It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the Bet Rivers Network.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the Bet Rivers Network.

We come to you this evening as the Knicks have eliminated, embarrassed, destroyed, disseminated,

just by limb by limb, taking apart the hawks this evening and moved on in the east and it looks like right now

although there's a lot of time left in the third quarter but the Celtics may be headed for

a game seven so and so the Knicks will have to see we put their feet up and wait and see what

happens now um I've seen a lot of NBA

games in my life uh i did a lot of NBA games i was at the i was at the uh memorial day

massacre Celtics and lakers in the finals when uh you know the Celtics to the Lakers ran out of the building and then we hung around until Thursday night when everyone has written off Kareem and then he came back with a huge game and tied the series at one apiece.

I remember the Portland games against the Sixers in the finals that were one-sided, but nothing, nothing in a playoff game like I've ever seen tonight.

I have never seen a surge like that in the first half of an NBA playoff game in my entire life.

I mean, this game boarded, it was 72 to 22 with 439 left in the first half.

72 to 22.

So obviously, the second half was meaningless.

What do you take from this game? Listen, the Knicks turned the corner in the series took over the

series did it in a dominant fashion did it with their defense uh OG has never played better I

think this is the best basketball he's ever played in his life in this series um

towns played well and tonight they even got a rebirth from

bridges who had uh 16 points at the half and i think he's going to wind up somewhere in the 20s um

this was as you know Atlanta had 14 first half turnovers.

The Knicks were shooting in the high 60s.

Uh, and like we said, this is 83.36 at the half, the most one-sided first half game in the history of the NBA playoffs.
