- Philadelphia drew first blood over the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semis while Denver plodded to a 2-0 series advantage against the Suns.
- Phoenix's woes in this series are perfectly illustrated by facts like Matt's pick Josh Okogie playing 21 minutes and registering just 3 PRA.
- The Time Lord Robert Williams III made all of his shots against the 76ers. But regrettably for Lou, it was only three shots and he finished on 13 PRA in the Game 1 loss.
- Filling in nobly for Joel Embiid was Al and Trevor's pick Paul Reed. Making his overall Pick One debut, Reed double-doubled for 25 PRA in victory.
- Coming in at the silver medal level for the evening was Colin's selection Tobias Harris. He did one better than Reed in the Challenge with 26 PRA.
- But taking home the night's top score was the Last Man In, James Harden. Ryan got 52 PRA from the Sixers guard to pull himself within 34 PRA of escaping the financial relegation zone.
- Optimally, Al was the only eligible selector of reigning MVP Nikola Jokic who had 60 PRA in Denver's Game 2 triumph.
