Upsets in abundance: The Knicks roared back on Monday evening in Boston on Monday evening from 20 points to The Celtics, 108-105 (OT). Then Aaron Gordon drained a 3 pointer in the last seconds to complete a 14-point comeback and to raise the nuggets on 121-119 in OKC. This comes a day after the Pacers hit the top seed cavs in Cleveland.

✍️ game notes:

• Historical performance: Nikola Jokić (42-22-6), the MVP finalist Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (33-10-8) as a MVP finalist compared to Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neal and Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only player, over 40 points, 20+ boards and Giannis-Antetokounmpo assisters exceeded in an NBA playoff game.

• Live after the three, die through the three: The 2024-25 Celtics made and tried more 3 points than any team in NBA history. The deep ball was the key to many victories this season, but it was their downfall on Monday when they missed a playoff record of 45 three (15-opposite-60) and let the kinks back into play by continuing to shoot (and miss) from beyond the arch.

• “Iron Man” Ices the game: Mikal Bridges played 51 possible 53 minutes for the Knicks and had enough in the tank in the last seconds to tear away the ball of Jaylen Brown and win. Just another day in the life of the “Iron Man” of the NBA, which has not missed a game in the high school since his junior year.

What do we see? This is the first time in NBA history that three 60 -win -teams have lost their first game of the same playoff round. And when the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves this evening, it is the first time that all four road teams game 1 of the conference -semi -finals won.

Smart Money has Rodgers and the Steelers, who do something shortly before the Minicamp in June. When he retires the unthinkable and short -term retirement before the training camp begins, Pittsburgh still has a Kirk cousins ​​trade in his buttocks.

This is still a break-the-glass scenario that the Steelers don't really believe that it will happen. Instead, the franchise telegraphs a signing of Rodgers at every turn. Maybe the signing will come in days or weeks. Maybe it will come in July. Whenever it happens, it comes.

A rare event: When Rodgers signs the Steelers, he will join Russell Wilson as the only QBS in NFL history that plays for a team that they previously beat in the Super Bowl. Wilson's Seahawks demolished the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII (2014) before Seattle exchanged him against Denver in 2022.
