Aaron Judge is on a mission. He leads Major League Baseball with a .412 batting average, 15 home runs, and 41 runs batted in. On May 14, he crushed a 444 foot home run with an exit velocity of 117.7 miles per hour. Right now, he is producing more than Juan Soto and leading the Yankees by example. Ben Rice added to the momentum with his first career grand slam. The Baby Bombers are not just filling a lineup. They are helping the Yankees win games.

Meanwhile, the Knicks are rolling. They beat the Celtics 121 to 113 in Game Four and now lead the series three games to one. Jalen Brunson scored 39 points and handed out 12 assists. He took over in the fourth quarter and once again proved he is the face of New York basketball. Jayson Tatum had 42 points before leaving the game with a torn Achilles. His season is over. Jaylen Brown has averaged 20.5 points in the series but has not been efficient. Boston is struggling to adjust. The Knicks are more physical, more focused, and more confident.
