What’s cooler than being cool?

The GIST: Who needs The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives when you have “The Book of Postseason Men’s Sports” brimming with drama. Let’s dig in.

🏀 Indiana Pacers push NY Knicks to the brink of elimination: Indy’s Tyrese Haliburton was exceptional in last night’s 130–121 Game 4 win, becoming the first player in NBA history to record at least 30 points, 15 assists, and zero turnovers in the playoffs — and he did it all in front of his pops. Now up 3-1, the Pacers can punch their first NBA Finals ticket since 2000 tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET.

• Meanwhile, tonight’s 8:30 p.m. ET Game 5 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves could send OKC (up 3-1) to its first Finals since 2012 — especially if freshly-crowned league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has anything to say about it.

🏒 A pair of empty-net goals seal Game 4, 3-1 lead for Edmonton Oilers: There’s no place like home for the Oilers, who beat the Dallas Stars 4–1 last night. Edmonton’s first opportunity to clinch the Western Conference title (and their second straight Stanley Cup Finals berth) comes in Dallas tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET, but Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner has struggled on the road in the playoffs.

• Fifteen tries and 19 years later, the Carolina Hurricanes finally won a conference finals game with Monday’s 3–0 Game 4 blanking of the Florida Panthers. Is the win a sign of changing winds, or will the Cats (up 3-1) close it out in Carolina? Find out tonight at 8 p.m. ET.

The GIST: The Minnesota Frost remain the only team to hoist the Walter Cup after defeating the Ottawa Charge 2–1 in overtime (OT) during Monday’s PWHL Finals Game 4, clinching the title for the second straight year. Ice cold.

• With another successful campaign in the books, here’s a look at the PWHL’s sophomore season by the numbers, featuring everything from postseason highlights to future-looking fun.

1: Ottawa rookie goaltender Gwyneth Philips needed just one season to win the Ilana Kloss playoff MVP Trophy. Though the Charge came up short in the ’ship, Philips made 257 saves in the postseason, allowing just 13 goals in eight games. No beginner’s luck here.

2: Not only are the Frost two-time defending champs — forward (and homegrown Minnesota legend) Liz Schepers made individual history, scoring the title-clinching goals last year and this year.

4: All four Finals games between the Frost and Charge went to OT (not to mention triple OT in Game 3) and ended in a 2–1 score, with Ottawa taking Game 1 before Minnesota rattled off three straight wins. Exhausted just thinking about it.

8: Two expansion teams — Vancouver and Seattle — will join the fold next season, bringing the total number of PWHL teams to eight and expanding the league’s footprint to the West Coast.

12: And on that note, there are just 12 days until the first-ever PWHL Expansion Draft on June 9th, but first, the league’s original six squads will reveal their three-member protected player lists on June 3rd. Stay tuned.

🎾 Grand Slam Tennis: French Open — Ongoing — TSN

• No. 27 Félix Auger-Aliassime and No. 27 Leylah Annie Fernandez waved au revoir earlier than expected after first-round losses, but three Canucks are still in the mix — teen phenom No. 120 Victoria Mboko, No. 31 Denis Shapovalov, and No. 54 Gabriel Diallo.

🏀 WNBA: Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics — Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET — WNBA League Pass

• Fever star Caitlin Clark is sidelined with a quad strain, but there’s still plenty of star power in this matchup, including Ontario’s own, the Mystics’ Aaliyah Edwards. The Kingston product made her season debut on Sunday, and it’s only up from there.

⚾ MLB: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers — Tonight at 8:05 p.m. ET — Sportsnet

• If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that the Jays are consistently inconsistent. No wonder their three-game set against the equally volatile Rangers is headed to a series-deciding rubber match.
