They discuss Angel Reese's growing comfort in Atlanta, the Washington Mystics’ impressive road wins over the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, and even bring back the Panic Meter to check in on the Liberty, Golden State Valkyries, and Indiana Fever.

We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones put a bow on the NBA Finals!

The New York Knicks, for the first time in 53 years, have won an NBA championship. The guys salute their journey, then give props to the San Antonio Spurs for their impressive year-one run.

From there, the guys shift to the W as the Commissioner's Cup group play is nearing its end. They discuss the Las Vegas Aces' big win over the Minnesota Lynx to put them in the driver's seat out West, then salute the still-streaking New York Liberty for clinching a spot in the title game.

Finally, they close with a mini-check in on the Los Angeles Sparks. Kelsey Plum is playing at an MVP level, and the defense is quietly making some strides. They've won their last three games; it might be time to keep a closer eye on them.
