Jackson Frank (@ jackfrank_jjf):
Just look at all the bodies devoted to Wemby on the roll. There’s never an outlet for a pass. Spurs’ supporting cast has to hit shots like these.

Sometimes one team just has another team’s number and it’s a better matchup for that team
The Spurs went 8-4 against OKC this year and just had their number
The Knicks are now 3-1 against the Spurs this year

The Knicks’ charmed playoff run continued in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, where they posed a riddle Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs were unable to solve.

Great opportunity to take a deeper look at Oscar Wembanyama at adidas EuroCamp in Treviso this weekend.
The 6’8, 19-year-old wing averaged 10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 block for Strasbourg in the French Espoirs league this season.

KAT played an incredible game.
Michael Pina (@ MichaelVPina):
when the spurs took their largest lead halfway into the third quarter, mike brown went to a lineup that’s basically never played before: brunson, mcbride, towns, shamet, and hart.
four minutes later, the game was tied: theringer.com/2026…

“I’m not worried (in) the slightest…We’re going to be so much better. I’m going to be so much better.”
Victor Wembanyama didn’t seem concerned with NYK & Karl-Anthony Towns’ defense in G1 loss. But Towns & his teammates made Wemby look human last night: sny.tv/articles…

“I thought we did well… I feel like a lot of his buckets were loud because they were back-to-back. It hurt a little bit more. We did a pretty good job on him.”

SpursRΞPORTΞR (@ SpursReporter):
Apparently Wemby was mic’d up during Game 1, but we never got any of the audio on the broadcast. 
That could mean they’re saving it for something bigger.
Hopefully we’ll hear it soon.
Sam Quinn (@ SamQuinnCBS):
For what this is worth, this has been the best defensive season of KAT’s career. By both eye test and metrics. I do think the KAT-Brunson concerns were absolutely warranted when the team came together but he is just a markedly better defender now than he was in Minnesota.
Adam Zagoria (@ AdamZagoria):
True but the narrative was the Eastern Conference was the JV to the Western Conference
The Knicks clearly matchup well with the Spurs and now lead 3-1 on the season
Long way to go of course

Brunson was 8-of-12 when guarded by Champagnie or Carter Bryant. He was 4-of-19 the rest of the time.
BBALLBREAKDOWN (@ bballbreakdown):
A big key to the Spurs losing Game 1 last night was missing TWENTY open 3 point shots. If the shooter has a few feet of space and no visual impairment of the rim as they begin the arm swing up, that’s an open shot in my book. In the playoffs, they’re shooting 30% on open 3s.
Hardwood Paroxysm (@ HPbasketball):
15 potential assists for De’Aaron Fox in Game 1, only five converted. The most potential assists of any player in Game 1

Where was Dylan Harper?
This was the big question that came from the Spurs’ Game 1 loss to the Knicks. My deep dive into Harper’s importance in this series and why keeping him in the lineup is the easy solution that fixes everything for the Spurs.
