Sports Seriously
The first spot in the conference finals of the 2025 NBA playoffs is secured.
Round two of the postseason has been a captivating one in the Association. In the East, the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers have been eliminated and the Indiana Pacers are conference final bound. In the other series, the defending champion Boston Celtics are down 3-1 to the New York Knicks and will have to play without star Jayson Tatum.
In the West, the No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves are one game away from returning to the Western Conference finals. Golden State is hoping Steph Curry can return to spark a rally. Then there’s the No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder, who lead the series against the Denver Nuggets, 3-2.
Here’s the complete NBA playoffs schedule, including results and broadcast information:
