I tuned into the game just before the game winning foul and free throws. Looks like I missed a good one.

It was a really fun series and game 6 with a bit of a meh ending, but Tony Brothers is gonna Tony Brothers.
The final cumulative score of the series: Mavericks 636, Thunder 636. I would be very happy for these two to face each other again next year and really develop a rivalry.
Also, it looks like the powers that be were able to get the Mavs Games and Stars Games a bit more staggered for the Conference Finals, which is nice personally. It's neat and all to have the option to be able to stream a 2nd game on a different device, but I haven't been nearly as engaged with the hockey side of things due to schedule overlap.

Both of your teams are now in the Western Conference Finals. That's exciting.
Also, Dallas is on a road to having both an NHL and NBA champion in the same season. I don't think that's ever happened.

And the Rangers are reigning World Series Champs!
Your move, Jerry.
