NBA Playoffs 2019: Bracket, matchups, series schedules, results, scores, path to Finals for all 16 postseason teams

Fallback Image

The opening weekend of the NBA playoffs has been nothing short of exciting.

We witnessed multiple Game 1 upsets — the No. 6 Brooklyn Nets knocking off the No. 3 Philadelphia 76ers 111-102, and the seventh-seeded Orlando Magic stunning the No. 2 Toronto Raptors 104-101, thanks to a go-ahead 3 with a second left in regulation. Meanwhile, the 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.

Monday night, however, offered the postseason’s biggest surprise to date as the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers overcame a 31-point deficit to knock off the top-ranked Golden State Warriors 135-131 with a historical win. 

Philadelphia made sure they wouldn’t fall into a 2-0 series hole on Monday, as they decimated Brooklyn 145-123 win that included an NBA record-tying 51-point quarter. 

Here is a look at the bracket, and each team’s path to the Larry O’Brien trophy.
