The home teams took care of business last night, with the Cavaliers, Knicks and Nuggets all winning to go 2-0 up in their respective series. The Knicks needed a wild finish that started with a lucky bounce on a 3-pointer from Jalen Brunson followed by a steal, a scramble and a go-ahead 3-pointer from Donte DiVincenzo in the closing seconds. Madison Square Garden erupted, and the Knicks left the court with a 104-101 victory over the 76ers.
In the nightcap, the Nuggets trailed the Lakers for most of the night as LeBron James was magnificent on both ends of the court. LeBron's efforts weren't enough, though, as the Nuggets clawed their way back from a 20-point second-half deficit and won the game 101-99 on a buzzer-beater from Jamal Murray.
Tuesday brings three more contests, with Game 2s coming up for the Suns-Timberwolves, Pacers-Bucks and Mavs-Clippers.
Here's everything you need to know to watch or stream the NBA playoffs.
How to watch the NBA playoffs
The NBA playoffs are being shown across four channels: ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. You can watch the games with a cable subscription or a live TV streaming service.
Three of the five major services offer all four channels. Hulu with Live TV lacks NBA TV, which will show only a handful of playoff games. Fubo lacks TNT, which shows a big portion of the NBA playoffs, making Fubo a poor choice for hoops fans. You can also watch TNT broadcasts of playoff games with Max.
