The Lakers, are they in trouble? Are they gonna be the first team ever to blow a 3-0 lead? Can the Rockets actually do this? What happened in game five? What's gonna happen in game six? Cleveland, woof, took some injuries, took some Mobley threes, took some other stuff. Survive. Took Dennis Schroder. Survive at home to beat Toronto. They're up 3-2. Can Toronto even this thing up? What did the Cavs discover? What did they not discover? What can Toronto do to counter it? Detroit prolongs its season with a home win over the Magic. Cade and Paolo, 45 points a piece. We dive into what happened in that game, what adjustments we might see in game six. Can Detroit pull off a comeback? We talk lottery reform.
