NBA tipoff: Round 2 continues Friday with Spurs-Timberwolves

For the first time since the playoffs started, there was a day without NBA basketball. No games were scheduled for Thursday. It was the league’s first day with no games in a month. The playoffs will resume Friday with two games. Detroit, trying to keep its season alive, will play in Cleveland. And Minnesota, trying to keep its season alive, will play host to San Antonio. The Cavaliers and Spurs hold 3-2 leads in those series. If Game 7s are needed, they would be Sunday in Detroit and San Antonio.
