迄今为止的五场比赛均由客队获胜
分区半决赛仅仅进行了五场比赛，但高顺位的主场球队却未尝胜绩。
骑士队在主场迎战步行者队，进行了第一场和第二场比赛，但两个晚上都未能取胜，昨晚的致命一击来自泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿(Tyrese Haliburton)。
凯尔特人和尼克斯之间的系列赛注定将是一场身体对抗激烈的较量，也是最有希望成为宿敌对决的系列赛。在一度落后20分的情况下，尼克斯队在加时赛中从凯尔特人队手中抢走了第一场比赛的胜利，从而获得了主场优势。
在西部赛区，丹佛掘金队凭借阿隆·戈登(Aaron Gordon)在还剩2.8秒时投中的三分球，从俄克拉荷马城雷霆队手中抢走了第一场比赛的胜利。
最后，第七种子金州勇士在对阵明尼苏达森林狼的第一场比赛中，大部分时间都保持着十分的领先优势。他们在斯蒂芬·库里(Steph Curry)缺阵的情况下做到了这一点，库里在第二节因腿筋拉伤离场。巴迪·希尔德(Buddy Hield)连续第二场比赛轻松投进三分球，让明尼苏达队始终无法迫近。
库里会回归吗？如果他不能，勇士队能否在第二场比赛中保持同样的势头？
今晚将进行尼克斯队和凯尔特人队的第二场比赛，随后是掘金队/雷霆队的第二场比赛。
凯尔特人队必须做出调整，这意味着要限制杰伦·布伦森(Jalen Brunson)。布伦森是尼克斯队的主要控球手，也是球队的进攻核心。
与此同时，雷霆队正在认识到，一支拥有冠军血统的球队在七场系列赛中是很难被击败的。

Open Thread: An upsetting beginning to the NBA Conference Semifinals
The road team has won each of the five games thus far
We’re only five games in the conference semifinals and the higher-seeded homes team have yet to win a game.
The Cavaliers hosted the Pacers for Games 1 and 2 and come up short on both nights, last night’s dagger coming at the hand of Tyrese Haliburton.
The Celtics and Knicks promises to be a physical series, the best bet for a grudge match. After being down by 20, the Knicks stole Game 1 from the Celtics in overtime giving them home court advantage.
In the Western Conference, Denver stole Game 1 from the Oklahoma City Thunder on a three from Aaron Gordon with 2.8 second left.
And finally, the seventh seed Golden State Warriors carried a ten-point lead throughout most of Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They did so without the services of Steph Curry, who left the game in the second quarter with a pulled hamstring. For the second game in a row, Buddy Hield knocked threes with ease, keeping Minnesota at arms length.
Will Curry return? And if he cannot, can the Warriors continue with the same momentum going into Game 2?
Tonight, it is Game 2 of the Knicks and Celtics followed by Game 2 of the Denver/OKC series.
The Celtics will have to adjust, which means containing Jalen Brunson. Brunson is the Knicks primary mall handler and the head of the snake.
Meanwhile, OKC is learning that a team with championship pedigree will be tough to overcome in a seven game series.
