NFL Draft Recap & NBA Playoff Drama: Knicks-Hawks Battle + Lakers-Rockets Series Shifts Momentum

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the NFL Draft winners and losers and the NBA Playoffs including teams like the Lakers and Knicks. The 2026 NBA playoffs are currently in the first round. The first-round playoff series between the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks is currently tied 2-2 and has been one of the most competitive matchups so far. The Knicks won Game 1, but the Hawks responded by taking Games 2 and 3 behind clutch performances, including late-game shot-making from CJ McCollum. New York answered in Game 4 with a convincing 114-98 victory, highlighted by a triple-double from Karl-Anthony Towns and strong contributions from Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby. With the series now effectively a best-of-three and shifting back to New York for Game 5, the outcome remains wide open heading into the final stretch. Who will win this series? Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets managed to avoid elimination with a crucial win over the Los Angeles Lakers last night, keeping their first-round series alive at Lakers leading 3-1. The Lakers had controlled most of the series up to that point, but Houston’s Game 4 win forced at least one more game and extended their chances of a comeback. Another notable moment in the series came in Game 3 when Bronny James scored his first playoff points on an assist from his father, LeBron James, marking a rare father-son milestone in NBA playoff history. Can the Rockets be the first team in NBA History to comeback from down 1-3? The NFL Draft concluded this weekend! How did your team do during the draft?
