You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
In the NBA Finals, San Antonio pulled off something nobody saw coming — the Spurs snapped New York's thirteen-game winning streak, stealing Game Four on the road and finally getting on the board in this series. The Knicks had been untouchable at Madison Square Garden, but the Spurs shattered that momentum and now this Finals has a pulse again.
Shifting to baseball, the Pittsburgh Pirates did something special Wednesday night at PNC Park, erasing a five-run deficit against the Los Angeles Dodgers to win nine to eight and snap a four-game skid. Tyler Callihan went off with two home runs, and the Pirates showed the kind of fight-back energy this franchise has been searching for all season long.
Meanwhile in New York, the Mets are in serious trouble. Back-to-back blowout losses to the Cardinals, the latest a nine to two beatdown that never once felt like a contest. St. Louis has been clinical, the Mets have been flat, and the questions in that clubhouse are getting louder with every quiet at-bat.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
