2026年NBA季后赛第二轮拉开帷幕，我们的NBA内部专家将为您全程报道东西部半决赛的每一场较量。
在东部，2号种子纽约尼克斯队在系列赛开局阶段两次击败7号种子费城76人队，取得大比分2-0的领先。与此同时，在另一组东部对决中，头号种子底特律活塞队在周二的第一场比赛中发力，战胜了克利夫兰骑士队。
在西部，6号种子明尼苏达森林狼队在周一迎回了伤愈复出的安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards)（左膝受伤），并从2号种子圣安东尼奥马刺队和维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 手中偷得一场胜利。周三，马刺队以一场38分的大胜击败明尼苏达，将大比分扳平。头号种子俄克拉荷马城雷霆队在首轮横扫菲尼克斯太阳队后，于周二击败4号种子洛杉矶湖人队，延续了此前的强势表现。
随着各支球队向拉里·奥布莱恩杯发起冲击，以下是两大分区的核心看点以及四组系列赛的关注重点。
跳转至系列赛：
尼克斯-76人 | 活塞-骑士
马刺-森林狼 | 湖人-雷霆
东部联盟
(3) 纽约尼克斯 2-0 领先 (7) 费城76人
- 第一场： 尼克斯 137, 76人 98
- 第二场： 尼克斯 108, 76人 102
第二场最大收获： 尼克斯队周二的胜利虽然不像前四场比赛那样漂亮，但纽约知道他们在关键时刻可以依靠杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson)。当76人队在比赛末段难以获得良好出手机会时，布伦森在很大程度上让尼克斯队保持了节奏，他在双方战成99平后投中了两记关键球，为球队取得了此后再未丢掉的领先优势。
这并不意味着收官阶段是完美的；76人队主教练尼克·纳斯 (Nick Nurse) 想方设法让球离开布伦森的手。但尼克斯队看起来确实活力充沛，卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 和 OG·阿奴诺比 (OG Anunoby) 保持了高效表现，并顶住了保罗·乔治 (Paul George) 和泰瑞斯·马克西 (Tyrese Maxey) 的反扑。他们在关键时刻让76人队节奏全乱，带着2-0的巨大领先优势前往费城参加周五的第三场比赛。 —— 文森特·古德威尔 (Vincent Goodwill)
第三场： 尼克斯对阵76人（周五，东部时间晚7点，Prime Video）
第三场看点： 首先是伤病更新。乔尔·恩比德 (Joel Embiid) 在缺席了第二场比赛后，能否在第三场出战？阿奴诺比的情况又如何？他在第二场比赛末段似乎抓了一下右腿后离场，且未再回归。阿奴诺比在纽约目前的季后赛征程中表现极其出色，而费城并没有很好的对位人选来限制他。
除此之外，76人队在第二场比赛的表现比第一场的惨败要好得多，但似乎在最后时刻后劲不足。他们能否在周五的第三场主场比赛中鼓起余勇击败纽约？如果不能，76人队恐怕就要提前谢幕了。最后，现场球迷的构成会是怎样？预计会有大量尼克斯球迷到场：两年前，那里的气氛有时感觉就像是纽约的主场。 —— 蒂姆·邦坦普斯 (Tim Bontemps)
(1) 底特律活塞 1-0 领先 (4) 克利夫兰骑士
- 第一场： 活塞 111, 骑士 101
第一场最大收获： 这组系列赛对活塞队主教练 J.B.·比克斯塔夫 (J.B. Bickerstaff) 来说带有个人色彩。赛前谈到他的老东家时，他刻意保持了简短的发言，仅承认他与骑士队的许多核心成员“相处了很长时间”，并在被问及这是否会在系列赛中对他有所帮助时回答了“是的”。
他的活塞队在第一节就迅速建立了37-21的优势，并打出了他们季后赛至今最好的进攻表现之一。底特律的五名首发球员得分全部上双。托拜厄斯·哈里斯 (Tobias Harris) 得到20分。邓肯·罗宾逊 (Duncan Robinson) 投中了五记三分球。但活塞队依然由凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham) 领衔，他砍下23分并送出7次助攻，将自己职业生涯前14场季后赛得分均不低于20分的纪录继续延伸。即便当骑士队在第四节还剩五分钟时将比分追成93平，坎宁安在压力下依然保持沉着，连续三次进攻助攻杰伦·杜伦 (Jalen Duren) 完成扣篮。
第二场： 骑士对阵底特律（周四，东部时间晚7点，Prime Video）
