The Wolves, like the Pacers, have reached the conference finals for the second year in a row. They closed out their series by winning four straight games against the Warriors, who lost Stephen Curry to a hamstring strain in Game 1. Indiana will host Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on May 21.

Sixteen teams in total make the NBA playoffs, eight teams from both the Eastern and Western Conference. The top six seeds in each conference advance based on the regular season record. The final two seeds in each conference are determined by the NBA Play-In Tournament.

The Celtics were clicking on all cylinders, with Derrick White leading the way. The role player, who has become much more than just that in recent years, finished with 34 points, shooting 7-of-13 from deep in the win.
