The first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs is almost complete, with one series left to wrap up.

This year's playoffs saw a number of surprises in the first round, none bigger than the 8-seed Miami Heat -- who emerged from the NBA's play-in tournament -- knocking off the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, who led the NBA with 58 wins in the regular season. In the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers became the second play-in team to advance when they defeated the 2-seed Memphis Grizzlies with a resounding 40-point victory in Game 6.

The Golden State Warriors entered the playoffs as the defending champions, but are facing a Game 7 on the road against the Sacramento Kings.
