Experience beat the youth. I was expecting a bit more from Jazz but they are a very young team. Ambition of young people (Jazz) could not cope with the experience of older people (Rockets).

Yes. 76ers is a tough team. They have really good players. But they are young and we realized that they are also too unexperienced for the playoffs. Especially for a conference final. They made so easy mistakes during this series and it costed them the appearance in the conference finals.
