00:05:25During 2026, the NBA proudly celebrates America's 250th birthday.
00:05:29Through service and volunteerism, we honor the spirit, resilience, and unity that have shaped our nation for two and a
00:05:38half centuries.
00:05:39Presenting the colors tonight is the joint color guard team of the Bernie police and fire department.
00:05:53Tonight's presentation of the national anthem is being performed by three-time Grammy award winning artist, Tori Kelly.
00:06:08Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
00:06:30Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, or the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
00:06:52And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still
00:07:14there.
00:07:15Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
00:07:30O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
00:07:55The only thing we know of these finals is the NBA will crown a different champion for the eighth consecutive
00:08:01year.
00:08:02Eight years, no back-to-back. The last repeat Golden State in 17-18.
00:08:09Who will be the eighth different champion in these latest eight years? Will it be the Knicks or will it
00:08:15be the Spurs?
00:08:16Right now, let's go back as our starting line is brought to you by Ford. Here's Roland Ruiz.
00:08:24Introducing the starting lineup for the visiting Eastern Conference champions, the New York Knicks.

00:12:44You're trying to lower that emotion
00:12:45You're trying to remember that this is just a game
00:12:48Even though you know you're four games away from your absolute dream
00:12:51Meanwhile we've got a little something special tonight to begin
00:12:54Our crew chief is Scott Foster
00:12:57He's with Jimmy Capers and Sean Wright
00:12:59And Scott Foster is mic'd up for us for the opening tip
00:13:06Foster in his 32nd season his 27th finals game
00:13:12Here we go
00:13:13Good
00:13:15Good
00:13:16Let's go
00:13:17High and fast
00:13:20High and fast
00:13:20High and fast
00:13:272026
00:13:28NBA Finals underway
00:13:29For the Knicks and the Spurs
00:13:32Last time the Knicks were in the NBA Finals
00:13:3527 years ago
00:13:37Against the San Antonio Spurs
00:13:39Jalen Brunson's first shot of his finals career goes down
00:13:42That's not a coincidence
00:13:43They go to Brunson right off the bat
00:13:45That set action
00:13:46Bringing him off a down screen with Wemby
00:13:48Matched up on Cat at the three point line
00:13:51The Aaron Fox has been playing on a bum ankle
00:13:54It's gotten a little better
00:13:55But he is not a hundred percent
00:13:56Towns gets way out on Wembenyama
00:14:00Stops pulls up
00:14:01Elbow jumper
00:14:02That one goes
00:14:03So the two stars get off by knocking down their first shots
00:14:06And their four wins in the conference finals for the San Antonio Spurs
00:14:09He averaged 13 shots in the first half
00:14:12When he comes out and sets the tone and aggressive
00:14:15Their team is in a much better place
00:14:18Towns rips a pass to Bridges
00:14:19Mikkel Bridges fakes
00:14:20Now drives
00:14:21Shot off nicely by Fox
00:14:22Five on the 24
00:14:24Brunson sneaks in
00:14:26Lay a bank shot
00:14:26Won't go
00:14:27Hart the rebound
00:14:28And a new 14 on the shot clock
00:14:30And an OB a three
00:14:32And a good shooting that has happened throughout the playoffs
00:14:35Continues with this start
00:14:37And a theme we're going to be talking about throughout the series
00:14:39The Knicks on the offensive glass
00:14:41They've hurt the Spurs with that
00:14:42In the regular season
00:14:44And Josh Hart
00:14:44Right away gets them three extra points
00:14:48Wembenyama showing his handle
00:14:49Showing his agility
00:14:51Can't get it to fall
00:14:52Champagny
00:14:53With the offensive rebound
00:14:54The cell fires
00:14:56That's in and out
00:14:57Pass on the rebound
00:14:58Back up
00:14:58Can't get it
00:14:59And Brunson a rebound
00:15:00And one thing we're going to want to pay attention to in this series
00:15:02Is Karl-Anthony Towns guarding Wembe
00:15:05You do not want Karl-Anthony Towns in foul trouble
00:15:08Towns
00:15:09Misfires
00:15:10Although Mitchell Robinson
00:15:11The backup center again is
00:15:12Set to play
00:15:13How much he can play
00:15:14How effective
00:15:15Still to be determined
00:15:16With a broken bone in his hand
00:15:18Wembenyama turns it over
00:15:19Knicks out of three on two
00:15:20And an OB goes in with four stops
00:15:23And gets it a go
00:15:24As Wembenyama got there just a tad late
00:15:26And I actually think that's the best way to play Wembe
00:15:29You have to put people in his lap
00:15:31When he goes one on one
00:15:32He likes to spin
00:15:33He is still not a guy that's going to pick you apart with his passing
00:15:37Castle gets inside
00:15:38Hart got a piece of it
00:15:39Knocked it loose
00:15:40Castle gets it back
00:15:42Both these teams are excellent defensively
00:15:44They get so much notice for their offenses
00:15:46Wembenyama
00:15:47Falling away
00:15:48Difficult shot
00:15:49Park the rebound
00:15:50And looks to push
00:15:51Knicks want to play as fast as possible
00:15:54Bridges on the pull-up
00:15:57And an OB pokes it loose
00:15:59But Champagne picks it up
00:16:02Fox fires away
00:16:04Can't get that to go
00:16:05The tip is up and good
00:16:06From Bissell
00:16:11Mark drives on Wembenyama
00:16:14They change their mind all the time
00:16:16When they drive to the basket against Wembe
00:16:18A lot of U-turns
00:16:21Dangerous pass
00:16:22Towns somehow holds on
00:16:23Fall knocked away
00:16:25Towns gets it back
00:16:25All right
00:16:26This time doesn't have Wembenyama
00:16:28And banks it home
00:16:30Well and that's the thing
00:16:31You want to change your mind
00:16:33He's so good defensively
00:16:34And that's okay
00:16:35Because you can still attack them
00:16:37You just have to find different angles
00:16:38And opportunities
00:16:39When he's away from the basket
00:16:41Like he was right there
00:16:42The cell
00:16:44To Wembe
00:16:45Fox
00:16:47Fox lines up his three-pointer
00:16:48Can't get that to go
00:16:49Martin grabs yet another rebound
00:16:51That's his third already
00:16:53And one of the leading rebounders
00:16:54In the playoff
00:16:55Goes right at Wembenyama
00:16:56Blocked by Wembe
00:16:58Castle picks it up
