When Sunday morning started, all four series were 2-1. Early in the afternoon, the Oklahoma City Thunder tied up their series against the Denver Nuggets.
The Thunder are the youngest team in the league and the Nuggets are the 2022-2023 NBA champions.
In fact, both Western Conference match-ups feature younger squads against experienced teams.
Minnesota is currently leading their series against the 2021-2022 NBA champion Golden State Warriors. The former champs are playing without their two-time league MVP Stephen Curry, but have gotten a boost from Jimmy Butler since trading for him last February.
Will the Warriors tie up the series or sink to a 3-1 deficit before assessing Curry’s availability?
In Sunday’s second game, the Cavaliers went into Indianapolis to tie up their series. After dropping the first two games, they’re playing with the backs against the wall.
The Cavaliers are now in a 3-1 hole that hasn’t been overcome by the franchise since their 2016 title run. Can they do it? Indiana’s 80-point first half insinuates otherwise.
Today the Celtics look to even their series in Madison Square Garden. After allowing 20 points leads to escape and losing Games 1 and 2 at home, they controlled Game 3 handily.
This round of games has had a little bit of everything — overtimes, home court advantage swaps, blowouts, and buzzer-beaters.
