The conference finals are in full swing in the 2022 NBA playoffs. The Boston Celtics blew out the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night to even the series. Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors own a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference finals after blowing out the Dallas Mavericks in Wednesday night’s Game 1. The Mavs will try to even the series on Friday night.
The 2022 NBA Finals will not have either of the participants from last year. The defending champion Milwaukee Bucks were ousted by the Celtics in Game 7. Hours later, the Mavs crushed the Suns in Phoenix to eliminate the reining Western Conference champions. The Warriors and Heat, meanwhile, took care of their second-round competition (the Grizzlies and 76ers, respectively) in six games.
