Cade Cunningham is simply built different. The Cavaliers spent three quarters trying to make anyone else beat them, and it almost worked — until the fourth, when Cunningham erupted for twelve points and reminded Cleveland exactly who they're dealing with. Detroit takes game two and holds a commanding two-nothing series lead.
Shifting to the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder hosted the Los Angeles Lakers in game two of the Western Conference semifinals Thursday night, looking to go up two-nothing themselves. The top seed in the West has been dominant all season, and the Lakers face a serious hole if they can't steal one on the road before this series heads back to Los Angeles.
And the rumor mill is absolutely churning in New York — reports suggest the Knicks could be players in a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade this offseason. A blockbuster deal involving the two-time MVP would reshape the entire Eastern Conference landscape and give New York a franchise cornerstone the city has been dreaming about for a generation. Nothing official, but the smoke is getting thick.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
