The Phoenix Suns have managed to equalise the series against the Los Angeles Clippers while the Cavaliers did the same against the New York Knicks.
The Boston Celtics, however, continued their winning run as they notched up a 2-0 lead in the seven-game Round 1 series against the Atlanta Hawks. Here below are details of each game:
The Celtics started red hot as they took a 61-49 lead by the half time which the Hawks could never erase as they lost Game 2 106-119. The third and fourth quarters were somewhat of a close contest between the two teams, but the early lead taken by the Celtics proved to be decisive.
For the Celtics, Jayson Tatum scored 29 points while Derrick White managed to drop 26 points. For the Hawks, Dejounte Murray scored 29 points while Ice Trae Young managed 24 but all in a loss.
The Hawks, however, have five more chances left in the series to not only erase the 0-2 deficit but win it as well.
