According to ESPN Analytics, in the 4 games the Spurs lost in the NBA Finals, they had a...
— 91.6% chance of winning Game 1 up 13 points midway thru the 3rd
— 72.8% chance of winning Game 2 up 2 points with 1 minute left in the 4th
— 99.6% chance of winning Game 4 up 20 points with 9:33 left in the 4th
— 95.4% chance of winning Game 5 up 10 points with 7:54 left in the 4th
Told ya.
The NBA's Last 2 Minute Report confirms the out of bounds whistle on Stephon Castle was INCORRECT.
In addition, NBA writer @TomerAzarly received confirmation from the league that Josh Hart should have been whistled for a foul on the Castle drive.
Down 105-104 with 1:02 remaining, the Spurs were already in the bonus and the correct call would have given Castle a golden opportunity to take the lead with two massive free throws.
Fox had 44 touches in the second half, the most of any Spur. Only 5 touched the paint. San Antonio scored 0.387 points per chance out of his touches. He shot 2-of-6 w/ 2 turnovers when defended by OG.
No one for the Spurs attempted more than six shots against any match-up.
Out of bounds? 🤷🏻
Stephon Castle appeared far more surprised given what looked like a pretty noticeable shove that went uncalled.
Maybe another camera angle clears it up later.
For now, this feels incorrect.

In one 10 second clip Alvarado gave Wemby a two handed push, tried to trip him, tried to hook his leg, tried to fall back into him, then finished with a single leg takedown
