The field for the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs is almost complete. Ten teams remain in the playoff bracket, and six teams -- the Thunder, Cavaliers, Pacers, Celtics, Timberwolves and Knicks -- have already moved on to the second round.

Houston has been tremendous ever since, though. In Game 5, the Rockets won 131-116 after three players scored 24 or more points in VanVleet (26), Amen Thompson (25) and Dillon Brooks (24). In fact, the Rockets took a 27-point lead into the fourth quarter, leading to head coach Steve Kerr clearing the bench early.

The play-in — the NBA’s version of the Wild Card round — concluded on April 18, with two games: Miami defeating Atlanta and Memphis knocking off Dallas. The playoffs start on Saturday, April 19, with four games, and will run through mid-June.