00:16:59Comes the other way
00:17:02Wembenyama three-pointer
00:17:03Got it
00:17:07And in that sequence
00:17:09The uniqueness
00:17:09Of Victor
00:17:10Wembenyama
00:17:11Able to meet Josh Hart
00:17:13At the rim
00:17:13And then trail the play
00:17:15From 28 feet
00:17:17And knock down the three
00:17:19Bridges looking for some room
00:17:21Again Wembe lurking
00:17:22Hart drives
00:17:24Kicks it
00:17:24And an OB
00:17:26Up top
00:17:26Brunson
00:17:28Shot clock winding down
00:17:29Brunson bumped by Champenny
00:17:31Leans in
00:17:31Shot blocked from behind
00:17:34But a 24-second violation anyway
00:17:36And it's going to be Spurs ball
00:17:39And I like Josh Hart
00:17:40Because what you also want to do
00:17:41Is try and get him into foul trouble
00:17:43Watch him go straight to his body
00:17:44Try to draw a foul
00:17:46But if you don't get that
00:17:47Wembe's going to get that
00:17:48And he went three or four different ways
00:17:50To try to get Wembe to turn around
00:17:52And snivel his hips
00:17:53And he still made the play
00:17:54Fox can't get it to fall
00:17:56Fox 0 for 3 to start
00:17:58All from three-point range
00:18:01Spurs just 3 of 11
00:18:03I will tell you this
00:18:04If you haven't played a bunch of games
00:18:06Like the Knicks have in the last month
00:18:08You know that wind is affecting them
00:18:10Towns lays that up
00:18:11And the Knicks have played
00:18:12Four games in the last 23 days
00:18:16Incredible
00:18:16Because they had the back-to-back sweeps
00:18:19They've won 11 in a row
00:18:20And they've got a five-point lead to start
00:18:22Timeout San Antonio
00:18:26HQ
00:18:27Here's Mitch Johnson before the game
00:18:30More than anything
00:18:31The together thing
00:18:33And the communication thing
00:18:35Right
00:18:36Everybody's going to be a little amped up
00:18:37But just continue to channel that energy in there
00:18:40But do not fight that adrenaline thing
00:18:42Do not fight that energy thing
00:18:43Okay
00:18:45Simple plays
00:18:46Will feel like highlights
00:18:48Hit singles
00:18:49Does feel like home runs
00:18:5239-year-old Mitch Johnson
00:18:53Only the second coach
00:18:54To lead the Spurs to the finals
00:18:56There's the other man
00:18:5729 years
00:18:58As head coach
00:18:59During those 29 years
00:19:00There were 284 coaching changes in the NBA
00:19:04While Popovich
00:19:06Directed the Spurs for all that time
00:19:09Dylan Hawk was in for the first time
00:19:10Keldon Johnson
00:19:11The NBA sixth man
00:19:12Stolen by Bridges
00:19:14Second turnover for San Antonio
00:19:16At times that has been a little problem for this younger team
00:19:19As Towns gets past Wembenyama
00:19:21Layup is good
00:19:22You have to love that
00:19:24First and Knicks play fast
00:19:25That means that Spurs can't necessarily get back
00:19:28Set up
00:19:29Look at you
00:19:30And execute their defense
00:19:31Karl-Anthony Towns
00:19:32Attacks
00:19:33A closeout
00:19:34By Wembe
00:19:35The Celtic
00:19:36Wembenyama
00:19:37Josh Hart
00:19:37On him now
00:19:40Double team
00:19:41Kicks it back out
00:19:42Shot clock at five
00:19:43Castle
00:19:44Can't get it
00:19:45Long rebound
00:19:45Brunson
00:19:46But a whistle and a foul
00:19:47And it's gonna go against Josh Hart
00:19:49I think it might go against Karl-Anthony Towns
00:19:52Do they
00:19:53Cause it
00:19:56Oh okay
00:19:59Oh you see one
00:20:00No it's now it's the other direction
00:20:01Mitch Johnson's confused
00:20:03Josh Hart was upset
00:20:04He thought it was called on him
00:20:06They put number three out
00:20:08And
00:20:09The foul
00:20:10Still has not been determined
00:20:12Yeah
00:20:13Looked like they pointed
00:20:14And said right here
00:20:15At first when the whistle blew
00:20:16Like stay at this end
00:20:18In other words
00:20:19So it is Keldon Johnson
00:20:21Number three on the Spurs
00:20:22Everybody thought
00:20:23Including both benches
00:20:24It was number three on the Knicks
00:20:26Brunson brings it up
00:20:27That's gonna be a fun matchup
00:20:28Castle
00:20:29A spectacular defender
00:20:31Mike throws it up top
00:20:32Towns
00:20:33Nice fake
00:20:34Goes right at Wembe
00:20:35Layup is up and
00:20:36Can't get it
00:20:37Snatched by the cell
00:20:38There comes Castle the other way
00:20:42Harper goes right at Brunson
00:20:44Lost the handle
00:20:45Knocked out of bounds
00:20:49Now a foul called
00:20:53And while this Knicks team is elite on the defensive end
00:20:56Especially if you compare them against OKC who was also great
00:20:59Where they're different than OKC I believe is their length
00:21:03The length of Mikael Bridges the length of OG Ananobi
00:21:06If you have an errant pass those players have the ability to get in those passing lanes and create steals
00:21:12and opportunities
00:21:13Castle goes right at Shannon
00:21:15Shot is up
00:21:15And rolls in
00:21:18He's such a physical guard
00:21:19He wants to get two feet into paint
00:21:21He's so patient once he gets down there
00:21:23Uses that shoulder to create a little bit of separation
00:21:26Josh Hart's three-pointer off the mark
00:21:29He will have that throughout these finals
00:21:31They'll leave him open
00:21:32Hart has not shot well from three-point range
00:21:34Keldon Johnson can't get it
00:21:35Hart snatches yet another rebound
00:21:38He's got five rebounds already
00:21:41Bridges lobs it up top
00:21:44Brunson
00:21:45To Towns
00:21:46Johnson there
00:21:47But Wimby lurking
00:21:48Pass inside
00:21:49Deflected and stolen
00:21:51Knicks with their first turnover
00:21:52Harper
00:21:53Keldon Johnson
00:21:54Inside
00:21:55Castle
00:21:55Can't get it to fall
00:21:58And Josh Hart upset
00:22:00Another whistle and a foul
00:22:01That's going to be two fouls on Josh Hart
00:22:03And even there
00:22:03Castle didn't
00:22:05Finish that
00:22:05But again
00:22:06So patient when he gets
00:22:08He rarely releases the ball
00:22:09The first time around the rim
00:22:11He's going to be patient
00:22:12Sometimes it'll be a step through
00:22:14Sometimes an up and under right there
00:22:16He had the leverage on Josh Hart
00:22:19And could get that to the rim
00:22:20Because of the presence of Wimby
00:22:22This 21-year-old Castle
00:22:23He is a future all-star
00:22:25And sometimes can get overshadowed
00:22:27Certainly not here in San Antonio
