Join Mill from BKE to hear her postgame reaction and thoughts from the Knicks win over the Memphis Grizzlies 123-113 with guest CP from True Knicks Talk : @CPNYSports They go through a lot of NBA rumors and trade talk as well! The New York Knicks had a huge lead through the first 3 quarters, being up by as much as 28 points. The Grizzlies made 9 threes in a row in the 4th to cut the game to single digits. Tom Thibodeau was forced to bring Jalen Brunson back into the game when he thought he was done for the night, and twisted his ankle driving with the ball on a wet spot. Josh Hart also got nicked up in the 4th quarter, and they both have to get checked out by the medical staff after the game. Derrick Rose played! Vince Williams, Jr. led the Grizzlies with 19 points. Gg Jackson had 16. Donte DiVincenzo led NY with 32 points. Brunson had 27 points and 8 assists. Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa had 17 a piece.

On today's show, the NBA released their top selling jerseys, Chris has a wild animal in his backyard, the Grizzlies lost to the Kings, Roser saw a great ending to the Hustle game last night and NFL Championship Weekend Notes.3:00--NBA released their top selling jerseys. Chris will try to guess the Top 10. 8:19---Chris has a wild animal in his backyard and we'll try to guess what it is and what is being done about it19:10---Grizzlies fell to the Kings last night, Matt Hurt's NBA debut, taking Jaren Jackson Jr out with 5 fouls with less than 4 minutes left, the Memphis Hustle's amazing win over Santa Cruz and more.1:06:21---NFL Notes including Trent Williams looking to make history, Mahomes/Kelce, Ravens struggles when trailing by double-digits, Jahmyr Gibbs doing something only 5 other running backs have ever done and more.
It was tight one, and it never should have been. Had the Kings lost this one, we would've had another worst loss of the year contender. The Kings played a skeleton crew of not the Memphis Grizzlies, but the skeleton crew of the Memphis Hustle, their G-League Affiliate. This team, with a bunch of G-Leaguers and Jaren Jackson, played the Kings almost dead even and got dangerously close to beating the Kings. How? Well, the Kings played like absolute garbage. And it wasn't just regular garbage, it was a masterclass of how to blow a game against an severely shorthanded opponent on the 2nd night of a back to back. They couldn't hit shots, they turned it over 19 times and were just straight dumb, had they just played regular bad, they would've won by 20 going away. But instead, they squeaked by with so big shot down the stretch. It was awful to watch, and really just highlights how the Kings are such a weird team on a night to night basis. Sure, good teams can sometimes lose to bad teams, OKC with a healthy roster just lost to the Pistons over the weekend. But ultimately, the Kings did pull it out to extend their win streak to 3 going into Miami on Wednesday. Miami has lost their 7 games, but the Kings better go in with their A game, because if they come out the way they did against the Grizzlies tonight, the Heat will absolutely terrorize them. Fong is back and he talks about his thoughts on the Royal Rumble and the Niners going to the Superbowl after pulling off one of the most impressive comebacks in NFL history against the Lions on Sunday.

David Perron and Tyler Bertuzzi scored goals for the Red Wings, who have lost two straight after winning seven of eight. Magnus Hellberg had 36 saves. Ducks 4, Blackhawks 2 – Ducks snap Blackhawks’ 5-game win streak with 4-2 victory Max Jones scored the go-ahead goal, Troy Terry had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks ended the Chicago Blackhawks’ five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Monday night.

Tyler Johnson had a power-play goal and an assist, and Andreas Athanasiou scored for the Blackhawks, who had been on their longest run of sustained success since winning five in a row in January 2020. Petr Mrazek gave up four goals on 33 shots. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe’s salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Charlotte Hornets 117, Detroit Pistons 106 Hornets 117, Pistons 106 – Ball fractures ankle in Hornets’ 117-106 win over Pistons LaMelo Ball made six 3-pointers before breaking his right ankle in the third quarter, and the Charlotte Hornets held on to beat the Detroit Pistons 117-106 for their fifth straight victory.

He was hurt on a non-contact play, and the Hornets announced after the game that he had fractured his right ankle. Hamidou Diallo and James Wiseman each scored 23 points for the Pistons.

