The NBA playoffs have treated us to terrific action, including one exciting second round.
The Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors advanced from the West semifinals and will now square off in the conference finals. The series will feature two of the best backcourt tandems in the league in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson going against Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. Game 1 of the WCF is set for Tuesday at Oracle.
In the Eastern Conference, Kawhi Leonard helped the Toronto Raptors survive the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7, and will now take on Giannis and the NBA's top-ranked Milwaukee Bucks in the conference finals, which tips off Wednesday in Toronto.
Here is a look at the bracket, and each playoff team's path to the Larry O'Brien trophy.
