NBA Playoffs: 2nd round schedule, TV information and more (Updated June 5, 2021)

Published:
The NBA playoffs are well underway with the second round of matchups poised to begin on Saturday, June 6, 2021. Seven of the eight first-round series are complete with the winners advancing to the second round. The only remaining first round series is LA Clippers vs. Dallas Mavericks with a series tied at 3-3. Game 7 of that series will be on Sunday.
Perhaps the most surprising result is that the last year’s champion, the LA Lakers are out after losing to Phoenix 4-2 in the first round. Injuries have plagued the Lakers season and this continued with Anthony Davis not being 100% to battle the Suns. Meanwhile, led by the steady hand of veteran Chris Paul, Devin Booker took a leap into super stardom with incredible performances throughout the series. Add in solid play by guys like Deandre Ayton and the Suns all of a sudden look like a team poised to go deep in the western conference playoffs.
