Good day. Welcome back to first take coming you live above the Heineken River deck at Pierce 17.

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Thanks for spending part of your day here with us.

What a time in sports. The Stanley Club playoff first round continues tonight.

Two more games on ESPN Lightning Panthers. Game four, that's seven eastern with Florida up two games to one,

followed by game five between the abs and the stars.

That series tied at two games apiece. Coverage begins with the point six Eastern on ESPN 2 and ESPN Plus.

The Road to the Cup. That rolls on. Back to the NBA playoffs, JJ Reddick kept the same five players on the court for the entire second half of game four on Sunday.

Anthony Edwards said he knew LA would be

vulnerable to his late game attack. Minnesota raised a 10.4th quarter deficit to win 116, 113. Go up 3-1

in its first round series. Lakers legend, Magic Johnson, shared his thoughts on Sunday's loss saying

this. I don't know if it was smart to play LeBron and Luca the entire

second half after only having one day of rest between games three and four. When we needed

LeBron to take over in the fourth, he couldn't. He scored zero points in the fourth. All right,

we'll bring back in our NBA guys, Wendy, Burke. Okay.

Stephen A.

Who's impacted most if the wolves win in round one and L.A.'s knocked out?

To me, the answer to this question is Ant-Man, but before I get a bit more extensive with my answer,

let me say this to Magic Johnson.

I miss you, bro.

I mean, I know you're billionaire and all that.

You know what I'm saying? I know you involved in NFL and all that.

I mean, but damn, you Irving Magic Johnson.
