| 0:23.7 | Diving in now with my Fox bet live co host Todd Furman. |
| 0:32.7 | Furman we got a bunch of different things going on, but I think the sort of the focal point of the American sports fan base is on tonight's game between the Warriors and the Lakers and the discussion in a larger context. |
