Stefon Diggs Cleared In Trial + NBA Playoff Preview: Game 2 Timberwolves Vs Spurs & Knicks Vs 76ers Set For Tonight

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Stefon Diggs' trial and preview tonight’s NBA playoff matchups with the Timberwolves, Spurs, Knicks, and 76ers. The Minnesota Timberwolves opened their playoff series with a narrow 104-102 win over the San Antonio Spurs in a tightly contested, defensive Game 1 that came down to the final possessions on Monday night. Still, it’s only one game in a long series, and Game 2 now becomes a major test of response. Game 2 is set for tonight and both teams will be looking to make key adjustments after a hard-fought opener. For the Spurs, Game 2 is an early but important opportunity to respond after a narrow loss. If San Antonio can clean up execution and turn some of those close misses into made plays, they have a chance to even the series before it shifts momentum further in Minnesota’s direction. The New York Knicks opened their Eastern Conference semifinal series in dominant fashion, crushing the Philadelphia 76ers 137-98 in a Game 1 blowout that was never truly competitive after the first quarter. Still, it’s only one game in a long series and Game 2 between the Knicks and Sixers is set for tonight at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with tip-off scheduled for the evening in Eastern Time. The Knicks will look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead before the matchup shifts to Philadelphia. For the 76ers, tonight represents an early but important response opportunity after a difficult opener. If the 76ers can’t make adjustments, New York’s pace, shot-making and home-court energy could put them firmly in control of the series. Stefon Diggs was found not guilty on all charges in a Massachusetts case that had drawn a lot of attention over the past few days. The charges were felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault stemming from a December 2025 incident involving his former live-in personal chef, who accused him of slapping and choking her during a dispute. Ultimately, the jury concluded there was not enough credible evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and acquitted him on all counts. While the verdict clears Diggs criminally, the situation could still have professional implications, as the NFL may review the matter under its personal conduct policy and teams could weigh the case when considering him as a free agent. Why is Diggs always in drama?
