Lakers Lose Game 1, NBA Playoffs Heat Up and Dodgers Search for Ohtani Run Support

Grant Mona and Arash Markazi are joined by Demetrius Beaver and Timothy Parker for a lively episode of The Sporting Tribune Today after a huge night in the NBA playoffs. In segment one, the crew reacts to the Lakers’ blowout loss to the Thunder in Game 1, how Los Angeles set the tone early, and what Reaves' performance could mean for the rest of the series. Then in segment two, the guys go around the rest of the Game 1 matchups, breaking down the biggest takeaways, early overreactions, and which teams already look like they have a real edge. They also dive into the Dodgers’ frustrating trend of not winning Shohei Ohtani starts, what is going wrong in those games, and how much concern there should be as Los Angeles tries to steady itself.
