Different time slot, same energy, and that finish was rough for my adopted Spurs.

Do you see last night as a comeback or a collapse?

Collapse. Mitch Johnson froze with timeouts and rode Wimby into the ground with a 20 point cushion, Fox’s late layup and turnover were bad, but the Brunson double looked like it came from the bench.

The star owned the moment least: after chirping he went three for fourteen, looked gassed, and missed key free throws, and the flagrant at up 29 marked the momentum turn.

Should Wimby have gotten more rest?

Yes, the rotation was mismanaged, but those free throw misses were pressure more than legs, and his game still needs conditioning, strength, and one reliable get-us-a-bucket move when it’s hemorrhaging.

Did you think the Knicks were alive at any point?

The first half felt hijacked by whistle talk, then San Antonio fired quick threes and coughed it up, and once the 29 shrank to the teens on that 13 to 0 burst, I thought New York had a real pulse.

The fourth was steady: Alvarado sparked it, Towns and OG kept landing shots, Brunson’s quick look pulled Wimby out and set up the putback, and OG’s tip felt like the play of the decade with Bridges benched, Towns in foul rhythm, and Hart missing a layup yet they still closed.

Finals MVP right now—OG or Brunson?

Brunson’s the engine and rightful favorite, but without either him or OG they’re done, and OG just authored a block-and-tip sequence worthy of a shared statue outside the Garden.

How do you see the Spurs’ last play after the tip in?

Wimby was a decoy, Castle shook free, and Towns barely nicked a short pass to deny a point-blank catch while a late clock nearly made it worse; every tiny bounce leaned New York’s way.

Could this loss stick to the Spurs beyond this series?

Only a title really scrubs it; collapses like this can reshape how the room views the coach, Fox’s judgment, and the star’s late-game belief, and the flagrant points could even matter if this stretches.

Game Five preview and World Cup talk land tomorrow; new drop times during the tournament, so subscribe and we’ll see you then.
