Game 1: CelTics 103, Magic 86

What we learned:
Even when Celkus appears stuck in the mud, and even when Gilin Brown and Jason Tatum They enjoy grants of nights-bilateral in the US Professional League combined to shoot 14 for 36 and 1 compared to 10 Deep-heroes defenders have more than sufficient offensive weapons. Payeton Briton and Derek WhiteWho were collected to reach 11 out of 16 throws in Boston, provided that Sunday spin is to help convert deficit at the end of the first half to one point to 11 points entering the fourth quarter.

Game 1: Heat in Cavaliers (Sunday, 7 pm Easter, TNT))

One thing to see from Cavaliers:
Will they be the elite of 3? Before March 11, CAVS was first in the shooting rate of 3 points and was at the forefront for several months. Since then, they are 19. Which will be when it matters? Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland They are great game makers and shot makers, CAVS covers defensive palaces with a wonderful rear line in Ivan Mobly and Garrett Allen. But it works better when their main guards make 3s. Mitchell launched 39 % before the rest of the stars and 30 % yet. Garland divorced 43 % before and 34 % yet. They collect to take 16 times the game, so this percentage makes a big difference for its margin for error. – Brian Windhour

One thing to see from the heat:
There is no way for heat to do this again … or can they do that? After becoming the first 10 qualifying seeds by sending both Bulls and Hawks on the road within three days, you will now try to advance from the first round of the play again. Absence Jimmy Bater III This time, however, it is a big difference. But the heat he spent throughout the season plays well for three quarters, just to collapse over and over again at the fourth. If they can avoid this in this series, they have at least they have the ability to make this a little interesting. – Tim Pontims


Game 1: Knicks 123, Pistons 112

What we learned:

Fine or not, when entering the series, there was a lot of talking about the group qualifiers for KNICKS for Pistons, who are characterized by a group of major youngsters. It was difficult to deny this aspect late, when Detroit opened the fourth period in Madison Square Garden with a five -dollar violation, then followed this sales with a violation around the clock. This was a sign of the coming things, as New York jumped on mistakes and started in the best 21-0 season for 4 minutes.

Detroit had a lot to feel satisfied in three quarters. The job she performed defensive Gallin Bronson. Its ability to rotate Og Anunoby In the crime of one man. Pistons and the movement of the ball were so solid Kadi Caningham It was held in the recording column for extensions. But everything collapsed to start the fourth-a period in which New York outperformed Detroit 40-21-and veteran Nix did not look back.

Game 2: Press in Nix (Monday, 7:30 pm Eastern time, TNT))

What do you see:
Bronson’s health, who started the game by shooting 2 against 13, but after that, after appearing to modify his ankle-and change his shoes-seemed to be a different player late. In five of his seven shots, he continued during the fourth -quarter dominant quarter. When asked about the status of his star’s guard and a late change of shoes from the game, coach Tom Thebodo said: “I think he grabbed his head.”

On the other side of the professor’s book, it can be said that it is more important to provide it at risk, is Pistons Big Man Isaiah StewartWho left the game 1 with a clear knee case and no longer. His body behind him Gallin Doreen It can be the key to this series, especially with Mitchell Robinson It looks strong off the New York seat.

Game 1: Pesars 117, Bache 98

What we learned:
The depth of Besars was clear throughout the match, as she defeated Indiana’s deep rotation in Milwoki AnttokounmpoCentral attack. Indiana got a few defensive answers against Antetokounmpo, which ended 36 points and 12 rebounds and offered periods of hegemony in this match from the first round series last season. But MVP twice ended with only one help, as the Pacers team blocked the remaining players in the limited Milwoke to 34 % of the stadium.

A main indication of the difference in the movement of the ball between the teams in the total assistance numbers has been proven; Indiana ended 28 years while Milwaukee had only 15 years. This led to a balanced score voltage of Pacers, with five players at dual points, led by Pascal Siyam25.
