iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
About this episode

Jason Timpf reacts to Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and the Phoenix Suns' 122-101 win over Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jason breaks down film to show how the Phoenix offense has evolved this season to the point where he now views them as the biggest threat to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference. Later, Jason discusses how the San Antonio Spurs should build around Victor Wembanyama and the news that New York Knicks' forward Julius Randle will miss the rest of the NBA season. Does this completely eliminate New York from contention? #volume #herd
