Summary

Verno and Jacoby discuss last night's game between the Warriors and Raptors, which Golden State survived after Steph Curry went down with an injury and Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green turned in subpar performances (0:45). They next discuss the recent sale of the Boston Celtics to a group led by Bill Chisholm, who is a managing partner at Symphony Technology Group (10:11). They break down why keeping co-owner Wyc Grousbeck around for another few years is the smart business move and ensures success for the franchise moving forward. Finally, from Kawhi’s dominant performance to the Knicks' back-to-back losses against the Spurs and Hornets, the guys share their loves and loathes from the week that was.
