  [SPEAKER_00]: Late caution flag for debris saw Felix Rosenquist dominating day, go away Sunday, 59 of 90 laps into the 42nd Grand Prix of Long Beach.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And three-time running series champion Alex below was there to take advantage of it.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: For his fourth win of the year in five races, but his first at Long Beach.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: On our reaction podcast Sunday night on the Central Indiana Sports Report, network, it was hotly debated that Rosenquist had the win in hand for Meyer Shank Racing, did the yellow costume the race, or was below two and a half seconds behind just waiting for his time to strike.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't really matter in the end, the Alex Polo legend continues to grow as 11 wins in the last 24 indie car races for Polo.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Rosenquisch finished second, Scott Dixon, his best finish of the year, and third, Kyle Kirkwood finished fourth and Paddo Award was fifth, still a close race at the top of the driver's standings, below Leeds Kirkwood by 17 points.

  [SPEAKER_00]: Please go check out the full recap and reaction podcast with Elijah Poe Dave Chandley and Tipton Tribune and L. Wood Colleator Sports Editor Michelle Garmin that we released late Sunday.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: The series now moves to Indie, but it's another 20 days before the next race on the road course at IMS May 9th.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: There is an Indie 500 test on May 8th.
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: On April 28th and 29th for potential Indicar 500 entrance.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, it was announced today that Jacob Abel is the 30 second entrance, so just waiting for one more to have a full field.
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Abel will likely be at the test at IMS on April 28th and 29th for every potential Indicar 500 entrance.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll have a report on those days with our Indicar guys Elijah Poe and Dave Chandley.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And of course we'll have you covered the entire month of May on the IndiCar Report and on this show as well.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Seven of the eight home teams and favorites, one game ones in the NBA playoffs this weekend, but your Lando magic stun that he choice pistons and game one of that series, leading start to finish in a 112 101 victory.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think this is just a matter of the pistons being rusty, they never look quite right.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: They better get it turned around by Wednesday night though, because if they lose game two, they aren't big trouble.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the other East Game 1 Sunday, the Celtics didn't leave any cracks open for the Sixers.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: They jumped out to a 22-9 lead and it was pretty much over from there.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Never a fight.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Philly was four for 23 from behind the three point arc, but even if they'd had a good shooting night, I can't see them winning.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: even a single game in the series.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Early on, Phoenix looked plucky, Devon Booker looked good and Jalen Green looked like he might have an advantage against the Thunder and just about the time the words, oh, maybe this series might be more interesting than I thought.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then the Thunder went on the 17 to do run midway through the first quarter and a series that's obviously a complete mismatch and a likely be over in four games.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Thunder are the second team ever to win their first playoff game by 30 or more points and back to back years since the Lakers did it in 1985 and 1986.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are definitely the favorites to win it all again.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Spurs also look like serious contenders and spite of their youth.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Victor Wimbin-Yama is an unfair advantage, just probably the most unfair advantage any team has had in the NBA since Shaquille O'Neill.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: He had 35 points with an absolute arsenal of offensive skills that are unguardedable.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the entire starting line up for the spurs is young and athletic and skilled and that team is going to be so good for so low.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think Portland's going to make this series interesting.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They make game one interesting most of the way before the spurs dominated the fourth quarter.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: There are three games tonight and it starts with Cavaliers Raptors game 2 at 7 on NBC Sports Network.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: then things get really good.
• 5:35

• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's followed by nuggets Wolves in game 2, same story.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: The nuggets looked incredible in game 1, but the Wolves are super dangerous.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Man, those are the two best series in the entire first round.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Back to back tonight,
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: There were four Stanley Cup playoff games, Sunday three of them determined by one goal, the other, by two, raining East Champion, Montreal beat the Tampa Bay Lightning, also familiar with winning championships, four to three and overtime in the game of the day on Sunday and the most conspelling series of the entire first round.
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also in the East, the Sabers beat the
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And both favorites, one in the West, the avalanche, who are probably the favorites to win the whole thing, beat the Kings 2 to 1, and the Knights beat the Utah Mammoth, four to two, and the Mammoth's first playoff game ever.
