The Knicks have a chance to seize control of the Eastern Conference Finals, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into why Game 2 is about more than just taking a 2-0 lead. With the Western Conference turning into a possible war of attrition, the conversation centers on how important rest, health, and urgency could be if the Knicks keep pushing toward the NBA Finals.
Evan and Tiki break down Mike Brown’s adjustments, Karl-Anthony Towns’ role as an offensive hub, the challenge of Cleveland’s size, and how the Knicks can counter with shooting and smarter lineups. They also get into Hack-a-Mitch, Landry Shamet’s impact, Kenny Atkinson’s decisions, emotional insurance for nervous fans, and a sharp Yankees-Blue Jays pitching duel that came down to the smallest moments.
