## Resource

Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals after a blowout Game 7 win, but now comes the bigger question: can the Cavs keep it going against the Knicks? Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down Mitchell’s legacy moment, what it means for Cleveland, and whether the Cavs have a real chance to upset New York. Then, the crew looks at two eliminated playoff teams facing huge offseasons. Will the Detroit Pistons go all-in to build around Cade Cunningham and their young core? Do the Minnesota Timberwolves need major changes after falling short against the Spurs, or just the right tweaks around Anthony Edwards? Finally, Spurs-Thunder Game 1 tips off the Western Conference Finals, and this matchup could be the beginning of the NBA’s next defining rivalry. What makes Victor Wembanyama vs. Oklahoma City so fascinating? Subscribe to Locked On NBA Daily for daily NBA playoff coverage, offseason rumors, trade talk and smart basketball debate.
