A new week, a new round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
Eight teams advanced past the first round and are now looking to earn spots in the Eastern and Western Conference finals. The Warriors and Timberwolves will square off in the opening game of their second-round series on Tuesday night.
The Warriors once again proved to be a hurdle that the Rockets cannot overcome. Golden State upset the West's No. 2 seed in an intense seven-game series, beating Houston in Game 7 behind a 33-point outburst from Buddy Hield.
Minnesota also eliminated a higher seed, taking down the No. 3 Lakers in five games. Despite a rough shooting performance in Game 5, the Timberwolves prevented the possibility of a comeback by physically dominating a center-less LA squad.
Which team will jump out to a 1-0 lead in the conference semifinals?
