I think in a round without a clear intentional injury, Miami did have the intent, but I'm willing to hear other peoples opinions while I tally things up, maybe OKC with Rubio?

Bonus questions courtesy of an anonymous man:


What player will have the most total rebounds in the 2nd round
What series will have the highest total points in a single game?
What series will have the lowest total points in a single game?
T/F: A team in the 2nd round will make fewer 3 pointers than James Harden.
