NBA playoffs: Second-round scores, schedule, TV info, predictions

Unexpected and intriguing matchups highlight the NBA’s Eastern and Western conference semifinals.

The fifth-seeded Knicks advancing to the second round isn’t surprising, but their opponent, the eighth-seeded Miami Heat, pulled off a huge upset over top-seeded Milwaukee. Great coaching and overachievers highlight this series.

Philadelphia-Boston should be a heavyweight fight with the winner most likely the favorite to win the East. The Celtics and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been knocking at the door, and the 76ers are desperate to get out of the second round with Joel Embiid. 

The seventh-seeded Lakers bring momentum and a season-high confidence into another California-based series against Golden State.
