## Resource

Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon to react to an epic weekend of Game 7’s before previewing the Eastern & Western Conference Semifinals. The guys start by breaking down the 76ers finally getting past the Celtics and why it may be a strong matchup for Philadelphia vs. the New York Knicks. Next, we tackle the Pistons and Cavs surviving their Game 7 battles prior to discussing the keys to their matchup in the conference semifinals. Then, we move to the Western Conference to analyze if Anthony Edwards will be able to return to give the Spurs enough of a series. Finally, can the shorthanded Lakers provide any resistance to the defending champion Thunder? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
