No more talk of load management or the Groundhog Day nature of the NBA regular season — the playoffs are here. The games matter, the intensity is high and coaching strategies — and team roster building — are put to the ultimate stress test.
Corey Robinson and Kurt Helin of NBC Sports get into the play-in games — particularly the Lakers’ win over the Timberwolves — and then get into all the first-round matchups.

Corey’s Jukebox gets into LaMelo Ball and what’s next for the star in Charlotte.