No. 2 Alabama had five first-place votes and No. 3 Kansas received eight. UCLA and Purdue rounded out the top 5. The Boilermakers held at No. 5 despite losing to No. 15 Indiana. The rest of the poll, only No. 20 Providence kept the same position from last week. NCAAWBKB – 36 weeks and counting for South Carolina South Carolina is No. 1 for the 36th consecutive week. That ties Louisiana Tech for the second-longest run atop The Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll in history. Only UConn with 51 weeks has a longer streak. Indiana stayed at No. 2 despite a last-second loss to Iowa. Utah was third with LSU and Maryland rounding out the top five. Iowa was seventh with Virginia Tech eighth. UConn fell five spots to ninth after losing to St. John’s. Notre Dame is 10th. South Florida re-entered the Top 25 at No. 25. Florida State dropped out.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Ottawa Senators 6, Detroit Red Wings 2 Anaheim Ducks 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Senators 6, Red Wings 2 – Giroux has goal, 3 assists as Senators beat Red Wings 6-2 Claude Giroux scored the tiebreaking goal and had three assists, Thomas Chabot had a goal and two assists and the Ottawa Senators beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-2. Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, Drake Batherson and Jake Sanderson also scored to help Ottawa win its second straight after a two-game skid. Cam Talbot finished with 22 saves. David Perron and Tyler Bertuzzi scored goals for the Red Wings, who have lost two straight after winning seven of eight. Magnus Hellberg had 36 saves. Ducks 4, Blackhawks 2 – Ducks snap Blackhawks’ 5-game win streak with 4-2 victory Max Jones scored the go-ahead goal, Troy Terry had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks ended the Chicago Blackhawks' five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Monday night. Isac Lundestrom and Jakob Silfverberg also scored, Mason McTavish had three assists, and the Ducks won their third straight game. Lukas Dostal made 24 saves after losing his previous five starts. Tyler Johnson had a power-play goal and an assist, and Andreas Athanasiou scored for the Blackhawks, who had been on their longest run of sustained success since winning five in a row in January 2020. Petr Mrazek gave up four goals on 33 shots. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe's salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Charlotte Hornets 117, Detroit Pistons 106 Hornets 117, Pistons 106 – Ball fractures ankle in Hornets’ 117-106 win over Pistons LaMelo Ball made six 3-pointers before breaking his right ankle in the third quarter, and the Charlotte Hornets held on to beat the Detroit Pistons 117-106 for their fifth straight victory. Terry Rozier scored 22 points and Gordon Hayward had 19 points for Charlotte, which is still second-to-last in the Eastern Conference standings — ahead of only Detroit. Ball finished with 18 points. He was hurt on a non-contact play, and the Hornets announced after the game that he had fractured his right ankle. Hamidou Diallo and James Wiseman each scored 23 points for the Pistons.

The rest of the AP Top 25 was a big jumble. Houston was No. 1 for the second straight week in the poll released Monday, receiving 49 first-place votes from a 62-person media panel. No. 2 Alabama had five first-place votes and No. 3 Kansas received eight. UCLA and Purdue rounded out the top 5. The Boilermakers held at No. 5 despite losing to No. 15 Indiana. The rest of the poll, only No. 20 Providence kept the same position from last week. NCAAWBKB – 36 weeks and counting for South Carolina South Carolina is No. 1 for the 36th consecutive week. That ties Louisiana Tech for the second-longest run atop The Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll in history. Only UConn with 51 weeks has a longer streak. Indiana stayed at No. 2 despite a last-second loss to Iowa. Utah was third with LSU and Maryland rounding out the top five. Iowa was seventh with Virginia Tech eighth. UConn fell five spots to ninth after losing to St. John's. Notre Dame is 10th. South Florida re-entered the Top 25 at No. 25. Florida State dropped out.

After Djokovic and Graf on the all-time No. 1 weeks list are Martina Navratilova with 332 and Serena Williams with 319. The computerized rankings began in the 1970s.

Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe's salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Ottawa Senators 6, Detroit Red Wings 2 Anaheim Ducks 4, Chicago Blackhawks 2 Senators 6, Red Wings 2 – Giroux has goal, 3 assists as Senators beat Red Wings 6-2 Claude Giroux scored the tiebreaking goal and had three assists, Thomas Chabot had a goal and two assists and the Ottawa Senators beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-2. Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, Drake Batherson and Jake Sanderson also scored to help Ottawa win its second straight after a two-game skid. Cam Talbot finished with 22 saves. David Perron and Tyler Bertuzzi scored goals for the Red Wings, who have lost two straight after winning seven of eight. Magnus Hellberg had 36 saves. Ducks 4, Blackhawks 2 – Ducks snap Blackhawks’ 5-game win streak with 4-2 victory Max Jones scored the go-ahead goal, Troy Terry had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks ended the Chicago Blackhawks’ five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory on Monday night. Isac Lundestrom and Jakob Silfverberg also scored, Mason McTavish had three assists, and the Ducks won their third straight game. Lukas Dostal made 24 saves after losing his previous five starts. Tyler Johnson had a power-play goal and an assist, and Andreas Athanasiou scored for the Blackhawks, who had been on their longest run of sustained success since winning five in a row in January 2020. Petr Mrazek gave up four goals on 33 shots. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Arizona Coyotes, 9:00 p.m. NHL – Maple Leafs up ante in East by making trade with Blackhawks The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired forward Sam Lafferty and defenseman Jake McCabe from the Chicago Blackhawks. Their latest big trade comes the day after division-rival Tampa Bay paid a hefty price to acquire forward Tanner Jeannot from Nashville. Talent continues to flow to Eastern Conference contenders ahead of the NHL trade deadline Friday. In recent days, New Jersey got big winger Timo Meier from San Jose and Boston traded with Washington for Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov. Toronto sent a conditional 2025 first-round pick, a second-rounder in 2026, prospect Pavel Gogolev and forward Joey Anderson to the Blackhawks for Lafferty, McCabe and conditional fifth-round picks in 2024 and ‘25. Chicago is retaining half of McCabe’s salary. Dubas, in his fifth season as Leafs general manager, said talks with Chicago counterpart Kyle Davidson predated trades by the Lightning and Bruins, but isn’t downplaying the value of keeping up knowing how difficult the first couple of rounds will be this spring. NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Charlotte Hornets 117, Detroit Pistons 106 Hornets 117, Pistons 106 – Ball fractures ankle in Hornets’ 117-106 win over Pistons LaMelo Ball made six 3-pointers before breaking his right ankle in the third quarter, and the Charlotte Hornets held on to beat the Detroit Pistons 117-106 for their fifth straight victory. Terry Rozier scored 22 points and Gordon Hayward had 19 points for Charlotte, which is still second-to-last in the Eastern Conference standings — ahead of only Detroit. Ball finished with 18 points. He was hurt on a non-contact play, and the Hornets announced after the game that he had fractured his right ankle. Hamidou Diallo and James Wiseman each scored 23 points for the Pistons.

