Let's go.

1:04.6

We have a full house this morning, and we have the honor of Michael Wilbon making his way to our studio for the first time in a very long time. I've got a full football squad ready to go this morning as we are T-minus two days in counting till the draft. We will get to them in just a moment. But we begin with the action last night at Madison Square Garden. Monica, you were there, Alan, you were there? Michael, were you there? I was not there. Fair enough. I should have asked before the show. Let's pick it up in the third quarter because the Knicks with a 1-0 series lead felt like they were in control much of the night, Alan and Carl Anthony Towns in the third quarter going strong. You would think you'd have a heavy dose of a lot of Carl Anthony Towns. He was eight for ten in this game, but in the fourth quarter, he only took two shots. Why? What you just saw there, that three was his last bucket. It came in the third quarter. And then on the other end, it's C.J. McCollum getting called on an offensive foul there. Don't get him going. And now we got a little tea. We got a little action, we got a little little anger, five minutes in the fourth quarter. Knicks are up by six. And as Jalen Brunson, Monica, he was the Knicks offense in the fourth quarter. Yeah, he was. And he does a great job of getting into the paint, but it dried up in the fourth, even though he did get a couple of three. And then look at the ball movement from Atlanta. That's Nikiel Alexander Walker. It's a three-point game.

2:20.6

Four minutes left. Hawks still down three. Jalen Johnson at the rim. It's a one-point game. It's getting tight in the garden, Greenie. It's getting tight. And then it's CJ seeking out this matchup with Jalen Brunson. Yeah, he kept calling. He wanted number 11 every time. They kept switching. Look on an island again.

2:34.1

CJ McCollum went nuts. match up with Jalen Brunson. Yeah, he kept calling. He wanted number 11 every time.

2:34.8

They kept switching.

2:36.0

Look, on an island again.

2:52.2

CJ McCollum went nuts. Hawks in 11-0-0-0 run. They take a three-point lead. Knicks on the other end. Down by three. Not for long. Brunson gets it to go. We're tied at 103. 40 seconds left left. the game McCollum getting to his spot but falling away. Come on. Come on, C.J. That's in his zone. Like, he just 32 points. He just went off. He was talking to Spike Lee. He was talking to everybody stripped there from Nikiel Alexander Walker and now we're running. Johnson, it's up and good. The Hawks with a four point lead. 10 seconds left, it's a four-point game.

3:07.5

Game's over, right?

3:08.2

Where you go?

3:08.6

And certainly not.

3:09.4

Brunson, you're going to get this one to rattle home. He would score 29, 10 of the Knicks 15 and the fourth. Nicks down by one. Hawks forced to call time out. Inbounding, up by one. CJ McCollum gets foul. Go to the line. He can I figure he's going to make both.

3:23.4

Oh yeah, absolutely.
