April 16th, 2016 by Scott Polacek Leave a reply »

Legends are made in the NBA Finals, but the first round of the playoffs often provides fans with some of the most memorable moments.

Last year featured Stephen Curry drilling a ridiculous, fallaway three-pointer in the final seconds to send the Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Pelicans to overtime in Game 3 of their series and cap off a 20-point comeback in the fourth quarter. The 2014 playoffs saw Damian Lillard connect on a game-winning three at the buzzer to send the Portland Trail Blazers to the second round over the Houston Rockets.

There will likely be plenty of those moments that define the first round this season, especially with loaded squads like the Warriors, San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers lacing it up.
