Brunson had a bad 3qtrs. Then a great 4th!

WE thought OG was going to be on Wemby?
Shamet was great. Yeah, the shots were clutch but the defense that lead to the tip and the ball off SAS was about the clincher.
Mikael was solid. Got to the line and played a quiet defense. Vassell never got going.
Over all it was the defense that made SAS look cold in the 4th. Wemby panicked. Started to dribble and knicks swarmed. Also he did the sinful thing jumping then deciding to pass. They tell you not to do that in middle school. Thats fatigue and panic. Knicks poise finished them.
Sas is a super talented squad with young legs. Not always apparent is the mind can get tired on young men. They played a very good game until the end.

In fact knicks chipped into their lead with Brunson on the bench and Deuce/Shamet doing well.
Knicks pulled Wemby out and Kat feasted near the rim. ON defense he made smart fouls. MItch was good enough, Gave us what we needed.
Credit Brown and the staff for great game plan.
Brunson gets the glory but KAT was the foundation. That play he sealed Wemby so Jalen got a clean look at the rim was a great call out by Jefferson and Leggs.

Knick fans have a lot to feel good about this morning........

And it’s a miracle they won that game.

Spurs are a different animal - which is why we won by 10 instead of 35. But I expect the Knicks to heat up the rest of the way like they did last series, after stealing a rust-laden game 1 after 9 days rest.

You may be right if our pattern holds true.

We win a closer game after the layoff and then
the fire is lit,
the gears are engaged,
the engine is humming and
the fat ladies are gyrating for the basketball gods the rest of the way

You know Scott Foster is a vindictive fooker. I wish Brunson hadn’t spoken his mind to him after the game. That makes me nervous, we already weren’t getting any calls

Ok, nevermind. This is what it was about

Chris Haynes: Sources: NBA is looking into two courtside fans who allegedly directed vulgar profane “flopping” remarks towards Knicks star Jalen Brunson late in Game 1 of Finals. Brunson met with official Scott Foster after the game to address the fans’ behavior to which the remarks continued.
