Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, we had some crazy finishes in the playoffs over the weekend and a bunch of teams are down 3-1. Some playoff hopes are dead. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. Good morning. Good weekend of basketball. No Xena today. She took the day off. We'll just say congratulations, and that's it.

S, we had another great weekend of basketball. This playoff run for us has been awesome. Absolutely. With all of the hours and hours of basketball that we watched over the weekend, it's funny that we're going to spend all this time talking about about 15 seconds from three games because we had controversial slash exciting finishes in multiple games.

had the perfect angle across from Jokic to see him miss the last shot perfectly and to see Aaron Gordon grab it. The initial reaction in the building was shock. Number one, into a dome is extremely loud. I don't know how that comes across on TV. No, it did sound loud. Yes. Two nights. The two playoff games that I've attended there were just I mean, it was amazing how loud the crowd was.

And then it went dead silent when when Aaron Gordon caught that ball and put it through. And we're all, you know, on press row. We were running to the to the replay review, basically, you know, right there on press row. And we're all watching and we don't know the rule. And I mean, look, I coach the sport. I don't know the rule. I'm thinking to myself, well, it's through the cylinder.
