Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers are headed to the NBA Finals after beating the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals. Haliburton averaged 21 points, 10 assists and six rebounds in the series and played well enough to assume he was going to be named series MVP. It was the second straight season where the Knicks were eliminated by the Pacers and if you're a New Yorker, you kind of just have to tip your hat to Haliburton and his teammates at this point.

The New York Mets experienced the best of both worlds on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. First, they got to witness a moonshot home run from Shohei Ohtani and then they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-3, in 10 innings. The Mets were up 2-0 when Ohtani walked to the plate in the bottom of the seventh, said hello to the umpire and then goodbye to the baseball as he hit his 23rd home run of the season. A ball that was absolutely crushed.
