NBA Matchups Grow Intense as Playoffs Loom Near

The NBA playoffs are getting closer with every game growing in intensity and importance.

The Golden State Warriors were shockingly upset by the Orlando Magic, 94-90. The Warriors continue to push for a top seed in the playoffs, but an ailing Orlando team stunned everyone last night.

The Atlanta Hawks continue their impressive run with a 117-111 victory over the New York Knicks. Point guard Trae Young demolished the Knicks, as he scored 45 points for the Hawks and dished out 8 assists.

The Milwaukee Bucks blew out the Chicago Bulls in an anticipated matchup with a 126-98 win. The Bills and the Bucks are two of the best teams in the East, and a playoff rematch is highly likely.

The Denver Nuggets continue their hot streak with a 127-115 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Center Nikola Jokic was the star of the evening, scoring 30 points and securing 14 rebounds for the Nuggets.
