The Knicks were down 22 points against the Cavaliers when Jalen Brunson decided to take over and put the Knicks on his back!! He scored 17 of his 38 points in the 4th quarter to lead the the Knicks to a win 115-104 in OT. There’s no way the Cavaliers should’ve lost this game. It’s going to be hard to recover from this loss and win the Series.

Jalen Brunson’s performance tonight proved, once again, that he has the talent to lead the Knicks to a NBA Championship!

Everyone should give Coach Mike Brown a lot of credit. He’s done a tremendous job this season, especially on the offensive end. It was a great decision to make Karl Anthony-Towns their point center, which took pressure off superstar Jalen Brunson having to handle the ball. KAT has been making excellent decisions in his role and is playing some of his best basketball alongside Jalen Brunson, who was unstoppable in the last two rounds of the Playoffs!

I’m looking forward to tonight’s Eastern Conference Finals matchup and I’m picking the Knicks to win this Series vs the Cavs. They have the best bench of the matchup, which I think will be a big factor in deciding who will advance. The only thing the Knicks should be worried about is their time off since their last game, since they were playing their best basketball!

I hate to break the news to the rest of the Western Conference, but they may not have a chance to win the Western Conference Finals for the next 5-7 years. The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs are just that good! They are talented, deep, athletic and both teams are well coached.

What a game! What a game! What a performance! What a performance! The San Antonio Spurs’s Victor Wembanyama put on an incredible show tonight finishing with 41 points and 24 rebounds. Wembanyama’s performance was so special because he did it from everywhere on the basketball court, including a Steph Curry like 3 pointer down the stretch. Ladies and Gentleman this is only Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals! 🤯

Congratulations to @shaiglalex on winning back-to-back MVP awards!

The Pistons win tonight was all about their bench who dominated, led by Paul Reed’s 17 points and Daniss Jenkins’ 15 points! They also got a good game out of Duncan Robinson who scored 14 points tonight after missing Game 5. If they continue to play this way they will win the series!

I was sad to hear about the passing of former NBA player Jason Collins, who did so much for the LGBTQ community. Cookie and I want to extend our sincerest condolences to his family and close friends.

After two straight losses, the Pistons will have to make some major adjustments in Game 5 back at home.

Cavs superstar Donovan Mitchell tied an NBA postseason record for most points in a single half by scoring 39 points - 21 of those were in the 3rd quarter alone! He was unstoppable, finishing with 43 points in the Cavs win tonight to tie the Series.

Detroit Pistons superstar Cade Cunningham dominated the game tonight with 12 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter! He got help from Tobias Harris with 21 points to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers and take a 2-0 lead in the Series.

First career three-homer game for Andy!

I must say, the Lakers defended well tonight - they just couldn’t generate enough offense against the World Champs.

My Lakers have an uphill battle going against the reigning World Champions OKC and SGA, who in my mind was the MVP of the First Round of the Playoffs! To beat OKC, we have to find a way to not turn the ball over as much as we did against the Rockets and play great on both ends of the floor - so who’s going to step up and provide scoring to help LeBron and Austin? One thing we all know is OKC can score the basketball, so the Lakers are going to have to play some of their best basketball!

It’s great to hear that superstar Anthony Edwards is available to play tonight with the Timberwolves vs the Spurs! Two of the most exciting players in the game are matching up - Wembanyama vs. Edwards. This to me is going to shape up to be a seven game Series!

I’m so excited about the Second Round of the NBA Playoffs starting tonight with the Sixers and the Knicks! With a healthy Joel Embiid and the Sixers playing some of their best basketball, this is set to be a fun matchup against the Knicks - who we all think will represent the East in the NBA Finals!

I have to apologize to the Philadelphia 76ers for thinking the Series was over after Game 4. Tonight, the 76ers beat the Celtics and were led by the dominant inside play of Joel Embiid - he had 33 points and 8 assists! He had plenty of help from Tyrese Maxey’s 25 points, Paul George’s 16 points and Quentin Grimes’ 18 points off the bench which included four 3’s! Grimes also played solid on the defensive end which helped the 76ers beat the Celtics 113-97! My hat goes off to 76ers Coach Nick Nurse who had an awesome game plan and had his team believing that they could beat the Celtics on the road in Boston!

I'm thrilled to welcome Stacy Johns home to LA as the new President of the @LASparks! Stacy brings nearly 25 years of experience across the NFL, MLS, and NWSL to this role. She is one of the sharpest business minds in sports, and has proven she knows how to build winning organizations. We're looking forward to her bringing that vision back to LA. Huge thanks to my business partner Mark Walter, the Lakers new President of business operations Lon Rosen, and Dodgers President & CEO Stan Kasten for helping us land a true difference-maker! sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/…

The Magic go up 3-1 in the Series over the #1 seed Pistons 94-88! Desmond Bane led with 22 points but the man of the hour was Jamal Cain! Cain’s dunk over Jalen Duren was the best in the Playoffs so far and his defense on Cade Cunningham was exceptional. The Magic caused 20 turnovers for the Pistons and you just can’t win when you don’t protect the ball.
