casually, easily defeating the Jazz Team 105 to 96, sweeping the series 4-0 to advance to the second round.
