Summary

The Knicks swept the Cavaliers in dominating fashion, leaving Boomer in the Twilight Zone over a run reminiscent of the 2007 Giants. Jerry's update featured Mike Breen's call sending the Knicks to the NBA Finals, Jalen Brunson's series MVP honors, and fans screaming outside MSG. Meanwhile, Kenny Atkinson claimed they analytically won two of their first three games, Anthony Volpe's two-run single won it for the Yankees, the Mets dropped their fourth straight to the Reds, and three Astros pitchers combined for a no-hitter. We close with pricey Finals tickets, Fat Joe's courtside drama with the Cavaliers, and Gio demanding Nets fan Evan Roberts sell his tickets.

0:24.4	Last year, just about this time, we found out that the New York Knicks had fired Tibbs. Tom Tibbeto, the head coach said had taken them from just
0:30.2	about nothing along with Jalen Brunson and Julius Randall prior to that and Leon rose to

If you have gone through the ups and downs and a lot of downs as a New York Knicks fan, they are on the brink of winning an NBA title back in the finals. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? You know what, gee, I wake up this Tuesday morning, just like every other Nick fan out there. Just absolutely blown away by the brilliance of the New York Knicks and the destruction of the Cleveland Cavaliers and James Harden, who was an embarrassment, by the way.
