Wemby's concussion + Blazers have a chance?

The NBA playoffs intensify as the Lakers secure a win over the Rockets, exposing Houston’s lack of offensive identity and reliance on non-shooters. LeBron James continues to dictate pace, while the Rockets struggle to rotate effectively against the Lakers' zone defense. Meanwhile, the Sixers pull off a significant upset against the Celtics, fueled by a breakout performance from rookie VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey, exploiting Boston's uncharacteristically poor shooting night. In San Antonio, the Spurs face a critical turning point following Victor Wembanyama’s concussion. His absence forces the team to adjust their offensive strategy, as they struggle to generate spacing and scoring without his presence. The Blazers capitalize on this shift, relying on Scoot Henderson’s high-scoring performance and disciplined perimeter defense to take control of the series.
