OKC One Win Away After J-Dub Drops 40, Haliburton’s Dud, KD Lingering, and a Memphis Recalibration


Listen Later

The Thunder are just one win away from an NBA championship after an all-time performance by Jalen Williams. Verno and Jacoby break down the Game 5 Thunder win and expectations for Game 6 back in Indianapolis. Will Tyrese Haliburton show up after an awful performance in Game 5? Or will OKC lift the trophy on Indy’s home court? Next, the guys discuss the latest trade rumors around Kevin Durant and debate whether he will warm up to playing in Minnesota or go to one of his preferred destinations. Also, Verno passionately explains why the Grizzlies are not going to tank after trading Desmond Bane to the Magic.
