“So, when I came out the Garden, bro my hotel was to the left and I looked to the right and the big a** mob was right there. And I was just like, man, I’m one with the people. So, I’m like man, let’s see what this about. As I’m walking over there, the closer I get, I keep realizing like everybody’s noticing that I’m coming over there or whatever. So, as every step I take it’s getting louder. It’s getting louder. I’m sitting there like, as I get closer, I’m like, “Yeah this probably not as good, bro. No bullsh*t dog.” It was, as I’m think that sh*t somebody 20 feet in front of me fall. And then that sh*t was a domino effect.”

“SGA, you’re a two-time MVP and you know more basketball I would ever know. The only reason that you’re not down 0-2 is because of what Hartenstein was able to do and keep Wemby off the glass and do all the things he was able to do. He gave you 10 points and he gave you valuable, valuable minutes because there a lot of times when you got Caruso or you got Dort on him, he was going over the back and getting the rebound and putting back in.”

In fact, Martin Truex Jr is the only repeat winner in the last 14 editions of the race.

“I see somebody in the room who, she can still fight, dude. And there's a lot of people that she can still beat, I guarantee you. You know, I think with the right match-ups and the right, you know, fair, you know, match-ups, that we can have some fun out there.

“I would love to see her have another camp and do a fun fight. Do I think she's going to do it? I would lean more to yes than no.”

Max Muncy got things started with a huge walk after a successful challenge at the plate.

Then Alex Call came in to pinch run and chaos followed immediately

Mason Miller tried a pickoff move that got away, allowing Alex Call to race all the way to 3rd base!

Then came the big moment...

Andy Pages battled Miller in an incredible at-bat and on the 9th pitch delivered the go-ahead sac fly! Alex Call was absolutely BUSTING down the line to score the run. What a team moment for LA!

Dodgers look to take the series tomorrow with Shohei Ohtani on the bump!

I don’t think this ends well for Ilia Topuria it’s a set up

""Nate thanked me. ... I said, 'Of course.' I was there to take care of him. That was a proper move."
