Special guest Steve Jones and Adam Mares break down the biggest games and storylines across the NBA, starting with Jalen Brunson leading the New York Knicks past the San Antonio Spurs to win the NBA Cup and the key contributions from Tyler Kolek, while also evaluating Stephon Castle’s strong performance and Victor Wembanyama’s defensive rebounding issues.
