NBA playoffs 2022: Complete second-round matchups, schedules and news

The NBA postseason is here, and it's shaping up to be a wide-open chase to the 2022 title.

The Phoenix Suns ran away with the league's best regular-season record -- eight games clear of the second-best Memphis Grizzlies. Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the reigning Western Conference champs are on a mission to redeem themselves after last season's six-game Finals defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks, and survived an injury to Booker to knock out the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round.

Plenty of West contenders still stand in the Suns' way, including Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors, who are back in the playoffs for the first time since reaching the Finals in 2019.
