We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way! First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones continue dissecting second round playoff action! The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> and the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> have taken 3-2 series leads over the Detroit Pistons<\/a> and Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> respectively. The guys discuss what happened in Game 5, what they’ll be looking for in Game 6 and 7 (if needed), and give early thoughts on Spurs-Thunder and Cavs-Knicks just in case the Conference Finals start before Tuesday. <\/p>\n

From there, the guys shift to the WNBA to bounce around! They discuss the Dallas Wings<\/a>‘ tough loss to the Minnesota Lynx<\/a>, the ensuing postgame presser from Wings head coach Jose Fernandez, and the early returns (and growth areas) for the Wings’ defense. They also check in on the Los Angeles Sparks<\/a>, salute the currently-undefeated Chicago Sky<\/a> and Atlanta Dream<\/a>, and share the games they’re most excited about heading into the weekend. <\/p>\n
