Here at The Action Network, we are on a mission to determine the best 1-on-1 player in the NBA. To do this, we released a 64-player bracket for this tournament, and a couple weeks ago we started simulating the first and second rounds. You can re-watch all of those games here.
Those first two rounds are now over, and we'll be moving onto the Sweet 16 starting tonight. And, man, are the matchups juicy: Kawhi vs. Dame, Giannis vs. Towns and Harden vs. Curry, to name a few.
We also have some Cinderellas who are still alive in Gordon Hayward, Kristaps Porzingis and Nikola Jokic.
