Hour 2: The Cavs Choked, the Knicks Survived, and MSG Exploded

from Evan & Tiki

The Knicks pulled off a stunning comeback at Madison Square Garden, erasing a massive deficit against Cleveland and completely shifting the energy of the Eastern Conference Finals. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down whether the Cavaliers truly choked the game away or if the Knicks simply proved they are the better team when the pressure rises. From Jalen Brunson taking over late to questions surrounding Kenny Atkinson’s coaching decisions, the debate gets heated fast. The conversation also dives into Charles Barkley’s brutal assessment of Cleveland’s collapse, Mikal Bridges stepping up in the postseason, and the tactical changes that fueled the Knicks rally. Plus, Evan shares the chaos of balancing Mets scorekeeping from the Chase Bridge while watching one of the wildest playoff comebacks New York has seen in years, leading to hilarious stories, fan reactions, and plenty of classic Knicks hysteria.
