Summary

The Knicks take a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Cavaliers, and Stugotz, Izzy, and Taylor are here to break it down the day after. Izzy talks about the production the Knicks got from Josh Hart and why Mikal Bridges has been the unsung hero for New York. As the series shifts to Cleveland for Game 3, Taylor says this is a “pull the plug” game. Plus, Boomer Esiason was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, and the crew wonders if Stugotz will eventually get in too.
