Story

Ryan Saunders, the former Timberwolves Head Coach, had a chat with Dawn Mitchell, who is now an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets. They talked about winning an NBA championship without Ryan's dad, Flip Saunders. Even though Ryan works in Denver, he still loves Minnesota. The Wolves and the Nuggets are now facing each other in the Western Conference Semifinals, with the Wolves leading the series. This interview is a tribute to Ryan's father, Flip Saunders. The Atlanta Hawks surprisingly got the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. Analysts predict they will choose Alex Sarr as the top pick. The Nuggets were the top choice to win the NBA Finals, but the Timberwolves beat them in Game 7, advancing to the Western Conference finals. The Celtics are now the favorites to win the championship, with the Nuggets out of the competition. The Celtics have been strong contenders throughout the season, especially since the East was not very competitive. The Timberwolves and the Mavericks are also performing well in the playoffs. The odds suggest that the Celtics have a clear path to winning the championship. With the Nuggets eliminated, many believe Boston will be the ultimate winner of the NBA Finals.
