Jalen Brunson led the way, scoring 35 on 12-for-18 shooting, and as a team, the Knicks shot 63% from the field and 51% from 3. That'll get it done in the playoffs. Can N.Y. keep up its hot shooting in Game 2?
WEST SECOND ROUND
No. 4 LOS ANGELES (+1200) vs. No. 1 OKLAHOMA CITY (-3000)
OKC leads 1-0
GAME 2 — LAL @ OKC (May 7)
Spread: Thunder -15.5
Moneyline: Thunder -1000, Lakers +650

What to know: If Game 1 was any indication, it appears that without Luka Dončić, the Lakers just don't have the firepower to compete with the Thunder. OKC outscored L.A. in every quarter and held the Lakers to 37 points in the second half. L.A. scored a playoff-low 90 points, shooting just 41% from the field and 33% from 3. On top of that, SGA only scored 18 for the Thunder and was just 2-for-3 from the free-throw line. And, Jalen Williams didn't even play.
No. 6 MINNESOTA (+165) vs. No. 3 SAN ANTONIO (-195)
MIN leads 1-0
GAME 2 — MIN @ SAS (May 6)
Spread: Spurs -9.5
Moneyline: Spurs -425, Wolves +330
O/U: 215.5
What to know: These Timberwolves are a force to be reckoned with. They went into San Antonio and won a Game 1 nail-biter, after Anthony Edwards returned from a recent knee injury way earlier than expected. He scored 18 points in 25 minutes off the bench. As for San Antonio, its star, Victor Wembanyama, managed a triple-double, but it wasn't a pretty one. He had 15 rebounds and an astounding 12 blocks, but he coupled it with just 11 points on 5-for-17 shooting, including 0-for-8 from 3. The Wolves are rough and tough and can defend with the best of 'em, having held their opponents to 102 points or fewer in four of their seven playoff games this season.
