We have our Eastern Conference Finals preview and predictions. Yes, Hawks versus the Bucks tip off tonight,

game one. So we'll get into that.

Talk a little bit about the NBA draft lottery, the winners and losers, some of our favorite moments.

But we start by throwing an al-Upe to a man, Tass here.

Ait and soars for the last second hoop as the Suns beat the Clippers.

An insane game kept us all up pretty late here on the East Coast.

But Tass, have that. What did you think of that one?

I loved it. What a phenomenal game. I mean, this thing had it all. A team never up double digits

throughout the entire game. So you're just drawn in because you just didn't know where it was going to go,

especially with the coaching of these two guys.

Like,

Monty Williams lets McKell Bridges under three minutes left shoot when he was sort of invisible all game.

He was one of five all game.

He hit one field goal.

They run a play for him out of a timeout for Bridges to hit a three. And he did. Everybody is making plays. Usually in that situation, you'd just go to your best player. Are you right? Devin Booker, you're coming off a 40-point game. You got this. Take us home, man. But the coaching was matched from the other side.

Patrick Beverly was starting in this game for the first time in a month, and he did a

great job against Devin Booker.
