The second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs has begun, as eight teams look to take another step closer to a title. All four rounds of the NBA playoffs are best-of-seven, and teams are not reseeded after each round.

The Pacers won Games 1, 2 and 5 at Rocket Mortgage Arena to help secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. Indiana needed to battle back from a 12-point first-quarter deficit. Tyrese Haliburton's three-point shooting played a huge role in clawing back into the game.
