Memphis’ path forward is shrouded in mist. It is largely locked into the core of Ja Morant (three more seasons on his max contract), Desmond Bane (four more years) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (extension eligible this offseason and the one player the Grizzlies do not want to walk).

The Pistons couldn't hold onto a 4th-quarter lead again, as they fell to the Knicks, 94-93, to fall into a 3-1 series deficit.

Cleveland left no doubt on its way to Round 2 — and finished off the most lopsided series in NBA playoff history.
