In Boston, the Bruins went out ugly. Charlie McAvoy was ejected late in Game six of their elimination loss to Buffalo after a violent slash on Zach Benson — a moment the league will certainly review. The Bruins are done, and McAvoy's conduct in the final minutes left a bitter footnote on a disappointing end to their season.
Meanwhile in Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell is locked in and not mincing words ahead of Game seven against New York. RJ Barrett's game-winner forced the do-or-die situation, and Mitchell is already in full focus mode. Home court is on the line, the Cavaliers need to protect it, and Mitchell knows exactly what's at stake when that ball tips off.
And out in Houston, the Rockets have a long offseason ahead after a first-round exit that stung despite fifty-two wins. Questions surrounding Kevin Durant's future, Ime Udoka's job security, and a season derailed by dysfunction — including Durant's exposed burner account — have left the organization at a genuine crossroads. Big decisions are coming, and they cannot afford to get them wrong.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
