More NBA First Round Upsets

After the respective Eastern and Western Conference favorites, the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. won their opening games, the night games produced two fairly big upsets in NBA first round opening games yesterday. 

First, the Washington Wizards, nearly five point underdogs, went into Chicago and upset the Bulls in game one.

In the next game, the six point underdog Portland Trail Blazers won by two points in Houston vs the Rockets.

The road team/underdog won 5 of 8 first round opening games. Surely that is a record since this format began in 1984.
