Are the Rockets and Lakers both heading for a Round 1 collapse while LeBron James and Luka Dončić try to stay alive and Jimmy Butler leads the Warriors? In this clip, the guys break down Houston's 3-1 deficit to Golden State, with Jimmy and Steph taking control and Travis officially throwing in the towel on his Rockets bet. Can Houston extend the series, or are they finished? Then it's the Lakers' turn, down 3-1 to the Timberwolves behind the breakout dominance of Anthony Edwards. Can LeBron, Luka, and the Lakers respond, or is Minnesota ready to close the door?