The rest of the AP Top 25 was a big jumble. Houston was No. 1 for the second straight week in the poll released Monday, receiving 49 first-place votes from a 62-person media panel. No. 2 Alabama had five first-place votes and No. 3 Kansas received eight. UCLA and Purdue rounded out the top 5. The Boilermakers held at No. 5 despite losing to No. 15 Indiana. The rest of the poll, only No. 20 Providence kept the same position from last week. NCAAWBKB – 36 weeks and counting for South Carolina South Carolina is No. 1 for the 36th consecutive week. That ties Louisiana Tech for the second-longest run atop The Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll in history. Only UConn with 51 weeks has a longer streak. Indiana stayed at No. 2 despite a last-second loss to Iowa. Utah was third with LSU and Maryland rounding out the top five. Iowa was seventh with Virginia Tech eighth. UConn fell five spots to ninth after losing to St. John’s. Notre Dame is 10th. South Florida re-entered the Top 25 at No. 25. Florida State dropped out.

He begins his 378th week in the ATP’s top spot on Monday to surpass Steffi Graf’s 377 leading the WTA. Djokovic already held the men’s mark. He eclipsed Roger Federer’s old ATP standard of 310 weeks in March 2021. Djokovic returned to No. 1 this time by winning the Australian Open in January. After Djokovic and Graf on the all-time No. 1 weeks list are Martina Navratilova with 332 and Serena Williams with 319. The computerized rankings began in the 1970s. Soccer – US women’s soccer coach paid 27% as much as men’s coach U.S. women’s coach Vlatko Andonovski earned 27% as much as American men’s coach Gregg Berhalter in the year ending last March 31, down slightly from 28% in the previous year. Andonovski earned $446,495, according to the U.S. Soccer Federation’s tax filing, including $50,000 in bonus money for the Americans’ third-place finish in the Tokyo Olympics.

The Core 4 was pushed to Tuesday this week after Xavier, Dave, and Matt had a weekend full of Tennessee athletics to travel to see. In the intro, Matt and Xavier talk about their visits to watch the Titans and the Vols football games and Dave finishes with his impressions from seeing the Grizzlies in person to take on the Wizards. Then, the fellas discuss the impending return of Jaren Jackson Jr. who was upgraded to doubtful over the weekend. The return of Jackson Jr. has Memphis fans excited about the ceiling of the Grizzlies' defense with their anchor back in the lineup. However, Xavier and Dave believe it's better to be cautious in the early stages. It will take some time for Jaren to return to his Defensive Player of the Year contender level, and his comfort level will be something to watch for in the early going. Next, the guys debut their College Football Playoff style rankings for NBA Title Contenders. Matt left off Memphis altogether from his list but because of the points they accumulated are sitting right on the outside looking in. The top-heavy East ends up with three of the top four spots, can Boston make another run to represent the East in the Finals? In Kleiman Corner, Xavier's darling Kenneth Lofton Jr. has been a force for the Memphis Hustle. If his success is sustainable, he could leave the organization with no choice but to move him up to the big club permanently. Xavier already believes he has shown plenty but Matt lays out some statistical benchmarks Lofton needs to hit to earn his spot. To close the show, Dave goes into the recent history of the Grizzlies and the city of Memphis' support. The unveiling of the Grizzlies' new City Edition uniforms was met with league-wide praise. The new jerseys represent the team and the city as a whole and for them to debut on a national stage against Minnesota brings even more support throughout the league.
