东部联盟

(4) 克利夫兰骑士 4-3 击败 (1) 底特律活塞

第七场最大看点： 骑士队终于跨过了这道坎。在连续两个赛季止步于这一轮后，由多诺万·米切尔 (Donovan Mitchell)、埃文·莫布里 (Evan Mobley) 和贾勒特·阿伦 (Jarrett Allen) 组成的核心阵容在合作的第四个赛季终于闯入了东部决赛。

克利夫兰在交易截止日全力以赴，通过一笔大胆的交易引进了詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden)，旨在解决此前导致失利的短板，确保为这一时刻做好更充分的准备。但这支骑士队更加健康、经验更丰富，并准备好通过一场客场的抢七大战胜利来打破过往的质疑。

骑士队从开场哨响就表现得更具侵略性，统治了第一节，并在半场结束时领先17分。当活塞队在第三节发起反击时，米切尔和阿伦用一波得分潮予以回击，将领先优势扩大到26分。米切尔最终得到26分、8次助攻和7个篮板，这是他九年职业生涯中首次突破第二轮。阿伦正在成为抢七大战的大心脏球员，他砍下23分，加入了米切尔和勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 的行列，成为骑士队史上仅有的几位多次在抢七大战中得分20+的球员。此外，克利夫兰还得到了萨姆·梅里尔 (Sam Merrill) 的强力支援，他从替补席挺身而出，投中5记三分球，贡献了23分。

骑士队的进攻让活塞队难以招架。底特律在常规赛赢下了60场比赛并夺得东部头名，却在季后赛中折戟。活塞队此前在首轮对阵奥兰多魔术队时，在1-3落后的不利局面下连赢三场完成逆转，随后又在克利夫兰赢球强行拖入这场抢七。在主场遭遇一场惨败丢掉决胜局，会让底特律整个夏天都感到隐隐作痛。尽管如此，活塞队在本赛季之前自2008年以来从未赢过季后赛系列赛，对于一支仍在成长的年轻球队来说，这已经超出了预期。他们今年夏天的挑战将是为凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham) 寻找一个他在整个季后赛都缺失的真正第二得分点。—— 贾马尔·科利尔 (Jamal Collier)

(3) 纽约尼克斯 4-0 击败 (7) 费城76人

第四场最大看点： 尼克斯队正在展现一种极具凝聚力的篮球风格，这或许是他们整个赛季都在努力构建的目标。

但即使是最乐观的尼克斯铁杆球迷也无法预见到这一切：抓住对手的每一个失误，以及近乎破纪录的疯狂三分投射。尼克斯在第四场30分大胜中投中了25记三分球，追平了NBA季后赛历史纪录。

现在，他们本赛季在底特律0胜3负的战绩似乎已无关紧要，对阵克利夫兰2胜1负的战绩亦是如此。底特律曾凭借上赛季首轮系列赛的动力击败过他们，但这一次尼克斯是否变得更加坚韧？骑士队曾在圣诞大战中让尼克斯陷入困境，随后纽约在第四节打出了一波流，那场面就像过去七场季后赛的缩影。

也许那正是一个预兆。—— 文森特·古德威尔 (Vincent Goodwill)

西部联盟

(2) 圣安东尼奥马刺 4-2 淘汰 (6) 明尼苏达森林狼

第六场最大看点： 在马刺队139-109大胜森林狼并挺进西部决赛的第六场比赛中，明尼苏达在圣安东尼奥阵容天赋分配带来的难题面前败下阵来。马刺队将于周一在佩康中心 (Paycom Center) 与俄克拉荷马城雷霆队进行备受瞩目的分区决赛首战。

很自然地，明尼苏达重兵防守文班亚马，结果马刺后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和德阿伦·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 在开局阶段就撕碎了森林狼的防线。在手感火热的第一节，卡斯尔和福克斯得分或助攻了全队36分中的28分。这对组合在半场结束时的强投命中率合计8投7中，而在此期间，只要文班亚马没有触球，马刺全队的投篮合计30投18中。

圣安东尼奥充分享受了这位法国人带来的防守牵制力红利。随后，马刺队在第二节开局打出一波20-0的进攻高潮，这追平了球队在文字直播时代季后赛第三大的得分潮，似乎彻底击垮了明尼苏达。再加上新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)，圣安东尼奥的三位核心后卫在前三节包揽了球队58.2%的得分。他们合计投篮30投23中，其中三分球12投9中，并送出15次助攻。

圣安东尼奥在半场一度领先多达29分，但明尼苏达凭借2-3联防以及安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 在第二节砍下的12分展开反击。问题在于，森林狼首发阵容中的其他球员均无建树。—— 迈克尔·C·莱特 (Michael C. Wright)

(1) 俄克拉荷马城雷霆 4-0 淘汰 (4) 洛杉矶湖人

第四场最大看点： 谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 在第四节还剩8分37秒时重新回到场上，比他平时的轮换时间早了两分钟多。其目标是通过在周一晚上终结湖人队，让这位MVP获得额外的休息时间。任务圆满完成，雷霆队成为自2017年勒布朗·詹姆斯的克利夫兰骑士队以来，首支在季后赛前两轮均完成横扫的卫冕冠军。

吉尔杰斯-亚历山大在第四节得到了他系列赛新高的35分中的9分，亲手将湖人队送入了一个充满不确定性的夏天。即将进入自由市场的奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves) 贡献了27分、6个篮板和6次助攻，但在比赛还剩8秒时错失了一记可能扳平比分的三分球。如果这是詹姆斯穿上湖人球衣——甚至是NBA球衣——的最后一场比赛，他依然战斗到了最后，砍下24分和12个篮板。—— 蒂姆·麦克马洪 (Tim MacMahon)

The No. 3-seeded New York Knicks swept the seventh-seeded Philadelphia 76ers in the East. The fourth-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers knocked off the No. 1 seed Detroit Pistons on Sunday to set up the conference finals matchups.

