Finals Game Two: Live and Learn
Game One of the NBA Finals saw the Oklahoma City Thunder on the verge of possibly beating down the Indiana Pacers and racking up yet another dominant win in this run. They were up by as much as 15 points, they were owning the game all night, and the Pacers didn't have the answers, until the fourth quarter happened. Indy chipped away at OKC's lead, bit by bit, until it was down to one possession. Finally, the masterpiece: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turning the ball over, and it ends up in the hands of Tyrese Haliburton, and he does it again.

2025 NBA FINALS
SAY IN COMMENTS WHO DO YOU THINK THAT WILL WIN In these NBA Finals, where the Thunder were clearly the favorites, things are no longer so certain, especially since Indiana hasn’t been the favorite at any point during the playoffs. On Thursday, Indiana showed that being ahead for just 0.3 seconds is enough to win a game. In these Finals, it’s the MVP (Shai) going up against, in my opinion, the clutch player of the year (Haliburton).

Caitlin Clark Is the Chazz Michael Michaels of Basketball
For those who missed the cinematic masterpiece that was "Blades of Glory," Chazz Michael Michaels was figure skating's most beautiful disaster—a whiskey-soaked, leather-clad hurricane who treated the sport like his personal nightclub. He didn't ask permission to redefine what figure skating could be. He just showed up, cranked the volume, and made it impossible to look away.

Finals Game One: Hold Our Beer, NHL
It only took barely over a month for me to eat crow. During the tail end of April, I wrote a piece about how the NBA (especially the playoffs) lacks parity. This was due to the fact that three first round series ended in sweeps, and one ended in five by the time I wrote the piece, while the first round of this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs had no sweeps. I had also said that we're basically doomed to get the same teams deep in the playoffs in the NBA, while the NHL will give us different teams every year.
