Playoff Roundups

Anthony Edwards walked to the Spurs bench to offer congratulations after Minnesota's season-ending loss, acknowledging "they were the better team" in a gesture that ended the Timberwolves' third straight playoff exit. Meanwhile, Thunder star Jalen Williams declared himself healthy for the Western Conference finals after missing six games with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, providing a significant boost to Oklahoma City's championship hopes. The timing of the series carries extra weight as the NBA will announce this season's MVP on Sunday night — the day before Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama meet in Game, with both players among the finalists.

Coaching Carousel

In his first media availability since committing to a 13th season with Golden State, Steve Kerr was self-critical of his performance in Year, stating he "needs to be better" as the Warriors face an offseason of significant roster decisions. Those decisions could include major shakeups league-wide, as executives weigh the futures of LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard — three superstars whose situations could reshape multiple contenders this summer.

Milestones

James Harden moved past Stephen Curry into 10th place on the NBA's all-time playoff scoring list with a step-back 3-pointer in the first quarter of Cleveland's Game 6 against Indiana, reaching 3,077 career postseason points.
