The NBA Playoffs are all about physicality. The games come down to who is the more physical bunch and who can withstand the pressure that the playoffs bring on a nightly basis in order to get the job done.
These 2025 playoffs have brought a ton of physicality. The Detroit Pistons and the New York Knicks have gotten into it in their intense playoff series while the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors have set the bar for physicality and toughness in their series which was no different on Wednesday night.
