- “How does a team with 19 first-half turnovers still manage to win a playoff game on the road?”That’s the question that kicks off this electric episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle, where Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into one of the most improbable NBA Finals comebacks in recent memory—and somehow still find time to track a rogue zebra on the loose in Tennessee.From Tyrese Haliburton’s cold-blooded game-winner to Rick Carlisle’s evolution from control freak to free-flowing genius, the crew breaks down every twist and turn of Indiana’s wild win over Oklahoma City. Skin passionately declares, “This team does not give up,” while KT confesses he missed the shot because he “was convinced it wasn’t going to be close.” Oops.Meanwhile, Ben shares how the airport “erupted” after the buzzer-beater, and the gang debates whether this Pacers run is a one-time miracle or the start of something bigger. There’s even a hilarious detour into why Lou Dort is just too physical and SGA might be a free throw hunter—and yes, Skin is officially on the Pacers bandwagon.And just when you think it’s all basketball, the show pivots to the mystery of the Murfreesboro zebra, with KT calling city hall to get answers. Because of course he did.Memorable Moments:“Don’t you sleep on the Indiana Pacers… they’ve got the juice.”
- “Rick Carlisle used to call every play. Now he’s just like, ‘Go do it, Tyrese.’”
