Montreal came into Carolina and absolutely dismantled the Hurricanes in Game One of their playoff series. Four goals in the first period set the tone, and the Canadiens never looked back, rolling to a six to two victory. The road warriors are proving they are nobody's easy out this postseason.
Shifting to the hardwood, Josh Hart put the Knicks on his back Thursday night, dropping a playoff career high twenty six points as New York beat Cleveland one hundred nine to ninety three. The Knicks are now halfway to their first NBA Finals appearance since nineteen ninety nine, and the Cavs are staring down a serious hole heading back to Cleveland.
Donovan Mitchell says he's not worried, pointing to Cleveland's ability to bounce back at home in Games Three and Four, just like they did against their previous opponent. The Cavs have done it before, but the Knicks are playing with serious momentum right now, and confidence only gets you so far when the scoreboard says two to zero.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
