The 2021 playoffs are on and with the Los Angeles Lakers eliminated in the first round, we are guaranteed to have a new NBA champion. The second round is a heavyweight fight between the Milwaukee Bucks, who are looking for their first title since 1971, and the Brooklyn Nets, who haven't won a championship since being in the ABA. In the other Eastern Conference semifinals, the upstart Atlanta Hawks take on the Philadelphia 76ers, who took the injured Joel Embiid back for Game 1.
Off the West, the top-seeded Utah Jazz will face Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers, while the Phoenix Suns - who defeated the defending champions in the first round - will face the Denver Nuggets and their MVP Nikola Jokic.
Keep it here for all the matchups, schedule, news and analysis from Round 2 through the crowning of the NBA champions.
