By the way, you can foul up by 4 as well.

Wait, did I put on Game 4 by accident?

They're gonna give this to KAT

I'll disagree with RJ and say you can't play packline positioning against a shooter like Vassell. It's too easy to make that pass and get it off with a long close out from Hart

Okay, so we've got a better angle. The refs are going to consider this an unnatural body turn and landing with feet split, so that's why the held off on the landing space foul.

I don't think anyone could argue that his feet swaying forward was anything but natural, and that Wemby didn't give him space to land. Confounding no call

The key for anyone contesting in the air is to rotate the body so you can land sideways and break right back into the play, as Vassell demonstrates beautifully here

This is a dangerous play regardless when a player is pushed in back. And the 2 to make 1 rule is rare but happens when a shot is made and a flagrant is committed. A throw back to the '50s rulebook

Just a huge shot by Vassell at the buzzer to stop the bleeding and interrupt New York's momentum. Knicks have to be favored in a slog of a game like this.

De'Aaron Fox thinks that impacting a player from behind without straightening the arms isn't a flagrant foul, yet the rules don't care about that. Only the degree and timing of impact. Can't remember a player struggling with decisions like this in a Finals

I'd say a low scoring game favors the Knicks.

Truly mystifying how they allowed this one. Yikes

After the double, Vassell needs to let the cutter go to Castle so he can maintain his position. Instead, he ends up next to Castle while Brunson can lick his thumb and check the wind before lighting this up

There is no way Jimmy Goldstein will stand for this.
As seen on Ticketmaster, sales for Game 5 of the NBA finals “will be restricted to customers residing within a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center” in San Antonio
