After a thrilling conclusion to the 2017-18 NBA regular season on Wednesday, NBA fans have been anxiously awaiting the start of the NBA playoffs.
The good news is the playoffs get underway Saturday afternoon, starting with the defending champion Golden State Warriors hosting the San Antonio Spurs at 3pm ET. The bad news is, we still have one more basketball-less night to get through before the first round officially tips off.
In an effort to ease the withdrawals, the NBA has compiled a 15-minute+ highlight reel showcasing the 50 best plays of the regular season, including several game-winning buzzer beaters, a plethora of posterizing dunks and an assortment of ankle breakers. James Harden's emasculating step-back crossover against Wesley Johnson, LeBron James' powerful slam on Ersan Ilyasova and DeMar DeRozan's game-winning dunk against the Detroit Pistons are all featured, plus much, much more.
Kill some time before the NBA Playoffs kick off with the Top 50 plays of the 2017-18 season, and check out the full TV schedule for the first round right here.
