Part of the interruption, but I'm Mike Wilbot. Tony, somebody smeared whipped cream on the Mona Lisa.

0:10.0

Tony Cornhear's a wavs. Been a long time since someone did that to me. I actually had to pay people to do that.

0:17.0

All right, in the interest of full disclosure, you can't smear anything on the Mona Lisa because it's behind glass.

0:24.0

I've stood in front of the Mona Lisa and very close in the Lou. I don't know, half dozen times in my life at least.

0:33.0

I'm sure you've done it at least a couple of times, right?

0:36.0

Yeah, yeah, I have. And what strikes everybody about it is it's so much smaller than you think it's going to be.

0:41.0

Very small, you're very small, you're very small, people.

Welcome to PTI, boys and girls. In today's episode, the Warriors are way to Celtics. The Lakers have a new head coach.

0:50.0

And we've got a game seven in the NHL tonight, but we begin today with the Boston Celtics leading wire to wire over the Miami Heat last night in game seven in Miami.

1:00.0

And although it got to be a one basket game at the end, Jimmy Butler missed and the Celtics won and they will play in the NBA finals against Golden State.

Wilbot, of course, you were there. What are your thoughts on how this game played out?

1:22.0

Why do we play to coach to quote the great herm that was we played to win the game. Boston won the game, Tony.
