The first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs has been full of excitement and surprises. In the Eastern Conference, the top-seeded teams are close to advancing, but the Detroit Pistons face challenges. The Western Conference has seen intense battles, like the Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers' neck-and-neck series. The Golden State Warriors await the return of Jimmy Butler III. Teams need to make crucial adjustments to succeed.
