00:00
but some big finals last night in the nba i want to get right to these and of course talk about all
00:05
of the things that are happening in sports too but before we get to the national basketball
00:08
association this was really the top story in all of sports yesterday because it looks like
00:13
not only has justin tucker his career as far as his ravens career comes to an end but some are
00:20
saying that maybe his nfl career comes to an end too it's a very very difficult situation here that
00:26
is going on right now in baltimore with tucker who of course has been the best kicker on the field in
00:31
the history of the nfl and he was released yesterday now the ravens did draft a kicker named tyler loop
00:37
and the organization is saying that this is a football decision but for those of you who have
00:42
not been following he has been accused of misconduct by 16 massage therapists from eight high-end spas
00:49
and wellness centers in the baltimore maryland area according to the baltimore banner and this
00:55
misconduct was alleged back in 2012 and 2016 in between those years and those were tucker's first
01:03
five seasons in the national football league now needless to say there's a lot of layers to go
01:09
through here with this story and it remains to be seen if tucker will be signed with another nfl team
01:14
after he struggled last year but certainly before all of these allegations by the way we want to be
01:19
clear on that this guy was destined to be a first ballot hall of famer as a kicker which is pretty rare
01:24
all right now in the national basketball association wow what an upset last night
01:28
the denver nuggets who played like less than 72 hours ago go into oklahoma city thunder best team
01:34
in the nba and win on a late shot from aaron gordon a three-pointer 121 to 119 they take a 1-0 series lead
01:43
huge game also from nikola yokich who i mean i can't talk about at this point yokich's numbers i mean
01:50
have there ever been any better in the in the history of the nba playoffs 42 points 22 rebounds
01:56
and six assists it is one player it's incredible uh thunder were up by 10 in the fourth quarter
02:01
they committed a very questionable foul at the end to kind of keep denver hanging around and not take
02:06
a three sga had 33 points in this game but the story of course was the big shot from gordon
02:11
at the end who said that he's been working throughout the season and all offseason to shoot better and it
02:17
paid off i've worked on my jumper a lot a lot you know throughout the years you guys have seen
02:24
maturation of it so it's nice to um have it all culminating on a game winner um but it really
02:33
comes down to my teammates like russ making a great play and finding me in in uh in transitioning
02:38
and in rhythm you know on time on target so um it helps when you have a hall of fame passer passing to
02:45
you um but you know we just didn't want to miss the moment we didn't want to miss the opportunity
02:51
you know if we waited it may be too late so um i'm glad we showed our uh you know uh metal
03:01
but um our grit but we're not satisfied i mean just overall execution on both ends of the floor i
03:10
thought um defensive execution we you know had a lot of possessions that we can clean up and learn from
03:16
uh the rebounding um we can definitely learn from they had a lot of offensive rebounds tonight gave
03:21
them a lot of second life um and then our execution down the stretch offensively so you know it's it's
03:28
lousy that we lost game one we'd rather be one up 1-0 and with stuff to clean up but that's not how
03:33
this works so now we gotta go get to work and execute better next game the eastern conference
03:39
also proved to go right down to the wire and despite being eight and a half or nine point underdogs
03:44
boy the new york knicks stormed back in this one and ended up beating the celtics on the road 108 to 105
03:51
boston was up 30 points in the third quarter the knicks went on a 31 to 11 run to tie it brunson
03:57
had 29 points 11 points in the fourth quarter and the celtics were just chucking up the ball
04:04
constantly in this one didn't try and slow it down and sort of preserve the lead that may have ended up
04:08
costing them because they missed 45 three-pointers which was an nba record that's right they missed
04:16
45 threes in this game so clearly that was a difference in this one tom thibodeau talked about
04:21
the defense they played on those threes and some of those missed shots yeah you know and they still
04:28
you know they got a number of threes up and some of them you know we have to do a better job the
04:33
rebounding we have to make sure that we we fix that so some were good some have to be a lot better you
04:40
know so it and the important thing for us to to understand what it is it's it's one win and then
04:47
understand that we have to reset and get ready for game two yeah you know and it's it's been
04:55
this team has fought all year you know it's been a pretty good road team uh we've had to endure some
05:02
things with guys being out and i think over time that helps you you know you build up you know your mental
05:09
toughness and understanding how important that is uh and it's like i said it's one game there's a lot of
05:16
you know emotional highs and lows in a playoff but no matter what happens you have to keep moving forward
05:22
and so after you guys go up 20 what what changed in in you know what they were doing to to walk that
05:30
lead down yeah i mean i think we uh we left some of their you know some of their good shit open i think
05:36
and nobody went on a small run by himself uh so some personnel stuff uh they were able to get out
05:41
and transition off of some of our misses and then i think they had a 5-0 run off of offensive rebounds
05:46
just so you know detailed stuff that we have to be able uh to be better at and i thought we missed
05:50
you know if you look at that run i thought we missed some good ones and i thought there was
05:53
obviously a few that we could you know fight to get better on meanwhile in the national hockey league
05:58
wild finish last night between toronto and florida in their series going on which potentially could
06:04
lead to the eastern conference championship toronto goes up early and has to really hang on to win
06:10
the maple leafs beat the panthers five to four but yes they were up for one going into the third
06:16
period and then all of a sudden the cats came roaring back they scored three third period goals
06:22
maple leafs goaltender anthony stallers got hit hard in the head it looked like he may have had a
06:27
concussion who knows he was throwing up during the game he had to come out his status for the next game
06:31
is in doubt but in the end the maple leafs do hang on to win game one here's head coach craig
06:37
berube on hanging on to win the craig what'd you say to the group after the cancer score two well
06:43
i'll just settle down i mean i thought that we're you know backing off too much and not being
06:48
aggressive anymore especially through the neutral zone you know we kind of sag back a little bit too
06:54
much and let them get to their game too much you know so it was just get on our toes again let's get
06:59
get up get our gaps up get our angles up you know and you know i thought we um we did a great job
07:06
in the first period of that and a lot in the second too but but that we just kind of sag back
07:12
too much you find uh you were commenting the other night about the way the bench was in ottawa
07:16
the center is tied did you find the guys the same way in the third tonight i think yeah very good you
07:21
know um even with the goalie switch and all everything going on i thought you know i know we
07:28
had a pp at the time but i thought our bench was good tonight meanwhile in baseball a big injury
07:36
potentially to one of the very best players in the national league to oscar hernandez is off to
07:40
an incredible start left the game early last night in the dodgers win in miami he's undergoing an mri
07:45
today felt some tightness in his hamstring and a doctor he was hitting 315 with nine home runs before
07:53
that result coming later today there the padres come back to beat the yankees yesterday they're now 23 and
08:00
11 on the season they beat up devin williams in the eighth inning his era is over 10 jacob wilson comes
08:06
up big again for the sacramento athletics seven to six the final in 11 innings he walked off the game
08:14
and wilson's been great since he's been called up from the minor leagues meanwhile francisco lindor and
08:19
pete alonzo go deep the mets hold on for a five to four win over the arizona diamondbacks arizona
