This postseason has been a rollercoaster of emotions with tightly contested battles night after night. Just looking back at some of the recent games, like the New York Knicks' narrow victory over the Boston Celtics on May 5 and the Denver Nuggets' nail-biting win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, it’s clear this year is as competitive and unpredictable as ever.

Let’s not forget the regular season wrap-up. The Knicks barely edged out the Pistons, 116-113, and the Nuggets outlasting the Clippers 111-105. Each team is giving it their all, laying everything on the line to advance one step closer to NBA glory.
