The playoffs for the 2023 season are underway and we have had a spectacular playoff bracket so far! In the first round, the 8-seeded Miami Heat destroyed the number 1-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in a series win of 4-1. The Los Angeles Lakers are the 7th seed and beat the number 2-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in 6 games (4-2). The Golden State Warriors seeded at #6 were led by none other than Stephen Curry’s electric 50-point game in game 7 over the #3-seeded Sacramento Kings, ending the series 4 games to 3. There was only one sweep, 4-0, and that was the #3 Philadelphia 76ers over the #6 Brooklyn Nets. The 76ers were led by James Harden, the starting point guard, who had to score 35+ points in the last two games in order for them to come up with the win because their MVP Joel Embiid was out with an injury.
