Jackson Gatlin (@Locked On Rockets) is joined by Rylan Stiles (@Locked On Thunder) to discuss the OKC Thunder 94-92 nailbiter win against the New Orleans Pelicans, standout performances from both sides, how Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered in crunch time, big defensive plays from rookies Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace, and how Pelicans lost their chance to steal a game on the road.

Then, Ben Beecken (@Locked On Wolves) breaks down the Minnesota Timberwolves 120-95 blowout win vs the Phoenix Suns, why this game felt different than the regular season series where Phoenix was 3-0, Anthony Edwards and Kevin Durant going at each other, Wolves defense holding Devin Booker to 5/16 shooting, and expected adjustments going into Game 2.

Lastly, Philip Rossman-Reich (@Locked On Magic) jumps on to talk about the Orlando Magic 97-83 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, first playoff game jitters for a young Orlando team, how Paolo Banchero handled the Cavs defense, why Donovan Mitchell was able to score an efficient 30 points, and an underrated matchup to pay attention to as the series progresses.
