NBA Opening Weekend + 2026 WNBA Finals Game 5 Takeaways
Shownotes
We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!
On the NBA side, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones bounce around the league with thoughts and observations from the opening weekend of action. Salutes are in order for the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers (and the Wolves & Pistons); a check-in is warranted for the winless Miami Heat.
On the WNBA side, the guys react to back-to-back victories from the Golden State Valkyries (67-62, 64-55) to take a 3-2 series lead, then look ahead to potential adjustments we may see in Game 6.
