## Resource

Cleveland Cavaliers collapse in stunning fashion as Jalen Brunson ignites an epic New York Knicks comeback, erasing a 22-point deficit and sealing an overtime statement win. Coaching missteps, defensive lapses, and crucial shots define a chaotic finish—did Kenny Atkinson’s late-game decisions cost the Cavs the series? Jake Madison and John Karalis break down Brunson’s fourth-quarter takeover, the impact of Landry Shamet’s clutch shooting, and why strategic adjustments around James Harden fell flat. Plus, Lockdown Knicks offers raw playoff emotion, and the hosts debate the ripple effects for Game 2 and beyond. The episode wraps with hot takes on the Dallas Mavericks mutually parting ways with Jason Kidd, Masai Ujiri’s arrival, and speculation about the next coaching hire in Dallas. Will the Cavs recover, and who will lead the Mavs’ new era?
