NBA Playoffs 2023: Round 1 results as Warriors play kings and Cavaliers take on Knicks
Let's take a look at what went down during the game 1 of NBA Playoffs 2023. A total of 4 matches were played and here are the results of all of them.
After the culmination of the regular season and the play-in tournament, it is time for the NBA Playoffs to begin. On day 1, round 1, a total of 4 matches were played. Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers started the Playoffs string, and the day concluded with Warriors vs Kings.
Courtesy of James Harden and Joel Embiid, the 76ers got the perfect start to the Playoffs journey, as they defeated Brooklyn Nets by an overbearing margin. The second hoop of the day took place between Boston Celtics and Atalanta Hawks, where Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum, and Derrick White, were decisive in clutch situations. In the third match of the day, New York Knicks edged past Cleveland Cavaliers in a close encounter. The final match of the day was between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors, where the Kings got the better of the Warriors by a rarest margin. The high-scoring match went down to the wire. Steph Curry contributed 30 points for his side but the Warriors fell short by a speck.
It was LOUD during Golden 1 Center's first-ever postseason game!