00:22:29As he knocks down the first
00:22:31Tonight's coming up
00:22:32Upcoming NBA Finals schedule
00:22:34Friday on ABC
00:22:35We'll have game two right back here
00:22:378.30 Eastern time start
00:22:39And then Monday game three
00:22:41Series shifts to Madison Square Garden
00:22:43In New York also
00:22:448.30 Eastern
00:22:46Castle in his first playoffs
00:22:48Has been magnificent
00:22:4918 points
00:22:52Seven and a half assists
00:22:53Five rebounds
00:22:54He's an excellent rebounder for a guard
00:22:57And Mitch Johnson always says
00:22:59Great rebounding guards can be game changers
00:23:01And it really helps San Antonio
00:23:08Harper also an excellent defensive player
00:23:11Brunson finds some room
00:23:12Kicks it out
00:23:13And Anobi
00:23:14Luke Cornett's in
00:23:16And Anobi gathers
00:23:17Kicks it back out
00:23:18Shot at three-pointer
00:23:19Can't get it
00:23:20Towns offensive rebound
00:23:21Looks to put it back up
00:23:23Stumbles a bit
00:23:23Shot is off the mark
00:23:24He thought he was fouled
00:23:25Here comes Castle
00:23:29Castle pulls up
00:23:30Now kicks it out
00:23:31Johnson three-pointer
00:23:33Bridges tips it to Ananobi
00:23:35Ahead to Brunson
00:23:36And Knicks look to push
00:23:38Excellent transition defense
00:23:39One of the best in the league
00:23:41At recovery
00:23:42Cutting off the basketball
00:23:43And forcing you to reset
00:23:46Brunson misfires
00:23:47Both teams shooting poorly to start
00:23:50Nacelle
00:23:51Can't get that to fall
00:23:52Fight for the rebound
00:23:53Towns
00:23:54And Towns is fouled
00:23:56On the rebound
00:23:56Will go down the other way
00:24:00Kelvin Johnson
00:24:01His second foul
00:24:03Fox comes back in
00:24:04Champagny comes back in
00:24:06And the reason why it's so key
00:24:08For them to play fast
00:24:09You have a defensive player of the year
00:24:11You have elite defensive guards
00:24:12In front of him
00:24:13If you allow their defense to get set
00:24:15Your percentages go down
00:24:17Across the board
00:24:18You gotta play fast before that defense is set
00:24:21You think the Spurs right now
00:24:22Are rushing a little bit offensively
00:24:24It seems like a lot of these one pass
00:24:26Three point shots
00:24:27Are shots they can get later
00:24:29Right now
00:24:30Feels like to me
00:24:30They're a little bit
00:24:31Too sped up offensively
00:24:33Brunson turns it over
00:24:34Harper the steal
00:24:35Harper the race down
00:24:36Blocked from behind by Bridges
00:24:38But a foul
00:24:39Well he stopped
00:24:40What would have been a highlight block
00:24:41But Dylan Harper
00:24:43Excellent defense
00:24:44And he'll shoot too
00:24:47And again Brunson gets in
00:24:49Great anticipation by the rookie Harper
00:24:52And this is what you're supposed to do
00:24:54If you're Mikael Bridges
00:24:55That's a good foul
00:24:56Make him earn two at the line
00:24:59Because those type of plays
00:25:00Can fuel a crowd
00:25:01They can fuel a team
00:25:02Slow him down
00:25:03Make him earn him from the free throw line
00:25:04Mitch Johnson calls Harper
00:25:06As talented as any guard
00:25:08He's ever been around
00:25:09A 20 year old
00:25:1020 year old rookie
00:25:11Just another draft pick gem
00:25:13San Antonio Spurs
00:25:16As Mitchell Robinson will make his appearance
00:25:18And again Robinson injured his right hand
00:25:21It's a broken bone
00:25:24In the pinky area
00:25:26And they've got as you can see that brace on
00:25:28It'll be interesting to see how
00:25:29Affects that in terms of him grabbing the ball
00:25:31He has been a game changer for the Knicks off the bench
00:25:37Harper hits a pair
00:25:38The Knick lead cut to one
00:25:40The Mitchell Robinson had ten
00:25:43Offensive rebounds in a game against the Spurs
00:25:45Earlier this season
00:25:48Alley-oop
00:25:48Broken up by Cornette
00:25:50Luke Cornette with an excellent defensive play
00:25:52Harper on the run again
00:25:54Gets inside
00:25:55Layups good
00:25:55And a foul
00:25:57Dillon Harper takes it to the goal
00:25:58And a chance for a three-point play
00:26:05Well this is so well done by Luke Cornette
00:26:07To be able to give the help
00:26:09On the guard
00:26:10And then still backpedal
00:26:11And then time it perfectly
00:26:13To deflect that at the rim
00:26:15And this is what Dillon Harper is about
00:26:16I think this is one of the strongest
00:26:18One and done guards we have ever seen
00:26:20Come into this league
00:26:21The way he can play through contact
00:26:23In the paint
00:26:24Of course the son of
00:26:25Five ring ron
00:26:26One rings with the Bulls
00:26:28And the Lakers
00:26:29And what a spark
00:26:31He's off the bench
00:26:31Nine straight points
00:26:32Now for the Spurs
00:26:33They have their first lead
00:26:36And Harper
00:26:37Excellent on this end of the floor
00:26:39As well
00:26:39Tenacious defender
00:26:40Again just 20 years old
00:26:45And an OB calls for a screen
00:26:46Then goes the other way
00:26:48Gets inside
00:26:49Double team
00:26:49Sets back to Brunson
00:26:51Brunson a clean look
00:26:52Can't get of the fall
00:26:53Cornette
00:26:54Tips it
00:26:56Luke Cornette's already made
00:26:57A couple of good plays
00:26:58Off the bench
00:27:01Fox Whitson
00:27:01Harper
00:27:03Hits a free
00:27:04Dillon Harper on fire
00:27:05In his first finals game
00:27:08That's one rambunctious rookie
00:27:10And Mike Brown might want to think
00:27:12About a timeout
00:27:13Because they're making a run
00:27:14With Wimby out the game
00:27:16And Shannon answers back
00:27:18Shannon who was spectacular
00:27:20In the conference finals
00:27:21He was 11 of 12 from three-point range
00:27:25Champagny tries to answer and does
00:27:28Now the threes are falling for both teams
00:27:30And you got Champagny and Landry
00:27:32Shamit jawing at each other
00:27:34Already kind of love that
00:27:36Nine minutes in of game one
00:27:38Brunson nice move
00:27:39Couldn't finish
00:27:41There's Fox
00:27:42Champagny tries again
00:27:44Fires
00:27:44Not that time
00:27:46Robinson the rebound
00:27:48Champagny a New York native
00:27:50So loves to play against the Knicks
00:27:52The best scoring game of his career
00:27:53Against him
00:27:54In the regular season
00:27:56Harper gets a little over aggressive
00:27:59And he'll pick up his first
