Four Games, Three Upsets

It's certainly looking like the the NBA Playoffs will be exciting and unpredictable, as we saw three clear upsets right at the very first day.

The second seeded Toronto Raptors led by two points with less than a minute left but still succumbed to the surprising Orlando Magic, 104-101. Kawhi Leonard and Pascal Siakam had their usual effective games but got nothing from All-Star Kyle Lowry (0-7). The Magic's big guns (Vucevic, Gordon) had okay games but came out on top because of the unheralded DJ Augustine, who topscored with 25 points on an efficient 9-13 clip.
