The Rockets fell to the Lakers in game three of the first round due to some late game blunders that had Logan Murdock, Raja Bell and Howard Beck puzzled.

The Celtics defeated the Sixers in a close one in Philly to take the series lead 2-1. Is Jayson Tatum fully back? Has Rudy Gobert gotten the better end of his matchup against Nikola Jokic?