In the West, the sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves were knocked out by the 2-seed San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembanyama in six games on Friday. Meanwhile, the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, who swept the Phoenix Suns in the first round, picked up where they left off with another sweep over the No. 4 seed Los Angeles Lakers.

As the chase for the Larry O’Brien Trophy heats up, here’s what matters most in both conferences and what to watch for in all four series.

Eastern Conference

(4) Cleveland Cavaliers beat (1) Detroit Pistons 4-3

Biggest takeaway from Game 7: The Cavs finally got over the hump. After losing in back-to-back seasons in this round, the core of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen has finally advanced to the Eastern Conference finals in their fourth season together.

Cleveland went all-in at the trade deadline to ensure they were more prepared for this moment, acquiring James Harden in a bold move aimed at fixing the reasons for their previous disappointments. But these Cavs were healthier, more experienced and ready to erase previous narratives with a Game 7 win on the road.

The Cavs were the more aggressive team from the opening tip, dominating the first quarter and taking a 17-point lead into halftime. When the Pistons made a run in the third quarter, Mitchell and Allen rebuffed it with a scoring barrage to extend the lead to 26. Mitchell finished with 26 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and has advanced past the second round for the first time in his nine-year career. Allen is becoming a Game 7 riser, scoring23 points and joining Mitchell and LeBron James as the only Cavs with multiple 20-point Game 7s in team history. And Cleveland got a huge boost from Sam Merrill, who knocked down five 3-pointers and scored 23 points off the bench.

The Cavs’ offense was too much for the Pistons to overcome. Detroit won 60 games and grabbed the top seed in the conference before stumbling in the postseason. The Pistons staved off elimination with three consecutive wins to rally from a 3-1 first-round deficit against the Orlando Magic, then forced their most recent Game 7 after a win in Cleveland. A blowout loss at home in this decisive game will sting all summer for Detroit. Still, the Pistons hadn’t won a playoff series before this season since 2008, exceeding expectations for a young team still growing. Their challenge this offseason will be getting Cade Cunningham the true second scoring option that he was lacking all postseason. – Jamal Collier

(3) New York Knicks beat (7) Philadelphia 76ers 4-0

Biggest takeaway from Game 4: The Knicks are playing a cohesive brand of basketball, one they perhaps had been building up to all season long.

But even the most orange-and-blue-eyed optimist couldn’t have foreseen this: the capitalizing on mistakes, the torrid 3-point shooting, bordering on a record pace. The Knicks’ 25 3-pointers in their 30-point Game 4 victory tied for the most in NBA playoff history.

Now, their 0-3 record in Detroit this season doesn’t seem to matter, and nor does their 2-1 mark against Cleveland. Detroit beat them up, heavily motivated from last season’s first-round series, but are the Knicks a much tougher bunch this time around? The Cavs had the Knicks on the ropes on Christmas Day before New York put on a fourth-quarter run that seemed like the past seven playoff games.

Perhaps it was an omen. – Vincent Goodwill

Western Conference

(2) San Antonio Spurs eliminate (6) Minnesota Timberwolves 4-2

Biggest takeaway from Game 6: Minnesota buckled under the quandary posed by the distribution of talent on San Antonio’s roster in the Spurs’ 139-109 win in Game 6 that punched their ticket to the Western Conference finals. The Spurs will face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday in Game 1 of the much-anticipated conference finals at Paycom Center.

Naturally, Minnesota loaded up to stop Victor Wembanyama, only for Spurs guards Stephon Castle and De’Aaron Fox to carve up the Timberwolves early. Castle and Fox scored or assisted on 28 of the team’s 36 points in a sizzling opening quarter. The duo shot a combined 7-of-8 on contested attempts in the first half, as the Spurs combined to shoot 18-of-30 over that span whenever Wembanyama didn’t get a touch.

San Antonio ate heartily off the Frenchman’s gravity, however. Then, it seemed the Spurs had broken Minnesota when they opened the second quarter on a 20-0 run that tied for the team’s third-largest postseason surge in the play-by-play era. Throw rookie guard Dylan Harper into the mix, and San Antonio’s trio of lead guards combined for 58.2% of the team’s scoring over three quarters. They combined to shoot 23-of-30 from the field and 9-of-12 from deep with 15 assists.

San Antonio led by as many as 29 points in the first half, but Minnesota clawed back with a 2-3 zone defense and a 12-point second quarter from Anthony Edwards. The problem? Nobody else in the Timberwolves’ starting lineup scored. – Michael C. Wright

(1) Oklahoma City Thunder eliminate (4) Los Angeles Lakers 4-0

Biggest takeaway from Game 4: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander checked back into the game with 8:37 remaining in the fourth quarter, more than a couple of minutes earlier than his regular rotation. The goal was to get the MVP some extra rest by closing out the Lakers on Monday night. Mission accomplished, as the Thunder became the first defending champions since LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017 to sweep the first two series of the playoffs.

Gilgeous-Alexander scored nine of his series-high 35 points in the fourth quarter to help send the Lakers into a summer of uncertainty. Austin Reaves, who enters free agency, had 27 points, six rebounds and six assists but missed a potential tying 3-pointer with eight seconds remaining. If this was LeBron James’ last game in a Lakers uniform – or even the NBA – he went down swinging with 24 points and 12 rebounds. – Tim MacMahon
