- Golden State mercifully ended their series with Dallas by cruising to a win in Game 5 of their best-of-7 series.
- There were three blanks on the night. One came from a familiar non-pick from Colin while the other two may have played a part in ending the Challenge in the Conference Finals. Both Trevor and Al blanked with Golden State's Damion Lee and Dallas' Josh Green respectively as neither man even got a shot off in their two minutes of playing time.
- Nemanja Bjelica got more playing time in Game 5 than he had the previous four games combined to net Ryan 14 PRA. It was the Serbian's best output of the postseason in the first Pick One selection of his career.
- Matt used his last serviceable Maverick in Frank Ntilikina. While it will be hard not to hear every eighteen seconds how much of a great defender he is from the commentary team, his 10 PRA games in the Pick One won't be missed.
- That means that Lou took home the night's top score with the fifth picked out Dallas player of the playoffs, Dorian Finney-Smith. It was the second top score of the round (19 PRA) for Dallas' metaphorical Swiss Army knife.
- Lou was also the only person that could have had either bench bargain, Spencer Dinwiddie (30 PRA) or Moses Moody (14 RBPRA). However, he was not eligible for the optimal scorer Klay Thompson who felt like he nonchalantly coasted to 37 PRA.
