The second round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs is underway.
The top four seeds in both conferences took care of business in the first round. In the West, the No. 1 seeded Suns will now battle the No. 4 seeded Mavericks, while the No. 2 seeded Grizzlies will face the No. 3 seeded Warriors. In the East, the No. 1 seeded Heat will take on the No. 4 seeded 76ers, while the No. 2 seeded Celtics and No. 3 seeded Bucks will go head-to-head.
The second round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs began on May 1 with an early doubleheader. Both the Bucks and Warriors stole home court with road wins in Boston and Memphis, respectively. Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated on both ends of the floor in an emphatic Bucks win while the Warriors outlasted the Grizzlies, surviving a miss by Ja Morant at the buzzer.
