Our closer, Jens Lewis, back home in Cleveland, Ohio.

Got a lot to get to here.

Kelly Bidlin's going to join us at the very end of this program before he kicks off his day with a numbers game with Gil Alexander.

Of course, we're going to have Jonathan Davis talking all things Stanley Cup playoffs. And of Roots going to join the program in the very next segment. Obviously, the very tragic news yesterday with a passing of Kyle Bush. And we're going to preview the Indianapolis 500 as well. So we cannot wait for those conversations with those gentlemen coming up a little bit later on. But Jensen, we have to start this hour with what we saw last night at the world's most famous arena. That's where we'll be in today's edition of our highlights and

headlines. Help your bottom line with today's highlights and headlines.

Forget it, man. Warmer dropped the big one. Over? It does feel over, Jensen, after game two last night in New York. I mean, you hold Jalen Brunson. You saw the defense the way it was going to be played out. Let's go ahead and let Hart get whatever he wants. We'll take away Brunson. It's two points at halftime, and the Knicks still lit at it half and then they blow them out in the second half, win by 16. Donovan Mitchell looks good to be compromised with the leg situation, Jensen. I don't want to say it's over, but it doesn't feel good if you're back in the calves this morning. Yeah, just again, I would harken back to it's the way that the loss happened, of course, in game one.

1:45.7

And I actually thought the calves looked pretty resilient and were able to kind of flush it in the first quarter yesterday.

1:51.8

But the inability to adjust coaching wise for Kenny Atkinson is getting absolutely exposed and then some.

2:00.7

Cleveland will try and become the third team in

NBA history to come back from multiple O2 deficits in the same postseason. Ironically, Dave, those

two happened in the same post season back in 2020 to 2021. It was the LA Clippers who eventually

lost in the conference finals and then the Milwaukee Bucks

2:18.1

who actually went on to win the NBA title. So there is precedent, but it's the manner of

2:24.1

which we've seen how the fourth quarter and overtime transpired in game one. And then from

2:29.5

the second quarter on yesterday, incredibly tough to watch as a cavalier fan they look lifeless they look injured

much in the big moments and and he cannot catch out i've got a ticket going back to the cognizant classic with Shane Lowry top 10. It's been a fun three-month ride, Jensen. I think my ticket might be, time might be expiring here in the sand and the hourglass going the wrong way with the cavaliers. I don't know what's going to happen with my OKC ticket. Now, I did buy in after they lost game one to San Antonio. They win game too. That's the good news. The bad news was we saw Jalen Williams leave that game, didn't look good, and he did not come back in game two. Now, tonight, game three, they're two point underdogs against San Antonio.
