They start with Oklahoma City's decisive Game 7 win Sunday over Denver, which set up the Western Conference finals against the Wolves.

North Texas residents shouldn't put their umbrellas away just yet. After rain both Saturday and Sunday, more precipitation is in store for today. There's a potential for some isolated early morning showers, before more severe storm chances return in the afternoon and evening. The showers are most likely to be severe for the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and the counties to the north and northeast. If thunderstorms do develop, hail, damaging winds and a few tornadoes will all be possible in the late afternoon. Today's high will be 83 and the low will be 73. In other news, a bipartisan bill with stars Taylor Sheridan, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson behind it, is advancing through the Legislature and may bolster Texas as a formidable filming site. Senate Bill 22 would establish a biennial fund of $500 million for 10 years; Katy Perry had been scheduled to bring her tour to the American Airlines Center Wednesday but the singer will have to find a new date because the venue will be busy hosting the NHL's Game 1 of the Western Conference finals between the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers; and Dallas' Scottie Scheffler won the PGA Championship on Sunday.

Health care workers in Texas would have whistleblower protections for reporting legal, regulatory and ethical violations under a bill the Senate passed Thursday. The lawmakers voted 21-10 to send the proposal to the House.

Karen May Taube was last seen about 5 p.m. Monday. A Silver Alert was issued Tuesday. An arrest warrant has been obtained for Eva Haron of Michigan. Haron and Taube's whereabouts were unknown Thursday, but police said the pair may be traveling together in a white 2018 Ford F150 with Michigan license plate DXZ9489. Also, Post Malone will headline the 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball, an annual North Texas party that's the world's largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

With a chance to end the series at Canada Life Centre in Game 5 in Winnipeg, the Stars offense went cold again, as the Jets secured a 4-0 win to force Game 6. The Stars still hold a 3-2 series lead with the opportunity to end it on home ice on Saturday.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the end of the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. Bo starts off the show by saying he won't call anyone a "loser," but there is a strong correlation with James Harden and losing (2:43). Sticking with Harden, Bo says why big moments swallow him up (4:30) despite thinking he is a top 5 shooting guard of all-time (12:22). Bo transitions to previewing the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs where he says why he'd take Tyrese Haliburton over Donovan Mitchell (18:50) and why he believes the Oklahoma City Thunder will win the Western Conference (26:36). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving the demise of outdoor dining in NYC, why you've already met your best friend and why chicken breasts are now losing out to dark meat (32:44). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about unexpected significant others showing up to a family event (42:18).
