The Knicks won an NBA title by having nothing but College Basketball players, they had 3 guys who won a National Championship together and were led by a College NPOTY, who by the way has his Dad as an assistant coach (A College recruiting tactic).
College Basketball is back.
The Finals MVP conversations were fun while they lasted but if the Knicks are able to find a way to close this game out Brunson is now the obvious choice.
These next 6 minutes are as important as any the Spurs have played this year. Given their late game lack of offense they need to extend this lead back out to 12-14 points entering clutch time.
Not to say the Spurs aren’t able to get deep into the postseason without shooting great but having some good shooting variance at the right time of the season is huge.
The Knicks have a lot of great swing players on their bench. Not starting level guys but guys who do one or two things really well that can potentially swing a game. Very underrated part of their roster.
New York started slow as San Antonio adjusted more into the switching style defense but now that they’ve figured it out, they are scoring at will. Spurs need to just go back to their Games 1 and 2 defense.
