Sixteen teams in total make the NBA playoffs, eight teams from both the Eastern and Western Conference. The top six seeds in each conference advance based on the regular season record. The final two seeds in each conference are determined by the NBA Play-In Tournament.
The Pacers won Games 1, 2 and 5 at Rocket Mortgage Arena to help secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. Indiana needed to battle back from a 12-point first-quarter deficit. Tyrese Haliburton's three-point shooting played a huge role in clawing back into the game.
The second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs has begun, as eight teams look to take another step closer to a title. All four rounds of the NBA playoffs are best-of-seven, and teams are not reseeded after each round.
The second round has started out with a series of upsets on the road, showing things are even at the top of the NBA.
The Wolves eliminated the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, their fourth straight win after Stephen Curry was injured in Game 1. Minnesota fell short against the Dallas Mavericks in the WCF last season, and the team will face either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Denver Nuggets this year.
