NBA Playoff Action & Awards

The Eastern Conference playoff slate kicked off Tuesday night as the Celtics hosted the 76ers in a pivotal Game 2 matchup, where Jaylen Brown attacked the basket with immediate force, notably putting center Adem Bona on a poster early in the contest. Meanwhile, postseason accolades were distributed, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continuing to bolster his MVP-caliber résumé by capturing the Clutch Player of the Year award. In other conference action, Jalen Duren vowed increased aggression for his team's next outing following a surprisingly quiet Game 1 where the Magic's defense limited the first-time All-Star to a mere four shot attempts.
