In what was an exciting and eventful 2021-22 regular season, the NBA playoffs are following suit. Eight first-round series matchups tipped off last week, and already several teams have punched their tickets into the next round. The Boston Celtics were the first team to earn their spot in the semifinals, completing the four-game sweep of the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night.
The Miami Heat were able to join them, despite the absences of Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry. The Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers also earned a spot in the next round after ousting the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors, respectively. In the West, the Golden State Warriors finished off the Denver Nuggets to advance, while the Phoenix Suns ousted the New Orleans Pelicans. Also, the Dallas Mavericks put away the Utah Jazz Thursday in Game 6. Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies are one win away from clinching a spot in the semifinals and will have the chance to get there on Friday night.
