2019 NBA Playoffs Round 1

By: Alan Huang & Hugo Xu

If you have not heard, the NBA playoffs are starting! The NBA playoff is a competitive basketball game best of 7 or first to 4. The name “NBA” stands for National Basketball Association. The playoffs are played to determine who is the conference champions. The first playoff game will start on April 13. The teams are split into East and West, with only 8 teams on each side.

 There is an NBA Playoff every year and out of the 16 teams, only 8 teams advance to semi conference finals. For this year, the western conference match ups are Warriors vs Clippers, Nuggets vs Spurs, Rockets vs Jazz, and Trail Blazers vs Thunder. The eastern conference match ups are the Bucks vs Pistons, Raptors vs Magic, 76ers vs Nets, and Celtics vs Pacers. Riya V. said, “I’m super excited for the playoffs because my parents always buy tickets to the Warriors games.” In game 1, Stephen Curry set a playoffs record for most career 3 pointers made in playoffs. While Curry is setting records Celtics and Pacers are only scoring 158 points all together with the score of 74 to 84.

 In the end there will only be one team who wins. Who do you think will win the Playoffs and the Finals?
