Adam Mares and Tim Legler break down the biggest NBA games and storylines from around the league, starting with reactions to the New York Knicks winning the NBA Cup and what it means for their season. The guys dive into Trae Young’s return to the Hawks and how it was spoiled by a surging Hornets team, including a deep look at Charlotte’s young core and their shockingly efficient offense. They discuss Jalen Johnson’s rapid development and why he reminds Tim Legler of Kevin Durant, debate the best long term fit next to Trae Young, and analyze the Mavericks staying hot after outlasting the Pistons alongside another standout performance from Cooper Flagg. The show also covers Detroit’s shooting concerns, the Pelicans stunning the Rockets in overtime, the Nuggets’ dominant second quarter run against the Magic, the Suns edging the Warriors in a thriller, and a wildly controversial finish in the Blazers vs Kings game.
