The second round is set in the 2025 NBA playoff bracket. The West has a familiar look as the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves are all in the second round for the second year in a row.

Golden State initially held a 3-1 lead but has since lost two straight to Houston, shifting momentum to the home side. It's the second Game 7 between the two squads: They also faced off in a Game 7 in the 2018 Western Conference finals. The Rockets lost that matchup after famously missing 27 straight 3-pointers.
