Examples of playoff in a Sentence

1. Mathew Barzal:

   It’s a pretty veteran group over on the other side, i think whatever we did tonight, they’ve probably already forgotten about it. They’re going to be fresh for Game 5. We’ve been In a few playoff series past few years so we kind of got a feel on where our heads need to be at and where our focus is at. We’ll enjoy this one and once we leave the rink tonight it’s a tied series, three-game series.

2. Dwyane Wade:

3. Stephen Curry:

   It wasn't an easy game, obviously, we really had to battle all the way to the end. Klay hit a huge shot, and we got a big stop at the end of regulation. We used that momentum into overtime. The defense really carried us in overtime. It was a playoff kind of atmosphere. It was good.

   In the Marathon Classic, I played a playoff with Chella Choi... I thought too much that I want to be champion, so I don't want to think about being leader.
