The NBA playoffs opened on Saturday (April 13) with Game 1s taking place in four different series. Three of those series saw the underdog teams pull off an opening-game upset. The Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets, and San Antonio Spurs won in surprising fashion. Golden State continued their quest for another title too. Below is a look at the five biggest stars from Saturday's action.