第二场看点： 骑士队在今年的季后赛中尚未在客场赢过球，要想做到这一点，他们必须停止失误。克利夫兰在第一场比赛中出现了19次失误，其中詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden) 贡献了7次。活塞队利用骑士队的失误总共得到了29分。进入系列赛前，骑士队表示他们相信此前与多伦多的系列赛能让他们为对阵活塞做好准备，因为活塞也是一支球风强悍且拥有围剿式防守的球队。但第一轮困扰骑士队的同样问题在周二晚上再次出现，他们必须重新调整策略，以避免陷入0-2的被动局面。 —— 贾马尔·科利尔 (Jamal Collier)
西部联盟
(2) 圣安东尼奥马刺 1-1 战平 (6) 明尼苏达森林狼
- 第一场： 森林狼 104, 马刺 102
- 第二场： 马刺 133, 森林狼 95
第二场最大收获： 在圣安东尼奥于西部半决赛第一场爆冷负于明尼苏达后，德阿伦·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 冷静地站在更衣室里，将圣安东尼奥犯下的错误描述为“非常容易修正”。马刺队在第二场比赛中证明了这一点，他们以133-95大胜森林狼队，创造了队史季后赛第三大分差的胜利。圣安东尼奥将大比分扳成1-1，随后将前往明尼苏达，而马刺队在过去的七次客场之旅中都未能在那里的主场取胜。福克斯和文班亚马这对全明星组合在第一场比赛中仅合砍21分，但在第二场比赛第二节过半时，两人就已经合力砍下28分，超过了前一场的总和。
圣安东尼奥在半场结束时将明尼苏达的得分限制在35分，投篮命中率限制在29.8%，三分球仅让对手投进2个，这三项数据均创下森林狼本赛季（包括常规赛和季后赛）任意半场的最低纪录。森林狼队在下半场开局打出9-0的冲击波，但马刺队迅速用窒息般的防守重新锁死了对手。
前三节，圣安东尼奥利用明尼苏达的19次失误得到了13分，并在禁区得分上以40-24领先客队。在文班亚马和卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 的干扰下，森林狼队的射手在前三节的投篮仅为19投5中。
与此同时，在第一场错失潜在绝杀球的朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在第三节三分球4投4中。根据 ESPN Research 的数据，圣安东尼奥在第三节投进了7记三分球，创下该队过去30个季后赛中单节三分球命中数的新高。在第一场犯满离场后，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在本场为马刺队砍下全场最高的21分。
森林狼球星爱德华兹再次替补登场，但影响力不如第一场。他在24分钟内13投5中，得到12分。 —— 迈克尔·C·莱特 (Michael C. Wright)
第三场： 马刺对阵森林狼（周五，东部时间晚9点30分，Prime Video）
第三场看点： 更多关于爱德华兹的关注。克里斯·芬奇 (Chris Finch) 和森林狼队在圣安东尼奥对他采取了谨慎使用的策略，连续两晚让他替补出场，以控制他的出场时间并保护他正在康复的左膝。他在第一场比赛凭借第四节得到的11分带领球队在客场取胜，而他的膝盖在两场比赛之间的48小时内反应良好。如果不是因为森林狼在进入第四节时已经落后35分，爱德华兹在第二场的出场时间本会超过24分钟。对他们来说，这原本是一场压力较小的比赛，因为他们已经通过第一场的胜利确保了平局。但接下来的两场比赛将大不相同。随着系列赛移师明尼阿波利斯，压力随之增加，爱德华兹的使用率和总出场时间应该会反映出这一点。外界普遍预计他将重新回到首发阵容，替换泰伦斯·香农 (Terrence Shannon Jr.) 或迈克·康利 (Mike Conley)。 —— 安东尼·斯莱特 (Anthony Slater)
(1) 俄克拉荷马城雷霆 1-0 领先 (4) 洛杉矶湖人
- 第一场： 雷霆 108, 湖人 90
第一场最大收获： 谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 打出了一个以其MVP标准衡量稍显失常的表现，但湖人队依然无法将分差缩小到逆转范围内。吉尔杰斯-亚历山大最终得到18分——这是他自上赛季西部决赛第三场失利以来的单场最低得分——同时仅有三次罚球，并出现了罕见的七次失误。切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren)（24分、12个篮板、3次盖帽）是俄克拉荷马城在第一场表现最好的球员。
