## Resource

Adam Mares and Jason Timpf break down the biggest NBA Play-In games and storylines, starting with the Charlotte Hornets’ win over the Miami Heat and what Miami’s zone defense looked like in that matchup. They discuss Kon Knueppel’s tough night, the impact of Sion James and Davion Mitchell, and the full LaMelo Ball experience, including questions around his approach and development. The conversation then shifts to whether experience actually matters in the Play-In and if it’s time for changes in Miami. They also cover the Portland Trail Blazers beating the Phoenix Suns, Deni Avdija’s huge performance, and concerns about Devin Booker’s play and late-game execution alongside Jalen Green. The episode wraps with Playoff and Play-In previews, including Blazers vs. Spurs, Magic vs. 76ers, and Clippers vs. Warriors, plus what’s at stake for each team. An ALLCITY Network Production
