**Western Conference Update:** Both top contenders—OKC and San Antonio—hail from the West. The Thunder swept the Suns in Round 1, while the Spurs dropped just one game to Portland. OKC now leads L.A. 3-0, and San Antonio is up 2-1 on Minnesota. With Luka Dončić unlikely to return for the Lakers this season, and Victor Wembanyama dominating the Wolves in Game 3, these two teams appear headed for a collision in the Western Conference finals.

**Eastern Conference Update:** The Knicks have emerged as the class of the East, winning six straight playoff games and holding a 3-0 lead over Philly in the second round. Meanwhile, the top-seeded Pistons lead the Cavs 2-1, though Cleveland has yet to lose at home this postseason after taking Game 3. Can the Cavaliers even the series at two games apiece?
