Wild to see SportsCenter post a video of Dame doing an interview with TNT from the bubble when he was with the Blazers, but edit it to be a Bucks jersey and ESPN mic. A little alarming, honestly.

I asked Obi Toppin about what the moment of seeing Haliburton go down was like. “I felt like that was my fault too. Passed the ball to him and… (long pause) as soon as he went down, that shit hurt. I ain’t gonna lie. I was thinking about that the whole game.”

Jackson, a young fan sitting near the white team bench, just jokingly asked if he could check in. So the Pacers let him. And he scored, wearing Buddy Hield’s jersey.

Tyrese Haliburton jokingly blaming Steph Curry for his off night. “He convinced me to try out pregame naps, because I told him I don't nap. And he told me to try it out and text him after the game… So he'll be getting a text from me shortly. No more pregame naps for Tyrese.”

“Nahhhh,” Aaron Nesmith said postgame when someone showed him this photo. “I haven’t seen that, I don’t know what you want me to say about it. First time I’ve seen it. Might be a new thing. It worked today, so might have to do it again for Game 7.”

"I've never had a coach that poured into me, respectfully, like Steph has," Kelsey Mitchell says. "For the first time in my career, I feel like I have smoeone that values what I bring as a player and person."
