The Brooklyn Nets' guard play proved to be too much in Game 1 of their first-round matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, who hope to avoid falling into a 2-0 series hole when the teams meet Monday night. Guards D'Angelo Russell, Caris LeVert and Spencer Dinwiddie combined for 67 points to lead the sixth-seeded Nets to a 111-102 victory in the best-of-seven series opener Saturday, seizing homecourt advantage away from the No. 3 seed.

The Golden State Warriors breezed to a win in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, but things got a little feisty along the way. The Warriors will try to keep their emotions in check and take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series when they host the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in Game 2 on Monday.
