Andy Pages just announced himself on the biggest stage possible. Freddie Freeman, a man who has seen everything this game offers, called Pages' ninth-inning at-bat against Mason Miller one of the greatest he has ever witnessed in person. The Dodgers walked away with the win, and a star may have just been born.
Meanwhile in the Eastern Conference finals, the Knicks handed the Cavaliers a lesson in Game One, and the blueprint was brutally simple — go after James Harden every single possession. Jalen Brunson executed that strategy to perfection, sparking a historic rally that flipped the entire complexion of the series before the Cavs could adjust.
And Harden's night got worse when the internet got hold of the box score. Fans were merciless, tagging him as the man racking up more turnovers than field goals in a conference finals game. It is the kind of performance that fuels a narrative, and right now that narrative has legs heading into Game Two.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
