The New York Knicks Are On Fire and Wemby Get Tosssed Out
On the latest episode of The Rashad Grove Show, we talk about he 2026 NBA Conference Semifinals shifted into high gear this weekend, delivering a mix of dominant sweeps, strategic stalemates, and high-drama ejections that have redefined the playoff landscape.The East: New York Dominance and Cleveland's ResilienceThe New York Knicks made the loudest statement of the weekend, officially advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals with a ruthless 144–114 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The 30-point blowout completed a clean 4-0 sweep, led by Jalen Brunson’s 22 points and a balanced attack that saw the Knicks’ bench contribute 25 points from Miles McBride. On the other side of the bracket, the Cleveland Cavaliers managed to breathe life into their series against the top-seeded Detroit Pistons. After falling behind 2–0, Cleveland defended home court on Saturday with a 116–109 win. Donovan Mitchell was the catalyst with 35 points, while James Harden provided veteran poise to help the Cavs narrow the series deficit to 2–1. The West: Thunder on the Verge and Wolves Evening UpIn the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder moved to the brink of the next round by dismantling the Los Angeles Lakers 131–108 on Saturday night. Holding a commanding 3–0 lead, the Thunder’s youth and speed overwhelmed the Lakers despite 19 points from LeBron James. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (23 points) and Chet Holmgren (18 points, 9 rebounds) continued their systematic breakdown of the L.A. defense, leaving the Lakers facing a must-win Game 4 tonight. The most dramatic contest of the weekend occurred in Minneapolis, where the Minnesota Timberwolves evened their series against the San Antonio Spurs at 2–2 with a 114–109 win. The game was overshadowed by the second-quarter ejection of Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, who was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul for an elbow to Naz Reid. In his absence, Anthony Edwards took full control, scoring 36 points—including 16 in the final frame—to fend off a late San Antonio rally led by De'Aaron Fox and rookie Dylan Harper.
