Down in San Antonio, the Spurs pulled off a stunning Game one upset over Oklahoma City, and Dylan Harper was at the center of it. The rookie guard matched a milestone last achieved by Magic Johnson in playoff history, and his father Ron Harper wasted no time firing back at every doubter who slept on his son coming into this league.
That win had Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle running on fumes when the final buzzer sounded, both players visibly drained in their post-game comments, but drained and victorious is a combination any franchise will take. The Spurs just sent a message to the entire Western Conference bracket.
Shifting to the ice, the Boston Bruins are heading into the draft holding the twenty-third overall pick after the Toronto Maple Leafs won the lottery and bumped Boston out of top-ten territory. The silver lining according to scouts is a highly skilled Swedish winger projected to be available right around that range, so the Bruins may still land a legitimate piece for their rebuild.
Meanwhile Sergei Bobrovsky is officially heading to free agency, and AFP Analytics has put a number on what the veteran goaltender is worth on the open market. Every contending team with a shaky crease situation just got very interested very fast.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
