2023 NBA Playoffs Day 16 Open Thread

Day 16 of the NBA Playoffs is one you won’t want to miss, with two tantalizing matchups tipping off at different stages in their series: One just beginning, the other reaching its anticipated conclusion.

First, Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat try to keep their Cinderella run alive with a fresh series against Josh Hart and the New York Knicks.
