2025 NBA Playoff Round Update

The second round has officially kicked off in the 2025 NBA playoffs, with the Minnesota Timberwolves tying their series against the Golden State Warriors at 1-1, thanks to a victory on Thursday night. The Warriors played without their star player Stephen Curry due to a hamstring injury, which left them vulnerable.

The action didn’t stop there. On Wednesday, the New York Knicks pulled off an impressive comeback victory against the Boston Celtics, overcoming a 20-point deficit—a feat they achieved for the second consecutive game. After this shocking start, the Knicks now hold a 2-0 lead against the defending champions.

In another exciting match, the Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Denver Nuggets after posting a record-tying 87 points in the first half, leveling that series to 1-1 as well. On the contrary, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are seeded first in the East, find themselves in a precarious position, having lost the first two games of their series against the Indiana Pacers, with Game 3 looming on Friday.
