The NBA playoffs are underway with 16 teams in the hunt for the Larry O'Brien trophy
The NBA playoffs get underway, it seems as though the third-seeded Timberwolves are playing at a comfortable pace. With their most recent 126-109 victory against the Suns on Friday, they took a 3-0 series lead and are now one victory away from the second round.
Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning basket with seconds remaining helped the Pacers preserve their home court against the Bucks, who are still without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) despite Kris Middleton's 42 points.
In the other playoff game on Friday, the Mavericks defeated the Clippers 101-90 to take a 2-1 series lead.
