The final night of the postseason was marked by some dramatic upsets. While some favorites faltered, others asserted their dominance with authority.

Minnesota pulls off a stunning upset in Denver

The Timberwolves pulled off a remarkable upset in Colorado. Trailing by 19 points, the Wolves rallied to win 119-114 .

1. The heroes: Anthony Edwards (30 points) and a dominant Julius Randle (24 points) carried the team.
2. Nuggets side: Despite Nikola Jokic's triple-double and Jamal Murray's 30 points, Denver cracked under pressure.
3. Series status: Tied 1-1 . The series now moves to Minneapolis for Games 3 and 4.

Atlanta air-conditions Madison Square Garden

A major upset in the East where the Hawks dampened the New York spirit. After trailing by 14 points in the third quarter, Atlanta snatched a narrow 107-106 victory.

1. The turning point: A hot streak from CJ McCollum (32 points), who scored a decisive 11-0 run in the final moments.
2. The conclusion: Too nervous at the end of the game, the Knicks and a heroic Jalen Brunson saw Atlanta come back to 1-1 in the series.

Cleveland shows no mercy

Unlike other series, there was no suspense in Ohio. The Cavaliers predictably dominated Toronto 115-105 , confirming their decisive opening victory.

1. The dynamic duo: The partnership between Donovan Mitchell (30 pts) and winter recruit James Harden (28 pts) is shaping up to be the bogey team of the Eastern Conference.
2. Next up: With this break in hand ( 2-0 ), the Cavs travel to Toronto this Thursday with the objective of wrapping things up against a desperate Raptors team.
