On Episode 54 of The New Twenty Four, Gavriel Wilkins and Torrence Stagger open up things by addressing the on-court evolution of LaMelo Ball and the surging Charlotte Hornets.

The guys then break down the overtime thriller between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons, where Jalen Duren delivered a dominant interior performance in a statement win for The Bad Boys.
