CJ McCollum is making life miserable for New York. The Hawks guard hit a cold-blooded fadeaway with twelve and a half seconds left Thursday night, sealing Atlanta's win and pushing the Knicks to the edge of a two-to-one series deficit. New York needs an answer, and they need it fast.
Meanwhile in the draft, Philadelphia got aggressive and got their guy. The Eagles traded up with division rival Dallas, landing USC wide receiver Makai Lemon at pick number twenty. Lemon was projected as a top-sixteen talent but slid, and the Eagles pounced — a move that looks even more significant given the A.J. Brown situation looming on the horizon.
And speaking of Dallas making moves, the Cowboys didn't just profit from that Eagles trade — they also traded up to grab Ohio State safety Caleb Downs at number eleven overall. Downs recorded two hundred fifty seven tackles and six interceptions during his time in Columbus and fills a genuine need for a Cowboys defense looking to rebuild its back end heading into two thousand twenty six.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
