April 19











The only big news that happened on this day was the second day of the NBA playoffs. The four games that were play were the Western Conference matchups between the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers, and the New Orleans Hornets and Denver Nuggets. The Eastern Conference matchups were the Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic, and the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks. This day wasn't like the first day, where three road teams were victorious. The only road team to win on this day was the 76ers.








The 76ers beat the Magic, despite being down 18 in the third quarter. The 76ers beat the Magic 100-98, on a game winning jump shot by Andre Iguodala with 2.2 seconds remaining. The Lakers, Hawks, and Nuggets were able to dominate their Game 1 matchups, with each team winning by double digits. Game 2 for the 76ers and Magic, Heat and Hawks, and Hornets and Nuggets is Wednesday night, while the Jazz play the Lakers in Game 2 on Tuesday night.
