The NBA playoffs are heating up as we head into the second round, with two Game 7s on the horizon. The Indiana Pacers managed to stave off elimination with a Game 6 victory over the New York Knicks, setting up a thrilling Game 7 showdown on Sunday. The winner will advance to face the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals.
In the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves will also be going to a Game 7 after a hard-fought series. The Nuggets had won three games in a row before the Timberwolves bounced back with a blowout win in Game 6. The stakes are high as both teams vie for a spot in the conference finals.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have the opportunity to be the first team to secure a spot in the Western Conference finals if they can close out the series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. The Mavericks have been impressive in their recent matchups against the Thunder and will look to finish strong at home.
With the field narrowing down from 20 teams to just seven, the intensity of the playoffs continues to rise. The upcoming Game 7s promise to be must-watch events as teams battle it out for a chance at the conference finals. Stay tuned for all the action as the NBA playoffs unfold.