00:28:01What a performance off the bench
00:28:03For the rookie
00:28:03Well he's not an ordinary rookie
00:28:05He is not phased
00:28:07By this moment
00:28:08He's grown up here
00:28:09In the postseason
00:28:10He is ready
00:28:11Toted up
00:28:12Knocks it down
00:28:25Back at San Antonio
00:28:26A five-point lead
00:28:28To the Spurs
00:28:29With two-and-a-half to play
00:28:30When Monyama
00:28:31Comes back into the game
00:28:32Early thoughts
00:28:33Richard on what you're seeing
00:28:34No yeah
00:28:35I think legs had its first
00:28:36We're playing a little fast
00:28:37Kind of shooting early
00:28:39The Knicks are starting to settle in
00:28:42I think you've got to get acclimated
00:28:43To playing against Wimby
00:28:45The first time you see him
00:28:46The first time you play against each other
00:28:48It's like everyone's kind of sparring right now
00:28:51Well Spurs went
00:28:52On an 11-3 run
00:28:53With one Monyama on the bench
00:28:56And they showed how good they are
00:28:58How they're just
00:28:58So much more than their star player
00:29:00During the season when he missed
00:29:02Brunson pulls up
00:29:03His shot
00:29:03In and out
00:29:04Can't get it before
00:29:05Robinson tries to get it
00:29:06Champagne has it
00:29:07Jalen Brunson just one of seven to start
00:29:09Knicks now seven of twenty
00:29:13Champagne extra pass
00:29:14Harrison Barnes
00:29:15A former champion
00:29:17Out to Fox
00:29:17Fox kicks at Champagne
00:29:19Loves those corner threes
00:29:20Got another
00:29:23And a foul
00:29:24After the shot was released
00:29:26And Barnes got knocked down
00:29:28And he's gonna take one free throw
00:29:31Brunson's holding his knee right now
00:29:35Jalen Brunson holding that right knee
00:29:40He's looking over at the bench
00:29:44He is one that never wants to come out
00:29:47But he needs to come out
00:29:49And not a good sign when he asked to come out
00:29:51And there you see
00:29:53The fall back from Barnes
00:29:55Knocks into him
00:29:56Fight for the rebound
00:29:57Robinson
00:29:57Couldn't get it
00:29:58But McBride could
00:29:59Deuce McBride getting
00:30:01Minutes off the bench
00:30:01And that is a heavy limp
00:30:03By Jalen Brunson
00:30:04And that's when you're most vulnerable
00:30:05When you're standing in a relaxed state
00:30:07Someone falls back into your knee
00:30:09No telling how much he hyperextended it
00:30:12At this point he's definitely in distress
00:30:13Fox poked it away
00:30:15McBride regathers
00:30:17Fires a three pointer
00:30:18Shot misses
00:30:19Rebound Harper
00:30:22Harper
00:30:23Harper pushing the pace
00:30:24Barnes face
00:30:28Harper
00:30:28In attack mode
00:30:29Goes inside at Brunson
00:30:31And scores again
00:30:3210 points in 6 minutes
00:30:34And the Knicks need timeout
00:30:36It's a 10 point lead
00:30:37And a 17 point turnaround
00:30:46Something early to keep your eye on
00:30:48Right here
00:30:48Jalen Brunson
00:30:50Taking this shot to the knee
00:30:52As he looks up at the rim
00:30:53You see him immediately grab it
00:30:55Limping from that point on
00:30:57Dylan Harper knows it
00:30:58You're hurting
00:30:58I'm gonna go right at you
00:30:59The Knicks are extended on the perimeter
00:31:01That's one on one
00:31:02Easy pickings in the lane
00:31:08Welcome back to San Antonio
00:31:11Doesn't look good for Knicks
00:31:14Jalen Brunson walking back to the Knicks locker room
00:31:17After taking a shot to his right knee
00:31:19Just a few moments ago
00:31:20You could see right away
00:31:22That he was in some pain
00:31:23I will keep you updated Mike
00:31:25As I learn more
00:31:27All right
00:31:27Thank you Lisa Bridges tips that in
00:31:29Obviously that's the nightmare scenario
00:31:31But we'll see what
00:31:32Go back and work on him
00:31:33Nick's certainly hoping to get him back
00:31:34As soon as possible
00:31:35As Champagne gets it to one
00:31:37One on one with Towns
00:31:39To spin
00:31:39Well defended
00:31:40Tough ball away shot
00:31:41And the rebound goes to Alvarado
00:31:44Jose Alvarado picked up mid-season
00:31:46The New York native
00:31:47His first year with the Knicks
00:31:52We'll get some extra minutes with Brunson
00:31:54Back in the locker room
00:31:57Shannon looking for Towns
00:31:59And a foul on the entry pass
00:32:02Champagne with the hole
00:32:03See that defense that time
00:32:05With Carl Anthony Towns
00:32:06Alvarado came off
00:32:07He drew Wembenyama to him
00:32:09It looked like at one point
00:32:10There was going to be two defenders on the ball
00:32:12And Cat was open
00:32:13Champagne with great recognition
00:32:15To leave him at that point
00:32:16Run back to Cat
00:32:18Closed out before they could swing it for a three
00:32:19Well and what he did
00:32:20What Cat's countered to that
00:32:22Is that he takes it into the post
00:32:23So whenever Wembeys guarding him
00:32:25If they switch
00:32:26Take that small player into the post
00:32:28And be a playmaker from that position
00:32:31Castle back in
00:32:32Barnes sits down
00:32:33Harper putting pressure on Alvarado
00:32:36Finds Towns
00:32:37Shot clock at five
00:32:39Alvarado thought about it
00:32:41Has to step back
00:32:42High arcing three
00:32:43And rattles in and out
00:32:44That one halfway down
00:32:46Can't penny the other way
00:32:47Is about a two-second difference
00:32:49Shot clock and game clock
00:32:54Knicks do not have a foul to give here
00:33:00Fox goes at Alvarado
00:33:02Gets into the paint
00:33:03Picks it up top
00:33:04Castle thought about it
00:33:06Now he gets into the paint
00:33:07Tough falling away
00:33:08Can't get it
00:33:09Rebound Towns
00:33:11And that will end the first quarter
00:33:14Knicks got off to a hot start
00:33:16Went up by seven
00:33:17And then Dylan Harper
00:33:18Entered the game
00:33:19The Spurs rookie
00:33:20Part of a 20-3 run
00:33:22Well one of the headlines
00:33:23Of course
00:33:23Jalen Brunson's right knee
00:33:25Right now he's back in the locker room
00:33:28First quarter complete here
00:33:29In game one of the finals
00:33:30Spurs
00:33:31An eight-point advantage
00:33:42It's time for tonight's access
00:33:43Brought to you by
00:33:44Visible by Verizon
00:33:46Cat they went on a run
00:33:47What do you have to shore up
00:33:48Defensively
00:33:49Uh
00:33:50You just
