00:00Well, we are going to start with basketball, where the Knicks got a huge win last night.
00:04Yes.
00:05The Knicks beat the Heat in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup.
00:10Final score, Knicks 111, Heat 105.
00:12We like when that happens.
00:14Great game.
00:14Back and forth the entire time.
00:16It was a very close matchup, basically throughout all four quarters.
00:19The Knicks' Julius Randle came back from injury.
00:22Remember, he missed Game 1, and he was excellent last night.
00:2625 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists.
00:28He was spectacular, and point guard Jalen Brunson was great, as always, scoring 30 points himself.
00:35Which one's the one with the bad ankle?
00:37That's Brunson.
00:38Julius Randle.
00:38That's Randle?
00:39Yeah, Julius Randle has the bad ankle, and he was fantastic.
00:43But Brunson was great.
00:45R.J. Barrett was great.
00:46The bench was great, and that's what they need.
00:49The series now tied up at one game apiece, Game 3 in Miami on Saturday.
00:54A little time to rest up.
00:56At 3.30.
00:57So, there you go.
00:58Saturday's going to be very busy, because you've got the Knicks, Yankees, and Mets in action.
01:03They might have, I think the Devils might actually be playing on Saturday as well with the Canes.
01:08And then you have the Kentucky Derby.
01:10Oh, boy.
01:10This is like a zillion sporting events.
01:12All the same day, huh?
01:13Yeah, all taking place on the same day.
01:14Other NBA news, LeBron James and the Lakers took down Steph Curry and the Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, 117-112.
01:24The Lakers go up one game to none on the defending champs.
01:27Baseball, the Yankees snapped a four-game losing streak by taking down the Guardians last night, 4-2.
01:34Yankee rookie Anthony Volpe had two hits, including his third home run of the year.
01:40The Yanks' Willie Calhoun homered as well.
01:42The Yanks improved to 16-15.
01:45We'll take that.
01:46Yeah, it's about time.
01:47They haven't been hitting well, and they needed that win last night, that's for sure.
01:52Phillies were destroyed by the Dodgers, 13-1.
01:54Though there is good news, Philly superstar Bryce Harper returned from Tommy John surgery a lot earlier than expected.
02:02They thought he was going to return around the All-Star break, but Bryce Harper is back, though he was 0-4 in his return from injury.
02:08The Mets game against the Tigers was rained out.
02:11There will be a doubleheader between the Mets and Detroit today, beginning at 140.
02:15With the first game, the second game is at 6-40.
02:18And then hockey, Panthers defeated the Maple Leafs, 4-2.
02:22Kraken got past the Stars, 5-4.
02:24Devils begin their series against the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday.
02:27That's tonight, baby.
02:28That's tonight.
02:29So, let's go, baby.
02:31That's a big one.
02:31I think the Devils can take the Hurricanes.
02:34I think they're a little hobbled.
02:35Jeez, I mean, after that unbelievably emotional win in Game 7, you'd love to keep this momentum going.
02:41Yeah, absolutely.
02:42Bring it right into the Game 1.
02:44Yeah, and then finally, football.
02:45Interesting story here.
02:46The Nielsen ratings people have just stated that the most recent Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Eagles is the most watched U.S. television show of all time, drawing at least 115 million people.
03:00Wow.
03:01Yeah.
03:01All right.
03:02And weirdly enough, Rihanna, they now are readjusting her and saying it's 121 million people, but yet they don't consider that an actual show, just so you know.
03:13So, that's where they can play around with that.
03:15So, it outdrew the game.
03:17They don't consider that halftime a show, even though it actually says halftime show in it.
03:23They don't consider that.
03:25But weirdly enough, they do do separate ratings.
03:28And they say that because the Super Bowl itself is the show.
03:31115 million people is an American record.
03:35Huh.
03:35So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:36So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:36So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:37So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:37So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:38So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:38So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:39So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:40So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:41So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:42So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:43So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:44So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:45So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:46So, that's what I'm going to say.
03:47So, that's what I'm going to say.
