Game changed with They put that rookie Bryant on Brunson and he took him to school and got him angry. He found his rhythm feasting on him.
The fatigue factor on Wemby rendered him less effective and he made some bad decisions.

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........

For those keeping score at home: The Knicks have already won as many games in the Finals as they did in the entire 1999 Finals.

And it’s a miracle they won that game.

This team has all the players contributing and breaking the opponents game plans. Next game Decue or Jordan Clarkson is going to explode and shatter the SA defensive plans next game. Clarkson hasn't left his mark yet this playoff but he is due. He will come in for a short stint as the coach always gives him some run just Incase he gets hot and we know if he gets hot he can score quickly. If not him Deuce ! Second unit needs to blow open the score in their shifts. It will happen. Who knows Maybe MO gets deployed for meaningful minutes. I love this team !!!

This team is so locked in I fully expect them to do what they've been doing all playoffs and steal the next one too. 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.

The difference is teamwork and chemistry. Spurs have some amazing talent but it seems all indivualized on offense AND (surprisingly) on defense.

On the other hand we’re definitely in the realm of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts

I am a little bit worried about SA smartening up and not putting Wemby on KAT. That 3rd Q was brutal when they let him start roaming off Hart. I think we scored like 5 points in the first 8 minutes of the 3rd Q. Absolutely stifling defense. Hart has gotta be ready to shoot and make next game, like he did in game 2 against CLE. They are gonna completely ignore him, I think we can bank on that being their adjustment.

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

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

Wemby's defense is scary, but SA has to watch his gas tank and rest him during the game

We just need to continue capitalizing on those stretches when Wemby is sitting and we should be fine

If we start building leads with Wemby on the floor then they are well and truly fcked

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.

Knicks fans traveled well to San Antonio and the hometown faithful didn’t love it. During the Knicks’ exhilarating 105-95 Game 1 victory, fans of the orange and blue were recorded taking over the concourse at Frost Bank Center. In a video making the rounds on social media, two Spurs fans went eye-to-eye with a Knicks fan wearing his blue Knicks cap, a Knicks No. 8 jersey and a platinum chain, which was ripped off his neck.
