NBA Playoffs Second Round: Full Schedule for Four Series

Here is the schedule for the 2022 semifinal round series starting Sunday.

The first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs came to an end Friday night when the Grizzles erased a 13-point deficit against the Timberwolves, outscoring Minnesota 40–22 in the fourth quarter, to punch their ticket to the semifinals round. For Memphis, it marks the first time in seven years that it has advanced in the playoffs.

Memphis will now prepare to face Golden State on Sunday. The Celtics, who swept the Nets, will turn their attention to the reigning NBA champion Bucks on Sunday as well in Game 1 of their semifinal series.

The Suns will open its second round series against the Mavericks on Monday while Miami will seek to take advantage in Game 1 of its series against Philadelphia without Joel Embiid. The star is reportedly out indefinitely with a right orbital fracture and mild concussion that he suffered in Thursday night’s series-clinching Game 6 victory against the Raptors.

Here is the schedule for the 2022 semifinal round series starting Sunday. (All times p.m. Eastern; * – if necessary)
