Bulls, Hawks Tip Off Wednesday In Win-Or-Go-Home Playoff Showdown
Celtics, Heat Series Dates, Times Set
No. 1 Seed Celtics Open Playoffs Sunday
The Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks will face off Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. EST on ESPN in a win-or-go-home playoff matchup. The loser of the game will be eliminated from the playoffs, while the winner will advance to face the loser of the Miami Heat-Philadelphia 76ers game. The winner of that game will then face the winner of the Celtics-Heat series.
The NBA has released dates and times for all first-round series, including the No. 1 seed Boston Celtics' matchup with the No. 8 seed Brooklyn Nets. That series is set to begin Sunday, April 21.
The Celtics have won only one of the last three playoff showdowns with the Heat and lost Game 1 in each of those series. Boston will look to end that skid Sunday afternoon when the series tips off.
