Overtime Drama, Lillard's 37-Foot Dagger Remind Us Why

Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including moments from last night's National Basketball Association and National Hockey League playoffs that serve as reminders as to why folks watch the games in the first place. In Portland, the Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard hit a 37-foot shot at the buzzer to eliminate Oklahoma City. Lillard waved goodbye to the Thunder after he hit the shot, capping a series long on verbal sparring. In hockey, meantime, the San Jose Sharks rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the third period, eliminating the defending Western Conference champion Vegas Golden Knights in overtime of a decisive Game 7. As former NBA Commissioner David Stern was fond of saying -- At the core of the business is the game. Also discussed is Major League Soccer's decision to expand to 30 franchises.
