Episode Description

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the Thunder advancing to the NBA Finals and the Hurricanes being eliminated from playoffs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder secured their spot in the 2025 NBA Finals with a commanding 124-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals last night. This decisive win clinched the series 4-1, propelling the Thunder to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2012. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with an impressive 34 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds, Western Conference Finals MVP honors. The Thunder's dominance was evident throughout the game, as they overwhelmed the Timberwolves, who were outmatched in this series.

The Timberwolves struggled throughout the game, unable to match the Thunder's intensity and execution. Despite the efforts of key players, Minnesota couldn't overcome the deficit, leading to their elimination from the playoffs. What do we think about Anthony Edwards?

The Carolina Hurricanes were eliminated from the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs last night, May 28, after a 5-3 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. This defeat ended their postseason run and allowed the Panthers to advance to their third consecutive Stanley Cup Final.
