The NBA Championship approaches, with playoff brackets including highly skilled teams. The debate between who will win each bracket is discussed with big teams within the league. Popular games within the playoffs are Warriors vs Rockets and Lakers vs. Timberwolves.
The Los Angeles Lakers are highly anticipated due to Luka Doncic being traded to the Lakers from the Mavericks. These playoff games are also heavily talked about because of Anthony Edwards leading his team to victory throughout the season. Edwards’ confidence is at an all-time high, believing the Minnesota Timberwolves are not “panicked” at all and are ready for challenges ahead. Playoff game 1, Timberwolves left with a victory for game 1. A big takeaway from this game is Edwards steals from LeBron James and dunks it. The dunk went viral, but in game 2, Los Angeles Lakers brought the energy, with Luka Doncic scoring over 30 points, and LeBron scoring over 20.
Golden State Warriors are paired against Houston Rockets within the playoff brackets. Game 1 was a success for the Warriors, leading to a victory. Many took to social media with posts saying Jimmy Butler is bringing his old playoff energy. Game 2 was an unfortunate loss for the Warriors with Rockets leading the game. Later within the game, Jimmy Butler suffered a pelvic injury after a fall on a bad play. It is unclear if he will play going forward, but he was unable to finish in game 2.
These are just 4 teams of the many who are highly anticipated. Lakers vs. Timberwolves play again in Minnesota, on Friday, April 24. Warriors vs. Rockets play Monday, April 28.
