Notes re: OKC v. Houston last night:
1. OKC picked Sengun in 2021 then traded him to Houston for two future picks. Presti is a genius, but sometimes things go awry in the lab.
2. Feb 27, 2016 deja vu for KD. Then, Curry hit the winning basket as GSW beat OKC. Last night, it was Shai FTW.

Thank you to Victor Suthammanont, writer and attorney, for discussing his first novel, Hollow Spaces, on this Touro L Rev podcast. The novel explores race and racism, the legal system and the search for truth, and, more than anything else, the bonds of family.
