Let's assume, for argument's sake, that the Knicks really did, unlikely as it seems, win Game 4. The problem is that many, many, MANY of us simply cannot believe it. It seems for all the world like cheating. This matters, & is going to matter more.
Look, I’m sorry but I just can’t believe the Knicks came all the way back. And I bet a lot of my fellow basketball fans feel similarly. This calls into question the legitimacy of their Game Four win.

Can you imagine if, at the height of the NYC mayoral election, TV was just blanketed with California reporters making unhinged and uninformed claims about New York, for weeks straight? Yet, here we are.

They met on a tropical beach while both working the president's vacation? And then they get engaged like THIS? Sorry but this is a Hallmark movie. nytimes.com/2026/05/22/style…

Election after election, Democrats have tried and (mostly) failed to take out David Valadao. Now he's more vulnerable than ever — and Democrats are locked in a testy dispute over the best way to beat him, with control of the House on the line. sfchronicle.com/politics/art…

SO proud to be an alum of the mighty San Francisco Chronicle. If you live in the Bay and you haven’t subscribed - what are you waiting for?
The Chronicle was honored for revealing how companies drastically underpay wildfire survivors. Gabrielle Lurie and an investigation of for-profit psychiatric hospitals were named finalists. sfchronicle.com/about/newsro…
