As NBA fans know, the playoffs have officially started, and there have already been a few surprising upsets. The first round has wrapped up, and we’ve seen some unexpected results.

One of the biggest upsets was the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 5 games. ESPN analyst Shannon Sharpe famously predicted, “Lakers in 5,” but the Timberwolves flipped the script, winning the series 4-1.

Another surprise came when the Indiana Pacers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks. While this may not be considered a textbook upset, it certainly felt like one. The Pacers are a young team, while the Bucks are a veteran squad led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has won an NBA championship in the past.

The rest of the playoffs also provided plenty of drama. The series between the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets was particularly exciting, with many games being extremely close.

In another thrilling matchup, the Golden State Warriors won their series against the Houston Rockets in 7 games. Stephen Curry led the Warriors to victory, and the series was as close as it gets in the playoffs.

Overall, this year’s playoffs have been full of surprises and excitement, with many teams making strong runs. Now, with the second round of the playoffs underway, fans are eagerly hoping for more thrilling games and a memorable finish to the season.
