Last Night’s NBA Playoff Highlights

Indiana Pacers 120, Cleveland Cavaliers 119 – Game 2

The Indiana Pacers pulled off a stunning comeback to take a 2–0 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Trailing by seven points with under a minute remaining, Tyrese Haliburton led the charge, finishing with 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists. His game-winning three-pointer with just 1.1 seconds left sealed the victory. Aaron Nesmith and Myles Turner each contributed 23 points, bolstering Indiana's offense. Despite Donovan Mitchell's impressive 48-point performance for the Cavaliers, Cleveland couldn't maintain their lead in the final moments.

Golden State Warriors 99, Minnesota Timberwolves 88 – Game 1

The Golden State Warriors secured a 1-0 series lead with their road victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves to open the second-round series. Stephen Curry had to leave the game with an apparent hamstring injury in the second quarter limiting him to 13 points in 13 minutes. His Warriors teammates stepped up in a big way on both ends of the court though with Buddy Hield dropping 24 points, Jimmy Butler adding 20 of his own, and Draymond Green even netting 18. Meanwhile the Wolves were stifled scoring their own points with Anthony Edwards leading Minnesota at 23 points. Curry's injury may be be perfect opportunity for Minnesota to capitalize and even the series in Game 2 on Thursday if he has to sit.
