The Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers made the biggest playoff impacts on Sunday. Houston went into the Bay Area and ended the Golden State Warriors' winning streak, the Lakers upset the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana knocked off the Denver Nuggets on the road.

One team looking to make it back into the playoffs for a third straight season is the Los Angeles Lakers. Thanks to the play of LeBron James and the Lakers landing Luka Doncic in a blockbuster trade earlier this season, Los Angeles is on-track to do just that.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have clinched the first seed. Not surprising considering they've held a double-digit game lead in the standings for most of the season. But let's look at the rest of the West playoff picture.

The Golden State Warriors enter Sunday's matchup against the Houston Rockets on a six-game winning streak, climbing up the Western Conference standings as the 2024-25 NBA regular season moves into its final week.

Alperen Sengun had 19 points and 14 rebounds, Dillon Brooks scored 24 points and the Houston Rockets snapped the Golden State Warriors’ five-game winning streak with a 106-96 win in a matchup of Western Conference powers.

Dillon Brooks went for a game-high 24 points, Amen Thompson spearheaded a suffocating defense on Stephen Curry and the Houston Rockets took a step toward clinching the No.