这组系列赛中，湖人队后卫奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves) 面临着巨大压力，尤其是在卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 因腿筋拉伤缺阵的情况下。里夫斯在4月2日于俄克拉荷马城惨败的比赛中腹斜肌拉伤后迅速回归，但在本场比赛中16投仅3中，被限制到只有8分。为了让湖人队有真正的希望在这次分区半决赛中保持竞争力，他在接下来的比赛中必须表现得更好。 —— 蒂姆·麦克马洪 (Tim MacMahon)
第二场： 湖人对阵雷霆（周四，东部时间晚9点30分，Prime Video）
第二场看点： 在周二第三节的一次暂停期间，德雷克 (Drake) 的歌曲《Search & Rescue》响彻座无虚席的佩康中心球馆。“我走了这么远，可不是为了只走到这里却不快乐，”歌曲中金·卡戴珊 (Kim Kardashian) 的一段采样说道。
这段歌词极其贴切地描述了湖人队在对阵卫冕冠军时所承担的任务。主教练 JJ·雷迪克 (JJ Redick) 在第三节还剩4分35秒时请求了暂停，此前雷霆队在短短两分钟多一点的时间里打出了一波7-0的高潮，将原本4分的领先优势扩大到了两位数。尽管湖人队在没有东契奇的情况下为进入第二轮付出了巨大努力，但第一场比赛提醒了人们，失去了凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant) 的休斯顿火箭队与卫冕冠军及其加拿大球星吉尔杰斯-亚历山大绝非同一级别的对手。我们将在周四揭晓答案：是系列赛首战的前两节半预示着湖人队正在摸索对付这支常规赛统治过他们的雷霆队的方法，还是他们仅仅是浪费了一次面对开局状态稍显不佳（因为八天没打比赛）的雷霆队的机会。 —— 戴夫·麦克梅纳明 (Dave McMenamin)

2026 NBA playoffs: Conference semifinals takeaways
The second round of the 2026 NBA playoffs is here, and our NBA insiders have you covered for every game of the Eastern and Western conference semifinals.
The No. 2-seeded New York Knicks have opened their East series by beating the 7-seed Philadelphia 76ers twice for a 2-0 series lead. Meanwhile, the No. 1 seed Detroit Pistons pulled away for a Game 1 win Tuesday over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the other East series.
In the West, the sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves, who had Anthony Edwards (left knee injury) back for Game 1, stole a win over the 2-seed San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembanyama on Monday. On Wednesday, the Spurs evened the series with a 38-point blowout victory over Minnesota. The top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, who swept the Phoenix Suns in the first round, picked up where they left off with a win over the No. 4 seed Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.
As teams chase the Larry O’Brien Trophy, here’s what matters most in both conferences and what to watch for in all four series.

