Preview Roundups
April 22, 2014
Atlanta at Indiana 7:00 PM ET
The Indiana Pacers seemed convinced prior to the start of the playoffs that they would be able to flip the switch and get back to dominating teams after a lackluster finish to the regular season. The eighth-seeded Atlanta Hawks, who visit the Pacers for Game 2 on Tuesday, made sure that it would not be quite that easy with a Game 1 win. The Hawks spread No. 1 seed Indiana out with 3-point shooters and point guard Jeff Teague dominated in an easy win.
Brooklyn at Toronto 7:30 PM ET
The Brooklyn Nets look to grab a commanding lead of their best-of-seven series with the Toronto Raptors when the teams meet Tuesday in Toronto. Brooklyn rode a solid closing stretch to a 94-87 win in the series opener on Saturday to win its playoff opener for the second straight season and improve to 6-2 all-time against the Raptors in the postseason. Joe Johnson and Deron Williams scored 24 points apiece and Paul Pierce had nine of his 15 points in the closing moments.
Washington at Chicago 9:30 PM ET
The Chicago Bulls were supposed to have the advantage on the inside while the Washington Wizards used their speed to control the perimeter. It turned out that the opposite was true in Game 1, and the fifth-seeded Wizards will try to ride the combination on Nene and Marcin Gortat to a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series when they visit the fourth-seeded Bulls on Tuesday. Nene and Gortat combined for 39 points and 21 rebounds in Game 1.
