The second round is underway in the 2025 NBA playoffs, and Thursday night saw the Minnesota Timberwolves knock off the Golden State Warriors, who were without Stephen Curry due to his hamstring injury, to tie the series at 1-1.
Wednesday night was far more eventful as the New York Knicks erased a 20-point lead for the second time in as many games to beat the Boston Celtics. The Knicks are up 2-0 against the reigning champs after a pair of shocking come-from-behind wins at TD Garden, and they’ll head back to Madison Square Garden on Saturday. Wednesday’s action also saw the first win by a home team in the second round as the Oklahoma City Thunder trounced the Denver Nuggets after scoring a record-tying 87 points in the first half. The Thunder’s win evened the series at 1-1.
Elsewhere in the East, the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers are in some trouble after dropping the first two games of their series against the Indiana Pacers. Game 3 of that series is set for Friday night.
