Fans of the NBA will be pleased to hear that NBC is reintroducing the iconic "Roundball Rock" theme song for its upcoming coverage of the league. The announcement was made during the Kentucky Derby broadcast, signaling NBC's commitment to delivering a nostalgic experience reminiscent of its past NBA broadcasts.

Rick Cordella, president of NBC Sports, expressed excitement over the return of the theme, which was a staple of NBA broadcasts from 1990 to 2002. The updated version will debut on Peacock, featuring current stars such as Luka Doncic, Donovan Mitchell, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. John Tesh, the original composer, will play the theme live at the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets series continues to intensify, with a notable incident in Game 5 that underscored the escalating tension. Pat Spencer was ejected for headbutting Alperen Sengun late in the game, following a scuffle that included Moses Moody and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Despite Spencer's earlier contributions, which included 11 points and a surge for the Warriors, the Rockets secured a decisive win, shifting the series back to the Bay Area.

Andrew Nembhard is making waves in the NBA playoffs, playing a pivotal role for the Indiana Pacers. The former Gonzaga standout delivered a stellar performance in Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks, contributing 15 points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals, leading the Pacers to a dramatic overtime victory and a series win.

Nembhard's recent playoff performance has showcased his growth as a player, averaging nearly 18 points per game over his last ten outings. His ability to perform under pressure, combined with a strong shooting percentage, has solidified his position as one of the league's reliable young guards. As the Pacers advance to the second round to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, his continued development will be critical to their playoff success.

The Cleveland Cavaliers made history by executing the most lopsided series victory in NBA playoff history, sweeping the Miami Heat with a staggering 138-83 win. This game set records for both the largest playoff margin in Cavaliers history and the most significant playoff loss for the Heat. Cleveland dominated throughout the series, showcasing an impressive offensive and defensive performance, outscoring Miami by a cumulative 122 points over four games.

Donovan Mitchell led the charge with 22 points, while Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen contributed significantly. The Cavaliers' defense proved stifling, limiting Miami's Tyler Herro to a nightmarish -44 plus-minus, reflecting a team effort that capitalized on every opportunity. Cleveland's blend of strong bench scoring and suffocating defense proved too much for the Heat.

The Orlando Magic suffered a heartbreaking 107-98 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 4, a defeat that shifted the series' momentum. Despite a valiant effort throughout the season and a win in Game 3, the Magic faced the harsh reality of playoff basketball against the defending champions. The Celtics, showcasing their championship experience, executed their game plan with precision and determination, overpowering the Magic both offensively and defensively. Jayson Tatum's brilliance, scoring 37 points with 14 rebounds, along with Jaylen Brown’s 21 points, highlighted Boston's dominance.

Orlando’s Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, who scored 31 and 24 points respectively, couldn’t match the firepower of the Celtics. The series now stands at 3-1, with the Magic needing to overcome a steep challenge to avoid elimination. Coach Jamahl Mosley emphasized the need for resilience as they head to Boston for Game 5, showcasing a belief system that their season has built amid adversity.