00:33:50Gotta take better shots
00:33:52No turnovers
00:33:53I think it'll help their offense
00:33:54Be better with the ball
00:33:55Your captain Jalen Brunson
00:33:57Back in the locker room
00:33:58Just how do you hold things together
00:34:00Without knowing his status
00:34:02And whether or not
00:34:02He'll be able to return
00:34:03Just stay together
00:34:04That's what's got us here
00:34:05Being together is what's got us
00:34:06To this moment
00:34:07Being together is gonna get us
00:34:08Out of this moment
00:34:09Thank you Cat
00:34:11All right
00:34:11Lisa Wermanyama
00:34:12Throws up a three
00:34:13Ball batted loose
00:34:14Alvarado trying to save it
00:34:15He does to Shabbat
00:34:16But couldn't hold on
00:34:17Spurs ball
00:34:18All right legs without Brunson
00:34:19To the Knicks
00:34:19Have to change the way they play
00:34:21He's obviously back on the
00:34:22On the bench right now
00:34:24They do have to
00:34:25Because one of the things
00:34:25They wanted to do was engage
00:34:27Victor Wermanyama
00:34:28As many ball screen actions
00:34:29As possible
00:34:30It's just a different threat level
00:34:31When he's got the basketball
00:34:33That's how you truly
00:34:34Engage Wermanyama
00:34:35A little bit more difficult
00:34:36With the guards
00:34:37They have on the floor now
00:34:38And I think Brunson
00:34:39Gave the sign to say
00:34:40That he's okay
00:34:41He's ready to go back in
00:34:42Fox throws it up
00:34:43And Wermanyama
00:34:44Nope
00:34:45Basket won't count
00:34:46He got fouled
00:34:46Before he was able
00:34:48To catch the lob pass
00:34:49It'll be a side out
00:34:51Alvarado picks up his first
00:34:53The lob threat is always there
00:34:55No matter where he is on the floor
00:35:05And it will be guarding castle
00:35:08Barnes
00:35:09Quick release on his three pointer
00:35:10Downs grabs the rebound
00:35:13And Johnson said time and time again
00:35:15When we talk before the game
00:35:16How rebounding might be one of the most critical areas
00:35:21Towns drives on Fox
00:35:22And Fox with some contact
00:35:24That shot will not count
00:35:26Before any upward motion
00:35:27Be a side out
00:35:29First foul on D'Aaron Fox
00:35:31To your point about the rebounding
00:35:32The Knicks have between
00:35:34Carl Anthony Towns
00:35:34Mitchell Robinson
00:35:35And Josh Hart
00:35:36Even for his position
00:35:38Three guys that per minute
00:35:39Are going to absolutely
00:35:40Get you second chance opportunities
00:35:42Fortunately for the Spurs
00:35:43Their guards are exceptional rebounders
00:35:45They've got to come back
00:35:46And track down the long wins
00:35:47And help the bigs
00:35:48Towns thought about a three
00:35:50Now drives on Fox
00:35:52Alvarado to McBride
00:35:53McBride his three pointer
00:35:55Gets that one to go
00:35:56Knicks with three for eleven
00:35:57Prior to that three pointer
00:36:01Back to a five point game
00:36:03Ananobi got a piece of it
00:36:04A quick hands of O.G. Ananobi
00:36:08Towns drives on Wembe
00:36:09Gets past inside
00:36:10Block from behind
00:36:13Towns upset
00:36:14Thought there was contact
00:36:15Again the recovery
00:36:16That Weminyama has
00:36:18Is remarkable
00:36:19I don't even know if it's a recovery Mike
00:36:21I think he's still in position
00:36:22Even right here
00:36:24Defensively
00:36:25And let's see if he has a claim
00:36:26Well he gets the ball
00:36:28Before the follow through
00:36:29On the arm
00:36:29I actually like that call
00:36:31That's all ball
00:36:31Yes
00:36:32Little bit of contact
00:36:33After he makes the block
00:36:35That's his second block
00:36:36Already
00:36:38Alvarado
00:36:38Sneaks past
00:36:40And that's a goaltend
00:36:42It's amazing he even got to that
00:36:44But what Alvarado did right there
00:36:46He got it up on the glass
00:36:48So quickly
00:36:50This ball hits the glass
00:36:51Before Weminyama
00:36:53Has a chance to get to it
00:36:55Of course he had a 12 block game
00:36:57The NBA record
00:36:58Earlier in these playoffs
00:37:00Castle throws it up
00:37:01The Knicks converge on him
00:37:03A whistle and a foul
00:37:05This one's going to go against
00:37:06Deuce McBride
00:37:08Second team foul
00:37:09First on McBride
00:37:10And one of the things legs
00:37:11Like you said
00:37:12That's the adjustment to playing
00:37:13Against Wemby
00:37:14You know you can't just lay it up
00:37:16You've got to get the ball
00:37:17To the glass as quickly as possible
00:37:21Runs it on the bench
00:37:22They tried to put a
00:37:23A knee brace on him
00:37:24It's not on him now
00:37:25They're not set to check in yet
00:37:27Castle gets inside
00:37:29Off the glass
00:37:31Stefan Castle now at six points
00:37:32Again you see the patience
00:37:33He hesitates halfway down the lane
00:37:36And then he has that second gear
00:37:38When he wants to take off and finish
00:37:40Oh Towns
00:37:41Beautiful move
00:37:41Gets to the rim
00:37:42And sends it off the glass
00:37:44He's been aggressive going at Weminyama
00:37:47Running the floor
00:37:48Wemby's fouled again
00:37:50That's three quick team fouls
00:37:52Just two minutes and two seconds
00:37:54Into the second
00:37:55And again
00:37:56Wemby's going to pressure
00:37:57Carl Anthony Towns
00:37:58He's been an outstanding
00:37:58Playmaker all postseason
00:38:00He gets to his body
00:38:01And watch it
00:38:02Get it to the glass
00:38:03If you can get that ball
00:38:04To the glass
00:38:05High up the glass
00:38:06There are shots that you can
00:38:09Facilitate for yourself
00:38:10That will help eliminate
00:38:12His shot blocking
00:38:12So free throws
00:38:14Number seven and eight
00:38:15For San Antonio
00:38:17Knicks have not been
00:38:17To the free throw line yet
00:38:19Weminyama five points
00:38:20A rebound
00:38:20The two blocks

00:38:36NBA store
00:38:38In Paris
00:38:40Wonder what's the number one seller there
00:38:41I have no idea
00:38:42Tony Parker
00:38:43I thought you were going to say
00:38:44Richard Jefferson
00:38:45I was waiting for that answer
00:38:46It's Richard in France
00:38:50Weminyama
00:38:50An excellent free throw shooter
00:38:52In the playoffs
00:38:53He's taken now
00:38:54117 free throws
00:38:5687% from the free throw line
00:38:58Luxury to have him big
00:39:00With that kind of touch
00:39:01But listen
00:39:01On this end
