Four more games today as the first round of the NBA Playoffs rolls into day two. Kevin Durant supplied the thrills last night with his game-winner as the Thunder took down the Mavericks in game 1, but the day was marred by season-ending injuries to Bulls' Derrick Rose and Knicks' Iman Shumpert. With Rose out, it appears the Heat won't face much serious resistance in returning to the NBA Finals.
