The 2024-2025 NBA Playoffs, a story of rivals, huge competition, and the big question, who will win the NBA Championship this year? Each series this year has been hugely competitive with the playoff atmosphere taking place with not only the fans, but the players too.
The Houston Rockets, led by Alperen Şengün and Amen Thompson, against the Golden State Warriors, led by Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. This series is undoubtedly considered one of the best series in the whole playoffs, with the heated intensity of both teams clearly showing on the court. With the series now being 3-2 in the Warriors favor, will the Rockets be able to hold on for 2 games straight and beat the Warriors, or will the Warriors close out the series in one more game?
The New York Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, against the Detroit Pistons, led by Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren. This series is a tough one, with the Knicks up 3-2 against the Pistons, who knows who will win? A game 7 could occur, or the Knicks could end the series with one game.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, led by Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, against the Los Angeles Lakers, led by Lebron James and Luka Dončić. By far the most anticipated series with some of the best players currently in the league. The Timberwolves dominated the Lakers, especially with Anthony Edward’s and Julius Randle’s performance in this series. In game 5, Rudy Gobert dominated the paint with the Lakers not having much rim protection, or a center for that matter. Thus, resulting in the Lakers’ loss and the Timberwolves advancing to face either the Golden State Warriors or the Houston Rockets.
