The Rockets were tasked with facing the Oklahoma City Thunder in the opening round of this year’s playoffs.

The Rockets won Game 4 to throw themselves back into the mix, but there’s no telling who will walk away with Game 5.

San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs delivered another successful season that saw the franchise go 61-21. With that record, the Spurs were able to finish 1^st in the Southwest Division and 2^nd in the Western Conference.