00:39:02I love the way
00:39:03Carl Anthony Towns
00:39:04Has gone at him
00:39:05Seven shots
00:39:05In eleven minutes
00:39:06To start the game
00:39:08Towns has been more
00:39:09Of a playmaker
00:39:10But with Brunson out
00:39:11They'll need his offense
00:39:13Shannon
00:39:13Pull up
00:39:14Jumper
00:39:14Can't get it to fall
00:39:16Lassell
00:39:17Quick out left to Harper
00:39:18Harper back in the game
00:39:21Lassell
00:39:21Straight on for three
00:39:23And that one way off
00:39:24Alvarado comes the other way
00:39:29Knicks have won
00:39:30Six consecutive road games
00:39:32In these playoffs
00:39:32As Alvarado sneaks in
00:39:34And banks at home
00:39:35They've been a great road
00:39:36Playoff team
00:39:36And now they're back
00:39:38Within three
00:39:38That was Carl Anthony Towns
00:39:40With this seal
00:39:40In the lane
00:39:41Not allowing
00:39:43That defender
00:39:43To slide over
00:39:44On Alvarado's drive
00:39:45And Anobi
00:39:46With another steal
00:39:48Pass to Alvarado
00:39:49And there's the U-turn
00:39:52McBride
00:39:52Three-pointer
00:39:53Can't get that to fall
00:39:55Brunson at the scores table
00:39:57Set the check-in
00:39:58At the next whistle
00:40:01Wemby and Towns
00:40:02One-on-one
00:40:04Towns has had some
00:40:05Of the best defense
00:40:05Of his career
00:40:06In these playoffs
00:40:07But he hasn't
00:40:08Carded a man like that
00:40:09A lot of contact there
00:40:10Alvarado comes out
00:40:11Of the pack
00:40:12Shabbat
00:40:13Quick release three-pointer
00:40:14Can't get it
00:40:15And Harper
00:40:16Holds on
00:40:19Harper is everywhere
00:40:20He is
00:40:21But for Landry Shaman
00:40:22You were so hot
00:40:23The last series
00:40:24You've got to keep
00:40:25Your confidence
00:40:26Even if you miss a couple
00:40:27You just want to keep
00:40:28That rhythm flowing
00:40:29Yes, you're not going to go
00:40:30Ten for eleven
00:40:31In every series
00:40:32But the confidence
00:40:33Has to be there
00:40:35Spurs are shooting
00:40:36Thirty-three percent
00:40:37The Knicks
00:40:37Thirty-seven percent
00:40:39There's been a good
00:40:40Aggressive physical defense
00:40:41To start
00:40:43Six on a twenty-four
00:40:47And an Obie gets inside
00:40:50Finds Towns
00:40:51Towns
00:40:51Lay it won't go
00:40:51And he goes down hard
00:40:52On his back
00:40:55As a foul is going to be called
00:40:56On Wembenyama
00:40:58Didn't appear like Towns
00:41:00Was able to brace his fall
00:41:02And he hit hard
00:41:10They're getting help up
00:41:15And it'll be nice feed inside
00:41:17They're going to challenge it
00:41:19Goes inside
00:41:22And that hard fall
00:41:25Challenge from the Spurs
00:41:27We'll see if it's still a foul
00:41:32The NBA Finals
00:41:34Are brought to you by
00:41:35Disney and Pixar's
00:41:36Toy Story 5
00:41:37This summer
00:41:38The battle is on
00:41:39It's Toys vs. Tech
00:41:41Only in theaters
00:41:42June 19th
00:41:45The Spurs have won the challenge
00:41:47They change it to an offensive foul
00:41:49On Carl Anthony Towns
00:41:51That'll be his first
00:41:53Towns by the way
00:41:54During the regular season
00:41:55He led the NBA
00:41:56In offensive fouls
00:41:58But he's been much better
00:41:59In the playoffs
00:42:00And tonight's officials
00:42:01Scott Foster
00:42:02Jimmy Capers
00:42:03Sean Wright
00:42:03Alternate JB DeRosa
00:42:04Replay officials
00:42:06Zach Zarba
00:42:0712 officials selected
00:42:08To work the finals
00:42:09It's quite an honor for them
00:42:10It's like making an
00:42:11All-NBA as a player
00:42:12We congratulate the officials
00:42:14As Harper gets into the paint
00:42:16Stopped nicely by Bridges
00:42:18Bronson back on the floor
00:42:19For the Knicks
00:42:20Great sign
00:42:21Castle
00:42:23And another foul
00:42:24On Josh Hart
00:42:27Hart's got three fouls
00:42:28In seven minutes
00:42:32Jordan Clarkson
00:42:33Is in the game
00:42:34Clarkson
00:42:34A favorite here
00:42:35Played his high school ball
00:42:37Grew up here
00:42:37In San Antonio
00:42:42Foul trouble for Hart
00:42:44Is a problem for the Knicks
00:42:45Because of the versatility
00:42:46An additional ball handler
00:42:47On the break
00:42:48The way he can
00:42:49Crash the board
00:42:50To get second shots
00:42:52Let's watch how Bronson
00:42:54Runs up the floor
00:42:54There's still a slight
00:42:56Lift as he comes up
00:42:57Hart stays in the game
00:42:58With the three fouls
00:42:59Throws it up for Robinson
00:43:00And it goes in
00:43:01And the foul
00:43:02Cornette was right there
00:43:03To block it
00:43:04And Mitchell Robinson
00:43:06With a broken bone
00:43:07In his right hand
00:43:07A chance for a three-point play
00:43:10And you saw the first time
00:43:11They were able to break it up
00:43:12I think the Spurs defense
00:43:14Is they want to show
00:43:15Up and then get back
00:43:16To the lob
00:43:17You see he's trying
00:43:18To get back there
00:43:19But he gets back there
00:43:20Too late
00:43:21To make a play
00:43:22It's the other one
00:43:23We showed
00:43:23When he timed it perfectly
00:43:25He waited too long
00:43:26To jump
00:43:27Because that pass
00:43:28Actually wasn't high enough
00:43:29But Luke Cornette
00:43:30Was still not able
00:43:31To get there
00:43:32Because he missed time
00:43:33When to go make a play
00:43:34On the ball
00:43:35First free throw of the game
00:43:36For the Knicks
00:43:37And it's Mitchell Robinson
00:43:38Who shot 30%
00:43:39Can't get back to go
00:43:40Harper the rebound
00:43:41Harper's got four boards
00:43:46And at that ten points
00:43:47Off the bench
00:43:48Carter Bryan
00:43:49Another terrific young player
00:43:50Fouled by Clarkson
00:43:54Bryan another rookie
00:43:55He's just 20
00:43:59There's some talented kids
00:44:00On this Spurs rocket
00:44:01Roster
00:44:02He is
00:44:03He's an Arizona player
00:44:04We love those guys
00:44:06Mixed meanwhile
00:44:07In the penalty
00:44:09Already five team fouls
00:44:16Carter Bryan look
00:44:17He looks like he's still
00:44:18In high school
00:44:19With a baby face
00:44:21It's time for tonight's
00:44:22Draft Kings
00:44:23Player Pulse
00:44:24We got Karl-Anthony Towns
00:44:2616 points a game
00:44:28Tonight
00:44:28He's got six
00:44:29Victor women
00:44:30Yama 23.2
00:44:32Tonight
00:44:32He's got seven
00:44:33What do you think legs?
