fighting Frenchmen. Meanwhile, the Knicks lying in wait will give you every possible reason to believe they have four more left in them.

The hockey comes to a sweep last night. We'll dive into that.

0:45.3

And then, holy smoke, you do hear what the most prominent coach in the SEC said yesterday?

0:51.3

Is it possible we're seeing the beginning of the end, as we have always known. Yeah, we're going to go. Starting right now, it is Get Up. We are presented by Crest 3D White, and we are delighted to put together this squad this morning. Big Park has made his way to the big city this morning. McNoughton Goodwill. The great Michael Wilbon is in studio this morning. Kevin Weeks will be here in a moment. Let's go to OKC last night. Critical Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, tied up at two games apiece. And these early highlights, Big Perk, I want you to watch defensively. Victor Wambayama not seeming to have his usual energy. No he didn't, but Alex Caruso came in with the right mindset and that's a great job of the spaces. I don't know what was going on with Wimby last night. Look at him. Look at him. But look, he was walking. The ballot was getting up the floor. First time, Grinney, that he actually looked fatigued. possible that's a major factor here as Holmgren gets that one to go and then four minutes to go in the first. We're going to see this moment here. Why'd we think of that? Look a little chest bump. He's trying to get itself going. That's Wembeenna. Yeah, I love it. But he woke up Jaylon Williams though. He woke Jay Will up. Keep an eye here now as we continue as Caruso with Shay. He did have a great shooting night, Mr. Wilbon, but he got it done when they needed. Assertive. In the big games, they had to have him, starting with game two. Games two, three, and five. Jay Gilders Alexander's Joseph's why he's back to Monica, look at him, put Wembe on skates on the baseline. Yeah, he's still not thrilled with himself, though, which I find very interesting. He's got a high bar as an MVP. He didn't shoot it efficiently, but he got it done. Less than 30 seconds ago in the half, here's SGA again. The Thunder remember scored just 38 points in the first half of game four. They had 69

2:36.0

last night and 11 point lead. Third quarter, Vinnie, how good has Jared McCain been?

2:41.0

Apparently not good enough for the Philadelphia 76.

2:44.0

Sam Presti, here you know. My trash is your treasure.

2:48.0

Look at Deerrin Fox is holding his arm.

2:51.1

Thunder up by 15 after the foul shot. Next Thunder possession, SGA calls his own number, and they're going to pull away. So look at Wenby. He's calling everybody together. Come on, guys, we've got to get this together. I'll translate the French for you a little bit later. Nine minutes in the third. It's Stefan Castle.

3:25.8

Wemby didn't have a lot of highlights last night, Wilbon, but here's one. The athleticism is ridiculous. There still moves, even an off night that you look at him and say, what is that? What is that? Let's see that again now. But it was an off night. He was just 4.15 from the floor. Fourth quarter, we go. SGA, no. McCain, yes, for three.

3:27.1

He had 20 in his first career playoff start, and then with three minutes to go, Thunder up a dozen, SGA putting it

3:33.6

away. He had 32 points, nine assists, Thunder win it by 13. They are now one win away from advancing to their second consecutive final.

3:43.6

And let's talk about the big man. After starring in game four, Victor Webbingiama struggled at both ends.

3:49.1

On offense, he shot four of 15. 27 percent his worst shooting performance in 15 career

3:54.8

playoff games. On defense, as the primary defender, the defensive player of the year,

4:00.2

allowed the Thunder to shoot 11 of 16 at 69 percent, obviously vastly different from what we've been

4:08.4

accustomed to. And so I want to go back to what you said in the highlight there, Big Perk.

4:12.5

I saw a lot of speculation last night on the broadcast and all over social media. Does Wemba Yama look like maybe he's

4:18.7

running out of gas? Man, Wimbi got punk last night. He got punk. I mean, they were whispering
