The Knicks have thrown every defender, double team, and insult they can find at him.
Now the series shifts to San Antonio with the Spurs fighting for their season. The Knicks need only one win.

Devin Vassell says they’re taking the challenge of needing to win three games in a row one game at a time.
It sounds like we can expect the Spurs to come out swinging and not let up.
SpursRΞPORTΞR (@ SpursReporter):
If Luke Kornet really can’t suit up, Head coach Mitch Johnson might have to experiment with desperate small-ball five variations, utilizing Carter Bryant or veteran depth like Harrison Barnes or Keldon Johnson to fill the gaps when Wembanyama rests.

Tell you what would be absolutely iconic.
If both of these series end up the same way… One highly celebrated victory on the Knicks’ home court during the Finals. Then the San Antonio Spurs win it all - again.
Now THAT would be truly Iconic.

John Calipari on people blaming De’Aaron Fox for the Spurs losing Game 4:
“Stop on De’Aaron Fox, he’s playing with a high ankle sprain… probably shouldn’t be playing. He would normally dunk that layup… if he would’ve dunked it, he’s the hero…”
