## Resource

Mike Gallagher and Austin Yamada return to break down Game 5 of the NBA Western Conference Finals, which saw the San Antonio Spurs fall to the Oklahoma City Thunder, leaving them one loss away from elimination. Mike and Austin discuss how Alex Caruso could be a sneaky Western Conference Finals MVP with his stellar performances off the bench before looking at how much rest advantage the Knicks truly have over either of these teams after a gruelling series.