Eastern Conference
(3) New York Knicks lead (7) Philadelphia 76ers 2-0
- Game 1: Knicks 137, 76ers 98
- Game 2: Knicks 108, 76ers 102
Biggest takeaway from Game 2: The Knicks’ victory Tuesday wasn’t as pretty as the previous four games, but New York knows it can rely on Jalen Brunson down the stretch. While the 76ers struggled to get good looks late, Brunson kept the Knicks on task for the most part, hitting two critical buckets after the score was tied at 99 to give them an edge they wouldn’t relinquish.
It doesn’t mean the closing was perfect; 76ers coach Nick Nurse found ways to get the ball out of Brunson’s hands. But the Knicks did look fresh, with Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby staying efficient and surviving surges from Paul George and Tyrese Maxey. They kept the 76ers off-balance when it counted, taking a commanding 2-0 lead heading to Philadelphia on Friday for Game 3. – Vincent Goodwill
Game 3: Knicks at 76ers (Friday, 7 p.m. ET, Prime Video)
What to watch in Game 3: First, injury updates. Will Joel Embiid be able to play after sitting out Game 2? And what is the status of Anunoby, who left Game 2 late and didn’t return after appearing to grab at his right leg. Anunoby, in particular, has been tremendous throughout New York’s run so far, and Philadelphia doesn’t have a great matchup for him.
Beyond that, the 76ers played much better in Game 2 than the Game 1 rout loss, but appeared to run out of steam down the stretch. Can they summon the energy to beat New York at home in Game 3? If not, it’s probably curtains for the 76ers. And, finally, what will be the makeup of the crowd? Expect plenty of Knicks fans: Two years ago, it felt like a New York home game at times. – Tim Bontemps
(1) Detroit Pistons lead (4) Cleveland Cavaliers 1-0
- Game 1: Pistons 111, Cavaliers 101
Biggest takeaway from Game 1: This series is personal for Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff. He kept his comments intentionally short before the game when talking about his former squad, acknowledging only that he “spent a lot of time” with many of the Cavaliers core and responding “yes” when asked if that will help him in this series.
His Pistons squad raced out to a 37-21 advantage in the first quarter and put together one of their best offensive performances of the playoffs. All five Detroit starters finished in double figures. Tobias Harris scored 20 points. Duncan Robinson hit five 3-pointers. But the Pistons were again led by Cade Cunningham, who put up 23 points with seven assists, extending his streak of scoring at least 20 points in the first 14 games of his postseason career. Even when the Cavs rallied back to tie the score at 93 with five minutes left in the fourth, Cunningham stayed poised under pressure, finishing three straight possessions with an assist to Jalen Duren that resulted in a dunk.
Game 2: Cavaliers at Detroit (Thursday, 7 p.m. ET, Prime Video)
What to watch in Game 2: The Cavs still haven’t won a game on the road during this postseason and they’re going to have to stop turning the ball over to do so. Cleveland had 19 turnovers in Game 1, including seven by James Harden. The Pistons scored 29 total points off the Cavs’ giveaways. Entering the series, the Cavs said they believed their previous series with Toronto would prepare them for this series against the Pistons, another team that plays with a physical and swarming defense. But the same issues that hindered the Cavs in the first round showed up again Tuesday night and will send them back to the drawing board to avoid falling into a 2-0 hole. – Jamal Collier
Western Conference
(2) San Antonio Spurs tie (6) Minnesota Timberwolves 1-1
- Game 1: Timberwolves 104, Spurs 102
- Game 2: Spurs 133, Timberwolves 95
Biggest takeaway from Game 2: After San Antonio’s stunning loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, De’Aaron Fox stood calmly in the locker room and described the mistakes San Antonio made as “very fixable.” The Spurs demonstrated as much in Game 2, dominating the Timberwolves 133-95 for the third-largest playoff victory in franchise history. San Antonio tied the series 1-1 and will head to Minnesota, where the Spurs haven’t won in their past seven trips. The All-Star duo of Fox and Victor Wembanyama combined for just 21 points in Game 1 but had already surpassed that total midway through the second quarter by coming together for 28 points.
