Welcome to Down to Dunk. We're part of the Athletic Podcast Network.

With me today is my good friend, Alex Spears. Alex,

what's up? What's up? Afternoon pod. I had to get this one up a little bit earlier.

That game yesterday was just too outrageous to hold this pod until Wednesday morning. We've got to have

this pot, give us pot a little bit more breathing room than that. It deserves it. It was, I mean,

to have those two games back to back. Oh boy. What a treat it has been. I still am in disbelief

that they won that game. I mean, it was just, it felt, the third

quarter felt impossible, and then, I don't know, I just, after the first two games, I just thought,

okay. Well, yeah, because in the third quarter, you're realizing, okay, if this is going to happen,

it's going to have to occur during this, like, Nerlin's Noel lineup. Yeah. And you're realizing, okay, if this is going to happen, it's going to have to occur during this

like Nerlands-No-L lineup.

Yeah.

And you're just like writing that off, like, well, that's not going to happen.
