The Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder looked very much like the dominant teams they were during the regular season in securing lopsided first-round playoff series wins. Suddenly, both teams are facing their first dose of adversity this postseason following Game 1 losses to open Round 2.

Game 2 looked a lot like Game 1 for New York with a 20-point deficit, a lopsided scoring run and a Mikal Bridges steal to ice the win.

The second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs continued this weekend, with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics emerging victorious in Game 3s. The Wolves and Nuggets now hold 2-1 leads in their series, while the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are the ones up 2-1 in their respective matchups.
