Avalanche face Game 2 without Cale Makar in West Final

Cale Makar will miss Game 2 of the Western Conference Final for the Colorado Avalanche with an upper-body injury, marking his second straight absence after Game 1. Jack Ahcan started in his place and Nick Blankenburg was a healthy scratch, with coach Jared Bednar declining further lineup decisions. Makar, a Norris Trophy finalist who had 79 points this season, remains a key factor as Vegas sticks to its game plan and Colorado looks to rebound after a 4-2 loss to try to even the series.

Cavs Collapse in NYC: Knicks Rally to Take Game 2

The Cavaliers built a strong three-quarter effort at Madison Square Garden led by Donovan Mitchell, who poured in 29 points and racked up 6 steals, and Evan Mobley anchored the defense. But a brutal fourth quarter chaos left the Cavs unable to move the ball, allowing the Knicks to surge back and steal Game 2. Mitchell’s hot stretch faded as New York seized control, Harden struggled defensively and with turnovers, and the late collapse overshadowed earlier positives from several Cavs players.

Cade Cunningham fuels Pistons past Cavaliers, takes 2-0 series lead in Game 2

Detroit defeated Cleveland 107-97 in Game 2 to take a 2-0 series lead.

Timberwolves Rally From 19-Point Deficit to Stun Nuggets in Game 2

The Timberwolves erased a 19-point hole after a rough first quarter (Denver’s 17-0 run helped build the lead) to edge the Nuggets 119-114 in Game 2 and knot the series at 1-1 as the series moves to Minneapolis. Anthony Edwards poured in 30 points with 10 rebounds, Minnesota used an 11-0 second-quarter run to surge back, and Donte DiVincenzo fueled the comeback with four three-pointers, including the go-ahead shot with 1:04 remaining while Rudy Gobert anchored late defense to seal the win.

McCollum fuels Hawks’ Game 2 comeback to sting Knicks in MSG

CJ McCollum scored 32 to spark a late Hawks rally as Atlanta erased a 14-point deficit and edged the Knicks 107-106 in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden, tying the series 1-1. McCollum drew attention with late drives and a free-throw chance in the final seconds, but missed both freebies; Bridges’ late fadeaway missed and the Hawks sealed it on a fastbreak dunk. The result shifts momentum to Atlanta heading into Game 3, while Brunson led New York with 29 points in a hard-fought loss.

Wembanyama’s playoff encore eyed as Spurs host Game 2

After Victor Wembanyama’s record-setting 35-point playoff debut in Game 1, San Antonio looks to build on the win by evaluating how he follows up in Game 2, while Portland must boost its offense against a tough Spurs defense and Jrue Holiday/Shaedon Sharpe need more efficient shooting — all as Spurs coach Mitch Johnson faces playoff decision-making in the West First Round.

Knicks’ Game 2 collapse blamed on a trio, not Bridges

A New York Post column argues the Knicks’ 107-106 loss to the Hawks in Game 2 was caused by three players rather than Mikal Bridges, who missed a late game-winner after a largely passive offensive role. The piece notes Bridges’ missed shot sealed the defeat and frames the collapse as a broader breakdown by others, echoing a similar late-game misstep from last year’s Detroit series.

Wolves Seek Game 2 Upset in Denver as Referees and TV Crew Take Center Stage

Wolves Seek Game 2 Upset in Denver as Referees and TV Crew Take Center Stage

Timberwolves look to even their first‑round series in Game 2 at Denver (9:30 p.m. CT on NBC/Peacock) with Michael Grady call­ing play-by-play alongside Austin Rivers and Brian Scalabrine. Game 2 officiating will be led by Tony Brothers, with Ervin and Petraitis; Anthony Edwards is listed questionable with a right knee issue, Naz Reid is limited, and Nuggets wing Peyton Watson is out. Minnesota must force a stronger two-way effort, especially on Jokic, tighten perimeter defense and ball security, and get more efficient shooting from their top scorers while managing bench rotations (Conley logged 11 minutes; Bones Hyland played sparingly). Denver’s offense struggled in Game 1 (Murray 0-for-8 from three; Nuggets 1-for-17 from deep in the second half), so the Wolves will need urgency to capitalize on any missteps and avoid falling into a 0‑2 hole.
