In this week’s episode of Slate’s sports podcast Hang Up and Listen, Stefan Fatsis, Josh Levin, and Mike Pesca talk about Heat-Celtics, Spurs-Thunder, and the players’ complaints about NBA refereeing. They also discuss the Los Angeles Kings’ 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals with Puck Daddy’s Greg Wyshynski. Finally, they dissect Johan Santana’s no-hitter, which ended the New York Mets’ 50-year streak without a no-hit game.
