Hey Team 👋
While two series have already wrapped up in the West, with the Thunder and Spurs advancing, the East has become an absolute minefield. From the top-seeded Pistons fighting for survival against a relentless Magic squad to the heavy-hitting Celtics and Sixers trading blows, the East has already proven to be unpredictable. With three Game 6s on deck for tonight and three more on Friday, we are officially entering the "win or go home" era of the postseason. Buckle up, because the drama is only getting started.

It may not have been a sweep, but the Spurs took care of business quickly versus the Trail Blazers, knocking them out of the playoffs with a 19-point victory on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Cleveland reclaimed the series lead at home and the Rockets forced Game 6. And the Pistons avoided elimination, topping the Magic 116–109 and sending the series back to Orlando for a pivotal Friday night showdown.