00:44:35I think both guys are off to a start
00:44:37They're gonna get there
00:44:38No question
00:44:39Draft Kings is the number one sports book
00:44:41For live betting
00:44:42Use promo code splash
00:44:43When you sign up
00:44:45Clarkson
00:44:45Brunson
00:44:46Robinson
00:44:47Shamit and Bridges out there for the Knicks
00:44:49Foxen
00:44:49Launches a three-pointer
00:44:51Can't get it
00:44:51Harper comes flying in
00:44:53Both teams have really struggled from three
00:44:56They're combined
00:44:57Eight
00:44:57For 31
00:45:00And you know Mike the Knicks are number one in the postseason
00:45:03Forty percent from out there
00:45:04But they have struggled in the first quarter of so many of these playoff games in the last two rounds
00:45:10Fox gets in
00:45:11Shot is short
00:45:12Robinson the rebound
00:45:13Also two of this
00:45:14No knock on Atlanta
00:45:16And Cleveland and Philly
00:45:17But they have not played a defensive team like this yet in the playoffs
00:45:20Robinson on the follow
00:45:22Shakes his hand after missing the dunk
00:45:25The cell inside Fox
00:45:27Poor transition defense
00:45:28Spurs gonna lay up
00:45:31Fox's first field goal
00:45:32He was 0 for 5
00:45:35You wonder to any extent
00:45:36If that bandage
00:45:37Or that pinky
00:45:39Affected Mitchell Robinson
00:45:40On his ability to finish
00:45:41That putback
00:45:42Because it looked like
00:45:43That was gonna be an easy finish for him
00:45:45And he's normally a great finisher
00:45:47Brunson spins
00:45:48Gets inside
00:45:49Floats it up and good
00:45:51Brunson had missed seven straight shots
00:45:53He's down
00:45:53He's holding his ankle
00:45:54He's hurt now
00:45:55Bryant back up top
00:45:56For the cell
00:45:58And the cell knocks down the three
00:45:59Jalen Brunson screaming at Scott Foster
00:46:02As the next ball timeout
00:46:07This time
00:46:08It's an ankle
00:46:09Hurt the right knee in the first quarter
00:46:11Now the ankle here on the second
00:46:13Jalen Brunson
00:46:14Dealing with a lot here
00:46:16Physically in the first half
00:46:17Comes back from that knee
00:46:19There you see that ankle turning
00:46:22And Luke Cornette steps on it
00:46:24To boot
00:46:27Once again
00:46:27Jalen Brunson
00:46:28Lipping
00:46:29To the Knick bench
00:46:35And just observing Jalen Brunson
00:46:37On the Knicks bench
00:46:38During that last time out
00:46:40He didn't receive any treatment
00:46:41From the medical staff
00:46:43I did see him
00:46:44Lace up
00:46:45His sneaker
00:46:45On that left foot
00:46:47A little bit tighter
00:46:48Mike
00:46:49Alright, Lisa
00:46:50But
00:46:50He stays in the game
00:46:52Just two of nine to start
00:46:54Part of Bryant
00:46:55Putting some good pressure
00:46:56To get it across the timeline
00:46:58Just under the eighth second time
00:46:59Brunson the spin
00:47:01Goes at the rookie
00:47:02Backs up
00:47:02Leans in
00:47:03Floaters up
00:47:03Shot won't go
00:47:05But follows it himself
00:47:08I guess the ankle's doing okay
00:47:09Yeah, it looks like it
00:47:10And you know what's funny about that
00:47:11It looks like Carter Bryant
00:47:12Is pressuring him all over for it
00:47:14Bothering Jalen Brunson
00:47:15He knew exactly where he wanted to go on that
00:47:18And he knew if they stayed single coverage
00:47:20He could get him deep into the lane
00:47:21Offensive foul call against San Antonio
00:47:26The cell his first
00:47:28I like the idea of using Carter Bryant
00:47:30In minutes he's gonna get on Jalen Brunson
00:47:32Because he's very athletic
00:47:34He's got good size
00:47:35But Jalen Brunson can be patient
00:47:37Against the rookie
00:47:38And get him where he wants to
00:47:40That time he walked him down to a spot
00:47:42Where he could get a pushback
00:47:43Brunson has an iron will
00:47:45As he drives against Bryant
00:47:48Little razzle dazzle
00:47:49Backs in
00:47:50Scoots in right-handed
00:47:52Off the glass
00:47:53Oh, what a sweet move
00:47:54From Jalen Brunson
00:47:55And that's exactly what I'm talking about
00:47:57He can use his balance
00:47:59His patience
00:48:00His footwork and then his touch
00:48:01At the end of that
00:48:03Against Bryant
00:48:04Shamit fights over a screen
00:48:06Chasing Fox
00:48:07Aaron Fox with nine to shoot
00:48:09Across the lane
00:48:10Quick jumper
00:48:11Can't get at the fall
00:48:12And Robinson
00:48:13Calls in the rebound
00:48:14And what people don't understand
00:48:16Is that Jalen Brunson
00:48:17While he's quick
00:48:18He's not exactly fast
00:48:19He will use your pressure
00:48:21Against you
00:48:21He will get you leaning one way
00:48:23Just to get back to the other area
00:48:25Boxing falls down
00:48:26Gets rid of the ball though
00:48:29How about the trust
00:48:31Mitch Johnson putting the rookie
00:48:32On Brunson
00:48:33Drives inside
00:48:34And floats it up and in
00:48:35Now he's starting to get the field
00:48:38Kennedy Chalamet
00:48:39And the Nick contingent cheering
00:48:41Harper down the other way
00:48:42Off a main basket
00:48:44Dillon Harper
00:48:45Races up the floor
00:48:46See the frustration
00:48:47On the part of Mike Brown
00:48:48Right there
00:48:49That's not good enough
00:48:50You score on one end
00:48:51You've got to get back
00:48:52Stay matched up
00:48:53You cannot allow those
00:48:55Quick driving lanes
00:48:56Because these guards
00:48:57Are going to attack quickly
00:48:58Mikkel Bridges
00:48:59Able to knock down the shot
00:49:01His second field goal
00:49:02And after you talked about
00:49:03Carter Bryant giving up
00:49:05A bucket or two
00:49:05Miss Johnson went right over
00:49:07To Castle
00:49:08Keldon Johnson
00:49:09And now here comes Wendy
00:49:10Bryan shot in and out
00:49:12Robinson
00:49:12The rebound
00:49:15Brunson has scored
00:49:16The last eight points
00:49:16For the Knicks
00:49:20And a whistle and a foul
00:49:23He is side out
00:49:28Carl Anthony Towns is wired
00:49:30For us here tonight
00:49:32Until the offense catches up
00:49:33We've got to keep playing
00:49:34Defense this way
00:49:35We're at 34% for them
00:49:37We've got to keep playing
00:49:38Defense this way
00:49:39This will win us the game
00:49:40Our offense will always
00:49:41Catch up
00:49:42It did in game one
00:49:42In Cleveland
00:49:43We'll be fine
00:49:46I like it
00:49:47That's the right message
00:49:47Absolutely
00:49:48Legs you mentioned it
00:49:49They were off to a slow start
