Meanwhile, the Heat lost their first game in the NBA Play-In Tournament before cracking the eighth seed and picking up a series against the top team in the conference, the Milwaukee Bucks.

After finding success against the Cavaliers throughout the regular season, the Knicks continued to take care of business against Cleveland in the postseason. With just five games needed to take care of business, the Knicks defeated the Cavs 4-1.
