The Cleveland Cavaliers claimed the No. 1 seed in the East and advanced to the second round of the NBA playoffs after sweeping the
No. 8 Miami Heat. The Cavs now face the No. 4 Indiana Pacers, who eliminated the No. 5 Milwaukee Bucks in five games. The No. 2 seed Boston
Celtics continue their title defense after also only needing five games to oust the No. 7 seed Orlando Magic. The Celtics will face the No. 3
New York Knicks. In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder landed the No. 1 seed for a second straight season behind MVP candidate Shai
Gilgeous-Alexander and and became the first team to advance to the second round after sweeping the No. 8 seed Memphis Grizzlies. Finishing
at No. 2 were the Houston Rockets, one of the season's most improved teams, but are now in must-win mode against the No. 7 Golden State
Warriors. LeBron James and Luka Doncic led the Los Angeles Lakers to a No. 3 seed but were eliminated by the No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves.
Meanwhile, three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the No.4 Denver Nuggets outlasted the No. 5 LA Clippers in a Game 7 rout.

In the MLB, the battle between National League powerhouses for the No. 1 spot in power rankings continues in Week 6. The Dodgers,
Mets and Padres are still duking it out for the title of best team in baseball, with Los Angeles retaking the top spot from New York on our
list. The top five is rounded out by a new team, as well, with the Tigers breaking in at the No. 5 spot. Detroit is the top American League
team this week, with the Yankees coming in at No. 7, the Mariners cracking the top 10 and the Royals, the week's biggest risers, at No. 11.

NHL power rankings:
1. Maple Leafs (52-26-4): The Leafs remained one of the league's best teams for most of the season. The Core Four was superb, and Matthew Knies broke out as a young star. Toronto also got consistent goaltending from Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll. Now, the Leafs go into the playoffs with high expectations. What could go wrong?
2. Golden Knights (50-22-10): It took a while for the Golden Knights to get rolling, but they have played very well down the stretch. The key there is the performance of Adin Hill, who was pretty shaky for the first half of the season. Over the last few months, Hill has started to look more like the player who led Vegas to a Cup in 2023.
3. Jest (56-22-4): The Jets got great seasons out of two key veterans -- Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor -- as well as strong showings from Gabe Vilardi and Nik Ehlers. That said, don't be mistaken about who drives the bus. Connor Hellebuyck is about to win another Vezina Trophy, and the team will go as far as he takes it.
4. Kings (48-25-9): I was very skeptical about Los Angeles after a quiet offseason and a so-so start. After three straight first-round losses to the Oilers, the Kings seemed to have plateaued. Then the offense started to click down the stretch, and Darcy Kuemper played like a Vezina candidate. Now we're going to get Round 4 between the Kings and Oilers, and it might finally end differently.
5. Lightning (47-27-8): As it turns out, the Lightning may just never slow down. They made a tough decision to part with Steven Stamkos and bring in Jake Guentzel last summer, but that now looks very wise. Brandon Hagel stepped up for a 90-point season. Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy are still the best of the best at their positions. Tampa's championship window is still wide open.
MLB power rankings:
1. Dodgers (25-13): The seven-game winning streak that was snapped Sunday was their second-longest of the year.
2. Padres (23-13): After enduring their first bad stretch of the season, the Padres did what great teams do. They bounced back with a 5-0 week.
3. Cubs (22-16): The Cubs have won 15 games against teams over .500, most in the majors.
4. Mets (24-14): They've lost four of five, but the Mets were playing at a 113-win pace before that. A backslide was bound to happen.
5. Tigers (25-13): Javier Báez is hitting .309 and playing the hell out of center field. He's already over 1.5 WAR. Last season he posted -1.1.
NBA power rankings:
1. Thunder (67-14): The NBA's best team finishes the season at No. 1 in the Power Rankings, and they opened the season with the league's youngest average age. It's good to be a Thunder fan right now. But this is where the real work begins, as an all-time regular season will be overshadowed by anything short of a conference finals run. And in the West, even their first-round matchup will be a significant test.
2. Cavaliers (64-17): The Cleveland Cavaliers are your regular-season Eastern Conference champs, and they're going to land either second or third in net rating after finishing 12th last year. Donovan Mitchell deserves credit for taking a backseat in both the scoring and playmaking department in order to empower Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, who have put up their best NBA seasons.
3. Celtics (60-21): After going 12-3 in their last 15 games (including Wednesday's loss with none of the top six available), the Celtics look ready to defend their title. In addition to the usual suspects, Boston goes a bit deeper this season with an improved Payton Pritchard. They'll also have what should be a relatively favorable opening-round matchup to get their playoff feet back underneath them.
4. Rockets (52-29): From No. 11 last season to No. 2 this year, the Rockets have pulled off a phenomenal glow-up in basically the blink of an eye. After all the talk of their offensive struggles, they ended up basically in the top 10 on that end, coupled with their absolutely elite defense. The attitude and energy are going to make this a fun team to watch during the playoffs.
5. Knicks (50-31): The Knicks are going to finish with roughly the same record as last season, but things obviously feel quite different with the addition of Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. All that matters to them right now, however, is that Jalen Brunson is back in time for the start of the postseason. He's averaged 21 points and eight assists in his first two games since returning from a nasty ankle injury.
