I don't know that any individual thing surprised me. Maybe how well the Bucks played without Giannis and the Clippers played without Kawhi but was just surprised overall by the fact that not one road team won.

I think Ernie said on Inside the NBA that it was the first time since 2013 that every home team won round 1 game 1 of the NBA playoffs.

It's odd that out of 14 games not one road team won. I wouldn't have expected a lot of road teams to win, they are on the road for a reason but you would think between the two sports a couple would have. Although NHL still has two first round game ones to go so maybe it won't be a clean sweep just a weekend sweep.

Like you said, it would be interesting if this was a clean sweep for the home teams for both NBA and NHL. For today's 2 hockey games, I think the Oilers will be able to defend home ice, but the Golden Knights might have a chance of taking a road win from the Stars. We shall see.
