Epic Collapses & Comebacks: NBA 1st Round Is Delivering! Key Games For Denver & Detroit

Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon to react to another insane weekend of NBA playoff action. The guys start with the fascinating series between the Wolves & Nuggets including if Denver can mount another 3-1 comeback now that Minnesota will be trying to close this series out shorthanded. Plus, the Cavs playoff issues got exposed in Toronto as stars Donovan Mitchell and James Harden continue to be up and down in the postseason. Next, we discuss the young Pistons facing a must win game in Orlando and if the Magic may be the more talented team in the series. Then, we break down Victor Wembanyama’s emphatic return versus the Blazers before talking the Rockets avoiding a sweep from the Lakers despite Kevin Durant’s strange injury situation.
