Memphis nearly made it already earlier in the week, rallying from a 20-point deficit against Golden State Warriors—only to fall 116–121, thanks to brilliance from Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III.

🔥 Golden State's Comeback Story

Golden State had a rough regular season, sitting 10th in the West in February. But everything changed when they traded for Jimmy Butler III from Miami. Suddenly, they transformed from one of the league’s worst defensive teams to the absolute best. And Curry? He looks completely revitalized.

🎯 Enter “Playoff Jimmy”

“Playoff Jimmy” is a legend. Known for taking his postseason game to new levels, he dropped 37 points against the Grizzlies, including 18 free throw attempts. At 35, he’s now on the best team of his career alongside all-time great Stephen Curry.

With Draymond Green anchoring the defense and elite role players like Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, and Buddy Hield in the mix, head coach Steve Kerr has a stacked rotation aiming for ring number five in 11 years.

⚡ OKC Thunder: Shock the League?

The biggest threat to everyone? The Oklahoma City Thunder. They went 68–14 in the regular season—the best record in franchise history. MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads a fiery group featuring Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and Luguentz Dort.

They’ll face the winner of Mavericks vs. Grizzlies in the first round. Meanwhile, Golden State is a sleeper pick with high value. But don’t count out the Los Angeles Lakers either—LeBron James and Luka Doncic bring unstoppable star power. And then there’s Denver Nuggets with Nikola Jokic, who can never be ignored.

🏆 Eastern Clash: Celtics vs. Cavs?

In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers (64–18) were dominant most of the year, but the reigning champs Boston Celtics (61–21) closed strong and are still the team to beat. Boston knows what it takes—but being the hunted is harder than doing the hunting.

Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen make Cleveland a powerhouse—but they’ll have to win more series this spring than they’ve managed in the last six years combined.
