Then the New York Knicks fought back from a 20-point deficit to win an improbable Game 1 against defending champions Boston Celtics in overtime, and the Denver Nuggets stung the league鈥檚 top seed Oklahoma City Thunder on a buzzer-beating three pointer by Aaron Gordon.

The Golden State Warriors, who had dispatched the Houston Rockets on the road in seven games Sunday, kicked off their second-round date with Minnesota Timberwolves with what looked like an easy win despite not having Stephen Curry in the lineup for the better part of the game.

The NBA road teams have a 24-26 record so far in the playoffs.

Home teams in the NBA won 54 per cent of games in the regular season, the fourth time the home winning percentage has dipped that low in the last five years.
