The 2025 NBA playoffs have moved on to the first round, with high drama already unfolding in Saturday's games.

Following the Play-In Tournament — which saw the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat (Eastern Conference) and the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies (Western Conference) advance to the first round — Saturday saw the beginning of best-of-seven play.

Saturday's slate included the Indiana Pacers running away with Game 1 in its series against the Milwaukee Bucks , while another game was much closer. The Denver Nuggets made home-court advantage stand up, but only after a wild 112-110 overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers .
