Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren was among the 15 names listed on an All-NBA Team. He just barely made the cusp, receiving exactly the 15th-most votes at 87.

The lanky challenger at the rim is also coming off an NBA All-Star and All-Defensive First Team appearance for the first time in his career.

He’s on the chase for a second-straight NBA championship against the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, tied at two games each. Holmgren became only the fourth Zag to win an NBA title last summer (Los Angeles Lakers’ Adam Morrison in 2009 and 2010, Miami Heat’s Ronny Turiaf in 2012, and San Antonio Spurs’ Austin Daye in 2014).

Through 69 starts for the Thunder, the 7-1 talent averaged 17.1 points on a shooting split of 55.7 percent from the field, 36.2 percent on three-pointers, and 79.2 percent at the charity stripe. His 8.9 rebounds per game rank tied for No. 11 in the NBA, while his 1.9 blocks per game are tied for No. 2. Most importantly, the world’s up-and-coming basketball star listed a defensive rating of 104.1.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers guard Dennis Schroder missed Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks on Monday night because of an illness.

Schroder is averaging 3.3 points and 15 minutes in the first three games of the series. The 13-year veteran was acquired from the Sacramento Kings on Feb. 1.

Schroder is averaging 5.5 points during the playoffs. He had 19 points, including three 3-pointers, in Cleveland's 125-120 victory over Toronto on April 29 in a first-round game.

Knicks superfan Fat Joe may have to sit “All The Way Up” in the stands at Rocket Arena after the rapper said the Cavaliers “took the tickets away” he purchased to sit courtside for Game 4. 

Fat Joe appeared on ESPN’s “NBA Today” live in Cleveland when he said, unprompted, that the Cavs took the tickets from him because they didn’t want Knicks fans sitting that close.

“We had bought some courtside tickets to the game and once they found out it was superfan Fat Joe, they was like, I can’t sit courtside. New York Knick fans can’t sit courtside,” he said on the program. “They took the tickets away courtside after we purchased it, so shame on you all.” 

In fact, Fat Joe wasn’t the only Knicks fan that semeed to have their tickets revoked.

At least 10 other Knicks fans with courtside seats had been called by a Cavaliers executive and told they no longer had seats, a league source told The Post.

After those fans were informed they no longer had courtside seats, the Cavs did relocate them to a higher section inside the arena for Game 4.

In a post on social media, podcast host and entrepreneur Jason Calacanis claimed that the Cavaliers had “blocked me from buying” seats courtside.

He also said that Cavs owner Dan Gilbert had ticketholders with courtside seats sign a DocuSign that they would not resell their tickets or they “would face a lifetime ban” by the team. 

The Cavaliers did provide their side of the story when reached about the situation with Fat Joe.

“Playoff courtside seating is governed by a specific agreement that prohibits the resale or transfer of tickets without approval,” a Cavaliers spokesperson told The Post. “All courtside ticket holders are required to comply with the terms of the single-game playoff agreement.”

While not courtside, a number of Knicks celeb fans were on hand for Game 4.

Spike Lee and Timothée Chalamet posted on social media from Cleveland hours ahead of the game and Fat Joe was seen inside the arena.

Pop icon Taylor Swift and her fiancé, and Cleveland native, Travis Kelce, sat courtside during Game 3.  

Teams have tried to keep Knicks fans out of their arenas during the postseason, with the Sixers notably attempting to prevent visiting supporters from invading the City of Brotherly Love by limiting ticket sales to those who lived in the greater Philadelphia area.

The attempt fell flat as Knicks fans took over Xfinity Mobile Arena during the two games in Philly. 

Those games also included appearances by Lee, Chalamet, Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan. 

Fat Joe, a Bronx native, has a longstanding history of Knicks fandom and has been at Madison Square Garden plenty during the course of the team’s playoff run this season. 

During his appearance on ESPN, he told the panel the reason he went to Cleveland was “so we can be done tonight.” 

The Knicks are on the verge of their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to avoid being swept off their home floor.

Go Cavs!

The Knicks return to Rocket Arena tonight, leading the Eastern Conference Finals 3-0 over the exhausted Cavaliers. After building up (and blowing) a 22-point lead in Game One, Cleveland has been overwhelmed by New York’s pace, physicality, and depth of talent. Kenny Atkinson insists that his Cavs are winning analytically, but that’s the irrational talk of a desperate man. No team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a seven-game series, and, given New York’s 10-game murder streak, Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, et al., are unlikely to be the first.

Tip off is at 8 PM EST on ESPN. This is your game thread. This is Fear the Sword. Please don’t post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams in the thread. Be cool to each other, don’t injure yourselves with those black market confetti cannons, and go Knicks!

In just a short while, the Knicks will begin playing in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, needing just one more win to send the team to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. It has been a postseason to remember, as the Knicks are currently rocking a ten-game winning streak—making them just the tenth team in history to win ten straight games in a single postseason. And not only have they won, but they have largely dominated, as they have an NBA-record +234 point differential across their first thirteen playoff games.

Making the Finals would be a remarkable vindication for so many different individuals. For Leon Rose, who went from being a player agent with CAA to serving as the president for the Knicks and making a series of shrewd moves which positioned the franchise as perennial contenders. For Mike Brown, who has handled several ups and downs in his first season as the team’s head coach only to have them on the brink of history. And perhaps above all else, for Jalen Brunson, who has continuously been the recipient of skepticism over the ability of a small point guard to be the primary option for a legitimate championship contender. While the team is in this position because of the contributions of several players—from the starters to the bench players—Brunson has unquestionably been the face of the franchise since signing with the team in 2022, and leading them to the Finals would further cement his place on the Mount Rushmore of all-time greats in Knicks history.

Making the Finals would not be the end of the road, of course. The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs are currently locked in a 2-2 tie in the Western Conference Finals, and whichever team comes out on top would face the Knicks for the rights to raise the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Either squad would be a fearsome opponent, as the Thunder are the reigning champions and the Spurs have the best player on the planet in the form of the 7’4” Victor Wembanyama. The Knicks will likely be seen as underdogs regardless of which team they face off against, and given the team’s lengthy history of disappointment and heartbreak, fans could certainly be forgiven for expecting the other shoe to drop at any moment.

Still, the way they have been playing, it’s tough to count the Knicks out against anybody. Fans have every right to believe that this could finally be the year. And either way, to go from the perennial losers that the Knicks were for most of this century to being just one win away from the Finals is an accomplishment that should not go overlooked. If and when they do finally finish the Cavaliers off and cement their title as Eastern Conference champions, it will be an emotional moment of jubilation—not just for the players and coaches and front office members, but for the entire city of New York.

Just one more win to make it to the final dance. Tune into ESPN at 8:00 to see if they can make it happen. Let’s go Knicks.

…oh, the Mets lost to the Reds today, by the way. Nolan McLean got the absolute crap kicked out of him for the second straight start. He gave up seven runs in just 3.2 innings of work. The bullpen trio of Austin Warren, Jonathan Pintaro, and Tobias Myers combined for 5.1 scoreless innings, but the bats couldn’t get the team back into the game against Nick Lodolo and the rest of the Reds pitching staff. Cleanup hitter Marcus Semien(?) hit a solo homer against Lodolo in the sixth and they also scratched out a run in the seventh and that was about it. The Mets have now lost four straight.

CLEVELAND — Josh Hart, in his trademark style, started with a joke when formulating his thoughts.

What was his immediate reaction when owner James Dolan mandated the Knicks reach the Finals this year?

“We better get to the Finals,” Hart said after Knicks shootaround Monday morning ahead of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, “or we’re gonna get traded.”

The comment was tongue in cheek, but there is no doubt that there was significant pressure on the Knicks to win the East this year.

That expectation was set when Tom Thibodeau was fired despite reaching the conference finals. It was solidified in January when Dolan said that “getting to the Finals, we absolutely got to do.”

Monday morning, the Knicks were preparing to fulfill that mandate.

“We all had that aspiration regardless, so we didn’t really need to hear that because we all wanted that moment, we all wanted to see that, especially after last year being in the Eastern Conference finals and coming up short,” Karl-Anthony Towns said. “We understand that we’ve gotta take that next step. So what he’s talking about is also how we all felt.

“We wanted to go out there and we wanted to take that next step. Get past the Eastern Conference finals. It was historical last year, the city went crazy and it was awesome to see the city so alive but there’s new standards now, there’s new expectations and we’ve raised the expectations so we knew what we came into this season to do and what we want to accomplish and we’ve just gotta keep our head down and continue to focus on the goal at hand.”

Hart echoed a similar sentiment — that Dolan wasn’t putting any more pressure on the team than they were already putting on themselves.

“Not pressure because I think that’s the goal that we all kind of have,” Hart said. “Obviously, it hits a little bit different when the big dog says it. But that’s the goal that each and every one of us has. And we’re our own biggest critics, so this kind of adds a little bit more fuel to that internal fire of the hunger to get there.”

It is also notable when Dolan delivered that mandate.

It’s hard to remember with how the Knicks have played in the playoffs, but there was a point in the regular season where they were spiraling. Dolan’s comments — breaking a two-year media silence — came Jan. 5, just a few hours before the Knicks were punked by the Pistons in concerning fashion. It was in the middle of a stretch in which the Knicks lost nine of 11 games.

At the time, they looked far from a Finals team.

“The regular season is full of peaks and valleys and ebbs and flows, that’s how a regular season goes,” Towns said. “And you kind of expect a run like that to happen at a certain part of the season. It was just the most inopportune time, especially when things weren’t looking great and New York fans, rightfully so, are not the most patient. So we understood that.

“Tough stretch for us but it also helped us grow and be more unified and understand that if we continue to believe in each other, we continue to lean on each other, we can get out of any situation regardless of it’s a 2-9 run in the season or it’s a 22-point deficit in Game 1. As long as we continue to believe in the goal and continue to lean on each other, we’ll be fine.”

Happy Memorial Day! Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals is tonight between the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Watch it on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET. The Knicks lead the series 3-0 and will win their first Eastern Conference championship since 1999 if they win tonight. Enjoy the game everyone!

CLEVELAND — It’s an orange and blue wave.

Riled-up Knicks fans have taken over Cleveland on the eve of Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers on Monday — taking advantage of bargain-rate ticket prices in the Ohio city.

Thousands of Big Apple hoops faithful flocked to Rocket Arena for a chance to watch the Knicks sweep the Cavs and earn their first trip to the finals in 27 years — and a shot at the first championship in 53 years.

“It’s insane. We weren’t even planning on staying,” said diehard fan Monica Martinez, who told The Post she drove for six hours to get to Cleveland. “We extended our trip. I waited 25 years for this, so we are going to do it all and do it up.”

Many wallet-conscious New Yorkers said they made the trip to Cleveland since they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to see their favorite team play at Madison Square Garden, where tickets cost hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Most paid between just $150 and $200 to get into Rocket Arena.

Forest Hills resident Vernon Balanza said he copped tickets to Game 3 on Saturday for just $137 — a far cry from the arm-and-a-leg cost to get into the Garden for a playoff game.

“It’s just too expensive,” Balanza said of the World’s Most Famous Arena in Manhattan. “The cheapest ticket is like $500, $600. Even then, I can’t get myself to pay for that.”

Brooklyn native Archer Batravil, who now calls Miami home, made the trip from the Sunshine State.

“It means the world to me as a born and bred New Yorker, living and dying with every shot,” he said. “It’s been [27] years since 1999. I’m ready for the revenge game against the Spurs.”

The San Antonio Spurs, who beat the Knicks in the 1999 NBA Finals, are currently dueling with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.

Even former Knick Stephon Marbury got into the action. A clip posted on X captured the former hoopster rallying passengers on a flight to Cleveland for the game.

“After the game, not before the game, we going crazy,” he said. “Go New York, go New York go!”

Kyle Kuzma is getting into politics.

Sort of.

Posting to social media Monday afternoon, the former Laker placed a $36,000 bet on Spencer Pratt to become the next mayor of Los Angeles. The payout would be a whopping $133,588.89.

For my parlay papis I’m going big on @spencerprattpic.twitter.com/pjWCL5X4ow

— kuz (@kylekuzma) May 25, 2026

Besides posting the bet, Kuzma spoke about the overall state of Los Angeles by responding to someone on X with, “LA has been cooked since Covid what am I missing lol.”

Kuzma is no stranger to Los Angeles, having been acquired by the Lakers in a draft-day trade with the Brooklyn Nets after they chose him with the 27th overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft.

He played four seasons with the Lakers, but it were his first two seasons that left the biggest impressions.

He averaged 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game as a rookie, being named to the all-rookie first team. He followed that up with an even better second season, averaging 18.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists as he became a full-time starter and played in 70 games (68 starts).

However, his production dipped the following two seasons when he averaged 12.9 points per game. But he was a key rotation player during that time, helping the LeBron James and Anthony Davis win the 2020 NBA championship.

He was later traded to the Washington Wizards in 2021, before then being rerouted to the Milwaukee Bucks in 2025.

After losing his home in the devastating Pacific Palisades fire a few years ago, Pratt, the former reality TV star from ‘The Hills’, has made a strong push in his candidacy to be Los Angeles’ next mayor.

The Lakers hired former New Orleans Pelicans executive Rohan Ramadas to fill one of two new assistant general manager roles, The Times confirmed Monday.

Ramadas previously worked as the vice president of basketball operations and strategy for the Pelicans and will be involved in managing the salary cap, analytics and data for the Lakers, who are retooling their front office and basketball operations under new ownership this summer. Speaking at an end-of-season newsconference, GM Rob Pelinka said the Lakers will hire two new assistant general managers, with the other position focusing on pro scouting, draft scouting and player development.

Ramadas, who received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in astronautical engineering from USC, worked at El Segundo-based The Aerospace Corporation for 12 years before jumping to the NBA full-time in 2024.

The hire is the first significant move of what is shaping up to be a consequential offseason for the Lakers both on and off the court. In addition to high-profile contract decisions regarding stars LeBron James and Austin Reaves, the Lakers are re-tooling the front office and business operations eight months after Dodgers owner Mark Walter officially took over in a historic $10-billion sale.

The Lakers were already interviewing assistant general managers when the season ended in the Western Conference semifinals in a four-game sweep by the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Lakers are adding labs for biomechanics, movement and recovery in their El Segundo training facility after moving the G League affiliate South Bay Lakers to the Coachella Valley. The infrastructure improvements are coming through consultation with the Dodgers, who Pelinka called a “brother-sister organization” for the Lakers.

This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

An ACL tear robbed the world of “Playoff Jimmy” this spring. Instead, music fans at BottleRock in Napa did get a taste of “Festival Jimmy.”

The Golden State Warriors’ injured star looked spry as he joined Teddy Swims on the Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage at Bottlerock in Napa. He threw peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the crowd, seemingly because it was the Culinary Stage, professed his love for the Bay Area, and even danced to Shaboozey while telling the crowd, “Don’t tell Steve [Kerr]! I got a torn ACL!”

Still, the highlight came when Butler sang a verse of “A Thousand Miles,” the Vanessa Carlton classic that Terry Crews sings in the acclaimed film, “White Chicks.” Butler claimed he’d wanted to sing it since high school, but people didn’t like his voice. That didn’t stop Butler from singing Hootie and the Blowfish in a Michelob Ultra commercial.

He also sang Hall & Oates for Michelob in a commercial that saw him packing for the NBA’s Covid-19 bubble. It’s hard to tell in the low-resolution video, the only one we could find, but it implies that one of the items Butler packed in his single suitcase was his own Miami Heat No. 22 shirsey. Perhaps that was the work uniform for his Big Face Coffee pop-up?

Butler’s musical taste is very eclectic. He discovered country music while a student at Marquette and claims to have written over 60 country songs for a future album, which he envisions taking a “DJ Khaled” role in bringing in multiple other artists. Butler is good friend with Mark Wahlberg, though it’s unclear if that extends to a love for the music of the Funky Bunch.

He’s also not afraid to use music as a weapon. After his Miami Heat dropped a game in overtime in 2023, Butler blasted Nickelback in the locker room, turning the volume way up so Chad Kroeger’s lyrics and voice could punish his teammates for letting him down. Look, it’s possible that Butler’s a fan of the post-grunge Canadian rockers, but it seems more likely that anyone forcing an NBA team to listen to Nickelback is doing it at best as a joke and at worst as malicious ear torture.

It apparently worked, as the 2023 Heat went from the play-in tournament to the NBA Finals, possibly out of fear of a “How You Remind Me” reprise.

Clearly, Butler isn’t letting his rehab bring him down. Just don’t tell his coach about all the dancing.

With the series evened up and now a best-of-three, the Oklahoma City Thunder head home for a pivotal Game 5—but their biggest strength is suddenly under scrutiny.

Injuries to key guards combined with inconsistent play from their stars have thinned OKC’s depth, opening the door for San Antonio’s defense to capitalize.

My Spurs vs. Thunder predictions have this one shaping up much tighter than the last few games, and my NBA picks are grabbing the points with the visiting Spurs on Tuesday, May 26.

Spurs vs Thunder Game 5 prediction tonight

Who will win Spurs vs Thunder Game 5?

Spurs: Depending on the injury status of OKC’s backcourt – Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell are questionable – this could be San Antonio’s game to steal on the road. Without those guards, the Thunder’s offense is disjointed with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stuck between being a facilitator and scorer.

Oklahoma City will shoot better at home, but San Antonio is doing a great job neutralizing OKC’s other threats. I see this one being closer than oddsmakers expect and the Spurs have a shot at winning outright.

Spurs vs Thunder best bet: Spurs +5.5 (-110)

Injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell have thrown a wrench in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s offense.

Without those guards, OKC lacks reliable ball handlers. That forces Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to play true point guard rather than off the ball, where he’s most dangerous.

The San Antonio Spurs are keeping SGA guessing with pressure but not fully committing to double teams. Gilgeous-Alexander hasn’t been able to get into a rhythm, shooting a collective 12-for-32 the past two games.

The rest of the Thunder’s starters aren’t picking up the slack. Meanwhile, the Spurs are getting great contributions from their starting five.

COVERS INTEL: San Antonio’s starting five has outscored Oklahoma City’s starters by an average of 31.7 points in the WCF. The Thunder’s bench posted a collective -9.4 in Game 4 after averaging a league-high +6.3 in the postseason.

Spurs vs Thunder Game 5 same-game parlay

Stephon Castle is back in his regular spot with the Spurs’ point guards healthy. Castle has been active on the glass in this series, pulling down five or more boards in each of the first three games.

He had three rebounds on 12 rebounding chances in Game 4, and projections sit as high as six rebounds in OKC on Tuesday.

Victor Wembanyama was much more aggressive on offense in Game 4, specifically from outside. He knocked down 3 of 7 attempts from distance and has made at least two triples in three of the first four games.

San Antonio is being conservative with Wemby on defense — limiting his amount of running around on close outs — in order to save his legs on the offensive end.

Game script says the Spurs are fighting from behind, needing big shots from their big man. Forecasts call for two 3-point makes from Wembanyama.

Spurs vs Thunder SGP

• Spurs +5.5
• Stephon Castle Over 4.5 rebounds
• Victor Wembanyama Over 1.5 threes

Our "from downtown" SGP: Spur of the moment

If San Antonio is going to steal another game in OKC, Wembanyama will be at the heart of that upset. He was much quieter on the boards the past two contests but with the Spurs’ defensive schemes trying to keep him in the paint, he’ll be in prime position for blocks and rebounds in Game 5.

• Victor Wembanyama Over 3.5 blocks

The New York Knicks are in the driver's seat and have a chance to put the Cleveland Cavaliers out to pasture with a four-game sweep in the Eastern Conference finals tonight.

Our Knicks vs. Cavaliers same-game parlay expects that to come to fruition, with Mikal Bridges stepping up to show New York's superior depth.

It's all part of our Knicks vs. Cavaliers predictions and NBA picks for Monday, May 25.

Our best Knicks vs Cavaliers SGP for Game 4

SGP leg #1: Knicks -2

All members of the New York Knicks' starting five are averaging 14-plus points per game, showing how the team's depth is vastly superior to what the Cleveland Cavaliers are throwing out there in this series.

Cleveland has struggled moving the ball, and New York has effectively isolated the Cavs' big-man duo of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Without them finding a groove, it's been up to Donovan Mitchell and James Harden to beat the Knicks, and they simply haven't been up to the task. 

SGP leg #2: Under 217

Game 1 saw 219 points, but that game required overtime. Game 2 went Under this number, and while Game 4 cleared it, the Cavs are exhausted and demoralized.

New York’s stifling defense has dominated this series, and I don’t expect many points from the struggling Cavs. I like this line at 217, but I’ll bet it down to 215.5.

SGP leg #3: Mikal Bridges Over 21.5 points + rebounds + assists

Jalen Brunson is the headliner, but the Knicks have thrived because of their bevy of depth options, including Mikal Bridges.

Bridges has averaged 26.1 PRA across his last eight games, clearing this combo line seven times. Cleveland’s lackluster defense won’t offer much resistance, particularly in transition as he scores and facilitates. I expected this line to be priced at 23.5, making it a solid value play
