After a wild weekend of postseason action, each NBA Playoff team has played at least one game of its first-round series.
The top seeds in the Eastern Conference all maintained home-court advantage, as the Heat, Celtics, Bucks and 76ers captured Game 1 wins. Miami and Philadelphia dominated their opponents, while Milwaukee and Boston managed to escape with hard-fought victories.
Over in the Western Conference, the Suns and Warriors handled their NBA Playoff openers without much drama, but the Grizzlies and Mavericks both dropped Game 1 of their series. They will now look to avoid falling into 2-0 holes against the Timberwolves and Jazz, respectively.
