Congrats to the Knicks. Really showed their consistency and maturity. Spurs have a lot to look back on with how they had every opportunity to win it all but squandered it. But hey, they’re a young team, and barring injuries, they’ll have another shot for sure.

    Fox has literally contributed nothing in this closing minutes. Mitch doubling down on Fox bit him in the ass, and everyone but him could see it from a mile away.

    How do you miss that close out on Brunson’s three?

    Wemby is wearing giant clown shoes and he stepped right into the landing area.

    Absolutely reckless closeout by Wemby.

    Refs call a BS foul on KAT early 2nd half, not call a flagrant on Wemby, not call an eye poke foul by Castle. NBA has decided who wins this game. SMH.

    You know Wemby’s gassed when he starts chucking 3s. And doing that so early in the game isn’t a good sign. Especially with Kornet being sick, he’s definitely playing 40 mins tonight.

    Before this Spurs run, Fox has only ever played one playoff series and lost. People should stop saying he’s got veteran and playoff experience.

    I don't want to sound like a jerk, but every time they do a close up of Fox on the court he has this expression like it's the first time he's ever seen the world. Like Scott Bakula just quantum leaped into his body ten minutes before the game.

    I saw a stat that the Spurs have led 71% of the time in this series, and yet they’re down 3-1. Wild.

    OMGGGGGGGGG THAT'S BULL FOUL.... SCOTT FOSTER AT IT NOW. LOL

    They've been letting go MUGGINGS this game and he's gonna call a TOUCH foul EARLY in 2nd half on the MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER FOR KNICKS? Jesus.

    The refs absolutely tilted the game in San Antonio's favor, but the Knicks just had too much grit and determination.
