That's not a comeback, that's a heist."},{"host":"Liam","text":"They stole it! And LeBron, in game two in Philly, is already at the center of it.

A dressing room that can joke about the biggest story in football? That's healthy. Meanwhile, the Bears are up on New England, Drake Maye just threw a dart. Back with more."}]}
