On today’s episode, Jason discusses how the injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell could ultimately be what prevents Oklahoma City from getting back to the NBA Finals, Victor Wembanyama's continued dominance over Chet Holmgren (and the rest of the Thunder front line), and how San Antonio has managed to slow down MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in two of the four games in this series.
