The playoff intensity is rising across the NBA and NHL—and we’ve got it all covered.
We break down a wild night in the NBA, including Orlando stunning Detroit with a 3–1 series lead, OKC cruising with a sweep, and Denver staying alive behind Nikola Jokić. Plus, a deep dive into the Hawks vs. Knicks series with Antwane Willis Jr., who explains what Atlanta must do to survive a gritty, evenly matched playoff battle.
On the ice, the Carolina Hurricanes are rolling after a dominant first-round sweep. Voice of the Canes, Mike Maniscalco, joins the show to break down why this team looks built for a deep Stanley Cup run—and why their depth and discipline are separating them from the pack.
We also spotlight an unexpected story in baseball: the Colorado Rockies are… competitive? After a historically bad 2025 start, Colorado is showing signs of life early this season.
Plus, a powerful Moment of Awe—a high school volleyball team rallies around their custodian, changing his life in the process.
Big games, big stories, and the moments that make sports matter—this is Sports IQ.
