This video brings an exciting and twisty narrative about the current NBA scenario, mainly around the Golden State Warriors, Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry, and the big questions of the 2025 playoffs. Here is a summary with the main highlights and expectations:

Will Golden State spoil Houston's run? 👀 + What's considered success for the Lakers? 🤔 | NBA Today - YouTube

🏀 Warriors vs Grizzlies – Insane Play-In!
Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry showed why they are considered absolute stars.

Butler shone in the first three quarters, while Curry took the lead in the last, securing the victory and the seventh seed for the Warriors.

Curry made magic in the end, reminding why he is called clutch even on difficult nights.

🤕 Injuries and resistance: Morant returns despite sprained ankle
Ja Morant suffered a bad sprained ankle, but came back heroically to tie the game in the 4th quarter. 💪

🔥 Next challenge: Rockets in sight
The Warriors will face the Houston Rockets, a young and explosive team.

The Rockets’ physical defense against Curry (with Dillon Brooks and co.) promises to be brutal — reminiscent of the last game in which Steph was held to just 3 points.

🧠 Strategy: Butler carries early, Curry finishes
Recent formula: Jimmy dominates the first 3 quarters, giving Steph the breathing room to decide at the end.

This will be crucial against a team like the Rockets that plays with intensity throughout the 48 minutes.

❓ And Kumingaaa?

Jonathan Kuminga, one of the most athletic talents on the roster, didn’t even play in the two Play-In games.

Kerr seems to prioritize a shorter and more experienced rotation. However, Kuminga already had a 33-point game against Houston this year — will he reappear for matchup reasons?

💬 Wild West: 7 teams with a real shot at the title?
OKC, Houston, Lakers, Clippers, Denver, Minnesota and the Warriors themselves… all believe they can make it to the Finals.

The West is more unpredictable than ever – the real battle will be to survive the mid-table savagery.

🌟 Expectations for the Lakers and Luka Dončić
The Lakers, now with Luka, LeBron and Austin Reaves, need to show that they can coexist well.

The lack of a dominant center could be a problem in series against OKC, Denver or Houston, who have strong frontcourt duos.

The Conference Finals would be a realistic success – but with LeBron, you never know.
