from The Chris Russell Show

The hour opens with reaction to the Knicks storming back from a 22-point deficit to defeat Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, sparking debate over whether the story was more about New York’s resilience or the Cavaliers collapsing late. The discussion breaks down the biggest moments from the comeback, the pressure now facing Cleveland, and what the result says about both teams moving forward in the series. Later in the hour, Ben Strober from Locked On Wizards joins to discuss Washington landing the No. 1 overall pick, how he celebrated the lottery win, who the Wizards should target at the top of the draft, and where the franchise could be headed next season as the rebuild enters a critical stage.
