Esfandiar Baraheni (@ JustEsBaraheni):
Tough thing about where the Spurs are at with Fox is that they very obviously need his ball-handling and scoring. But he hasn’t been good enough to warrant the usage. They need the idealized version of him.
Very similar predicament to the Raptors with BI in the Cavs series.

Seems like there is an error with the box score, as Victor Wembanyama only has two fouls and not three.
However, Karl-Anthony Towns just picked up his third in the first half.

Knicks are on a 14-5 run over the last 4 mins to get within 6 of the Spurs’ once 16-point lead.
Brunson with 8 of his 16 points during the run

Tom Haberstroh (@ tomhaberstroh):
Analytically the Spurs are up at least 26

Knicks took 21 minutes to reach 30 points and they’re only down six. Spurs should have been packing for the flight by now and missed a good chance.
