Oklahoma City Thunder staged a remarkable comeback, overcoming a 29-point deficit to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies, but the narrative was overshadowed by John Morant's hip injury. That injury cripples the Grizzlies' chances in the ongoing playoff series. Morant, a key player, left the game and without him, Memphis fell apart, highlighted by turnovers from Desmond Bane and Scotty Pippen Jr.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks fought hard against the Detroit Pistons for a 118-116 victory, led by strong performances from Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. The Knicks showed resilience, and their ability to adapt in the game is crucial for their playoff aspirations. The narratives were filled with tension as playoff stakes rose, with each game presenting new challenges and opportunities.
