Augustin and the seventh-seeded Orlando Magic stunned the No. 2 Toronto Raptors 104-101, thanks to a go-ahead 3 with a second left in regulation. Meanwhile, the top-ranked Golden State Warriors began their quest for their third straight title and fourth in five seasons with a dominant 121-104 win, while the No. 7 San Antonio Spurs closed out the night by dropping the No. 2 Denver Nuggets.
On Sunday, the No. 1 Milwaukee Bucks and No. 4 Boston Celtics came away with wins in the East, while the No. 3 Portland Trail Blazers and No. 4 Houston Rockets prevailed in the West matchups.
The action continues on Monday with Game 2 between Philadelphia and Brooklyn, followed by Golden State and Los Angeles. Here is a look at the bracket, and each team’s path to the Larry O’Brien trophy.
