After a few tougher-than-expected battles in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, the second round went quicker and according to (most people’s) plan. This leaves us with a conference finals round that should prove a lot more interesting.
The West features the matchup most saw coming just a few weeks into the season: Golden State vs Houston. According to ESPN, going by efficiency, this is the best offensive matchup in modern NBA history. Since team turnovers became official in 1973-74, there has never been a playoff series between squads that both averaged at least 112 points per 100 possessions.
