Monday night, the Lakers beat a Rockets team on the second night of a back-to-back 104-98. While we don't want to read too much into one game, this one shed some light on these teams heading into the playoffs because of its intensity.

Playing without Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. on Tuesday night, Nikola Jokić did all he could for the Denver Nuggets in their 140-139 double-overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jokić recorded a triple-double with a career-high 61 points in the loss, prompting his head coach to call him "Superman" after the game.
