NBA last night Denver staves off elimination. They beat the thunder one nineteen to one oh seven. Jamal Murray, who was sick overcame his illness, scored twenty five points for the Nuggets, and Nicola jokicch the best player in the world. He had twenty nine points, fourteen rebounds, eight assists. So games se Evan will be Sunday for Oklahoma City. The Knicks play the Celtics in Game six tonight. Knicks need to win that game at the Garden. If they lose it and it goes to seven in Boston, I would

not count out the Celtics. So we'll see what happens there. But big weekend in the NBA hockey last night, how about Carolina huh beat Washington three to one in Game five. They move on to the Eastern Conference Finals where they will take on probably my Florida Panthers, who should close out the Maple Leafs tonight. Let's hope so, because if they don't, then that goes to a game seven. Would that be Sunday? Letch the Game showy. Well, yeah, I

believe that'd be Sunday in Toronto. Yeah, so yeah, that'll be back up in Toronto. So hopefully we can close them out tonight. What else we have sports wise going on PGA Championship huh huh. The top three players did not do well Mary yesterday, Rory was three over seventy four. He was all the talks. Scotty Scheffler did shoot a sixty nine. He's the world number one, he's five shots out of the lead. Xander Schoffley wound up with a seventy two. He's three in the world. He's trying to

go back to back at the PGA Championship. But the big story the forty year old Venezuela. And are you guys excited about Johnny Vegas? How about that for a name? By the way, Johnny Vegas from Venezuela. He's leading shot a sixty four.

Speaker 2

For a moment, I was briefly confused, thought that was that chef that shows up sometimes on on the Bar Show with Taffer. That's Big Vegas.

Speaker 1

I think the other big story, guys in that in that golf round the PGA is that the yesterday have you guys heard the controversy on this.

Speaker 4

That's why mud was getting on the balls, right.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and they and they everybody's coming out now and saying they truly should have i know, pats over their gigging.

Speaker 3

I'm waiting, I'm waiting.

Speaker 2

I'm waiting for you to make a dude wipes.

Speaker 1

Uh you know, but they everybody was saying, after getting five to six inches of rain, it should have been left in place because all the top three guys shanked it on that one hole. A double, a two over a double bogie won the hole. Come on, that's but that what whining.

Speaker 4

Wipes out, the knock the fudge off the ball.

Speaker 3

Come on, you'll see this. Sorry, I've heard it.

Speaker 4

I heard who was whining the It was a Shoffley was whining about it.

Speaker 3

Everybody was the chef too.

Speaker 4

The chef doesn't whine. He just he had a sixty nine. He was able to come back where the other the others could not.

Speaker 3

He don't wine, he just dines. Yes, he's the chef.