San Antonio limited Minnesota in the first half to its fewest points (35), worst field goal percentage (29.8%) and fewest 3-pointers (2) in any opening half this season, counting the regular season and the playoffs. The Timberwolves started the second half on a 9-0 run, but the Spurs quickly locked them down with suffocating defense.
San Antonio racked up 13 points off 19 Minnesota turnovers through the first three quarters, outscoring the visitors 40-24 in the paint over that span. Wembanyama and Luke Kornet held Minnesota’s shooters to 5-of-19 from the floor through the first three quarters on attempts they contested.
Meanwhile, Julian Champagnie, who missed the potential winning shot in Game 1, shot 4-of-4 from 3-point range in the third quarter as San Antonio drilled seven 3-pointers in the quarter, the club’s most in a playoff quarter over the past 30 postseasons, according to ESPN Research. After fouling out in Game 1, Stephon Castle scored a game-high 21 points for the Spurs.
Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards came off the bench again but wasn’t as impactful as he was in Game 1. Edwards shot 5-of-13 for 12 points over 24 minutes. – Michael C. Wright
Game 3: Spurs at Timberwolves (Friday, 9:30 p.m. ET, Prime Video)
What to watch in Game 3: More Anthony Edwards. Chris Finch and the Timberwolves slow-played him in San Antonio, bringing Edwards off the bench both nights to help manage his minutes and protect his healing left knee. He powered them to a Game 1 road win with 11 fourth-quarter points and his knee responded well during the 48 hours between games. Edwards would have gone longer than only 24 minutes in Game 2, but the Wolves entered the fourth quarter down 35. This was a low-pressure game for them, already securing the split with the Game 1 win. The next two won’t be. The pressure rises as the series shifts to Minneapolis, and Edwards’ usage and minute totals should reflect that. All expectations are that he will reenter the starting lineup for either Terrence Shannon Jr. or Mike Conley. – Anthony Slater
(1) Oklahoma City Thunder lead (4) Los Angeles Lakers 1-0
- Game 1: Thunder 108, Lakers 90
Biggest takeaway from Game 1: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a subpar performance by his MVP standards, but the Lakers still couldn’t stay within striking distance. Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 18 points – his lowest total in any outing since a Game 3 loss in last season’s Western Conference finals – while attempting only three free throws and committing an uncharacteristic seven turnovers. Chet Holmgren (24 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks) was Oklahoma City’s best player in Game 1.
There’s a lot of pressure on Lakers guard Austin Reaves in this series, especially with Luka Doncic sidelined by a hamstring strain. Reaves, who quickly returned from an oblique strain suffered during an April 2 blowout loss in Oklahoma City, was held to only eight points on 3-of-16 shooting. He will have to be much better moving forward to give the Lakers any legitimate hope of making these conference semifinals competitive. – Tim MacMahon
Game 2: Lakers at Thunder (Thursday, 9:30 p.m. ET, Prime Video)
What to watch in Game 2: During a third-quarter timeout Tuesday, Drake’s “Search & Rescue” flowed out of the speakers in the packed Paycom Center. “I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy,” an audio dub from Kim Kardashian says in the song.
The lyrics felt like an acutely appropriate way to describe the task the Lakers are undertaking against the defending champs. The timeout by coach JJ Redick came with 4:35 remaining in the third, after the Thunder had gone on a 7-0 run in just over two minutes to push what had been a four-point lead into double digits. For everything the Lakers accomplished to get to the second round without Doncic, Game 1 was a reminder that the Kevin Durant-less Houston Rockets are not the same type of opponent as the defending champs and their Canadian star, Gilgeous-Alexander. We’ll learn Thursday if the first 2½ quarters of the series opener was an indication of the Lakers figuring some stuff out against an OKC team that dominated them during the regular season – or if it was more of a wasted opportunity against a Thunder team that was only slightly out of sorts to begin the game because it hadn’t played in eight days. – Dave McMenamin