00:49:50In that first half
00:49:52Down 22
00:49:53With seven minutes to go
00:49:54They relied on their defense
00:49:56To get back in it
00:49:57Chance of let's go Knicks
00:49:58Bad pass on Bridges
00:50:00Even when Benyama
00:50:01Might not have been able
00:50:02To get that one
00:50:03Too high too high
00:50:05Seven turnovers for the Knicks
00:50:07Five for San Antonio
00:50:08Towns getting the rest
00:50:10Robinson has given them
00:50:11Seven good minutes
00:50:12Five rebounds
00:50:13And a bucket
00:50:14As the Knicks
00:50:16Turned it around here
00:50:17In the second quarter
00:50:20Castle
00:50:21Corner
00:50:22Keldon Johnson lines
00:50:23That one up
00:50:24And hits the three
00:50:26His first field goal
00:50:28The longest tenured spur
00:50:30Boy to hit two big ones
00:50:32From the corner
00:50:32In game seven
00:50:33Of the Western Conference
00:50:35Finals
00:50:35It's his favorite spot
00:50:36On the floor
00:50:37Got a little bit of a slow release
00:50:39But he had time
00:50:39On that one
00:50:40Brunson tries
00:50:41From downtown
00:50:42And Benyama the rebound
00:50:43Just his second board
00:50:48Harper back up top
00:50:49Wimby for three
00:50:51Wimby for three
00:50:52Well short
00:50:52Klaxon flips it over the bridges
00:50:55As we're under three to play here
00:50:57In the second
00:51:01The lift from Brunson
00:51:02From the knee injury
00:51:03In the first seed
00:51:04To have gone away
00:51:05Brunson drives inside
00:51:06Kicks it out
00:51:07Shot off the bounce
00:51:08Pulls back
00:51:08Fires
00:51:09And connects
00:51:10Another three pointer
00:51:11For Shamit
00:51:13He's two for four
00:51:14From that distance
00:51:15Knicks back up one
00:51:19Wimby draws the foul
00:51:22As Mitchell Robinson
00:51:23Will pick up his first
00:51:25And this is what we talked about
00:51:26Landry Shamit
00:51:27Keeping that positivity
00:51:29You might not go
00:51:3110 for 11
00:51:31But right now
00:51:32He is two for four
00:51:33From three
00:51:34He's shooting 50%
00:51:35You'll take that any night
00:51:38Jam in his second year
00:51:39With the Knicks
00:51:39Six teams in eight years
00:51:41Traded four times
00:51:42Eight different head coaches
00:51:43Always had to prove himself
00:51:45To his teammates
00:51:46And his coaching staff
00:51:47Boy he has proved himself
00:51:48To the Knicks
00:51:49He's hit some big shots
00:51:51In the playoffs
00:51:52As Wimby hits the first
00:51:54Michelob Ultra
00:51:55Bringing fans
00:51:55Chances to win prizes
00:51:56Throughout the NBA playoffs
00:51:59Scan for your chance
00:52:00To win
00:52:02What's the biggest difference
00:52:03In the second quarter
00:52:04To get the Knicks back in
00:52:06Well I think for me
00:52:07Is when Brunson
00:52:08Reinserted himself
00:52:09Into the game
00:52:10Their offense
00:52:11Settled down
00:52:12Now they gave up
00:52:12Some transition opportunities
00:52:14I don't think
00:52:15The Knicks have been great
00:52:15Getting back in transition
00:52:17And the Spurs have actually
00:52:18Taken a toll
00:52:19But Jalen Brunson
00:52:20Settled them
00:52:21When he had that opportunity
00:52:22To get the middle
00:52:23Of the floor to himself
00:52:24Brunson
00:52:25Back on the bench
00:52:26Alvarado returns
00:52:29When he's great
00:52:30Free throw shooting
00:52:31Continues there
00:52:31Sit next to his dad
00:52:32Who played in those
00:52:33Ninety-nine finals
00:52:34Last time
00:52:35Mixon in the finals
00:52:36He played a total
00:52:37Of nine point three seconds
00:52:40And an OB
00:52:44Shoots over Johnson
00:52:45Well defended
00:52:46Champagne the rebound
00:52:47Champagne the rebound
00:52:49Champagne's got six boards
00:52:51Champagne on Wimby
00:52:53Champagne left wide open
00:52:55Nails a three
00:52:56His third three pointer
00:52:59He hit eleven
00:53:01In a game on New Year's Eve
00:53:03Against the Knicks
00:53:05Again a Brooklyn-born kid
00:53:10Spurs back up four
00:53:11E.J. E.J. E.J. E.J.
00:53:16Now tries to set a screen
00:53:17Bridges off the bounce
00:53:18Floats it out
00:53:19Alvarado
00:53:20His three pointer
00:53:21Got it
00:53:22Jose Alvarado
00:53:23Off the bench
00:53:24With seven points
00:53:25In six minutes
00:53:26And you look at this
00:53:27First half right now
00:53:28The leading scorer
00:53:29In this game
00:53:30Is Dylan Harper
00:53:31A rookie
00:53:33Champagne
00:53:33Fires away
00:53:34Knocks down another
00:53:36Champagne red hot
00:53:37He's got twelve
00:53:38And that was Alvarado
00:53:40Just drifting too far
00:53:42To the lane
00:53:42When you've got Champagne
00:53:44On that side of the floor
00:53:45I know that you want
00:53:46To try to cheat
00:53:47Shoot the gap
00:53:48See if you can get in the lane
00:53:49And make a play
00:53:50But he gave himself
00:53:51Too much recovery space
00:53:53To get back to Champagne
00:53:55When he had just hit a three
00:53:58Castle called for the foul
00:53:59And here's the action
00:54:00It's going away from Alvarado
00:54:02He wants to go down there
00:54:03And bump
00:54:04And help chip
00:54:05On Webinyama
00:54:06On the roll
00:54:06But that's not going to be
00:54:08Your responsibility
00:54:08At that size
00:54:09You've got to stay home
00:54:10With the shooter
00:54:11In the corner
00:54:12And they're already talking trash
00:54:14But I'm really curious
00:54:15To see that pick and roll again
00:54:16Who does have that
00:54:17Low responsibility
00:54:19To not give up that
00:54:20Lock
00:54:21Don't leave that corner
00:54:22If it's Alvarado
00:54:23It's one of the other guards
00:54:25Bridges
00:54:25And Anobi
00:54:26You're going to be able
00:54:27To make a difference
00:54:27Alvarado's not going to do anything
00:54:29On Webinyama
00:54:30On that roll
00:54:31From that spot
00:54:32Brunson
00:54:32Wemby
00:54:34Trying to deflect
00:54:35Brunson
00:54:35In and out
00:54:36Towns grabs the rebound
00:54:38And he's fouled
00:54:39That's going to be
00:54:39The second foul
00:54:40In the last two minutes
00:54:41So Towns will take free throws
00:54:43Knicks have only taken
00:54:44One free throw
00:54:45In the entire first half
00:54:51Castle picks up his second foul
00:54:53Talk about
00:54:54Big men
00:54:55Shooting free throws
00:54:56Well we mentioned
00:54:57Lemonyama
00:54:58Towns
00:54:5889%
00:55:00From the line
00:55:01In the playoffs
00:55:08This transformation during the playoffs
00:55:09A big part
00:55:11Going from a big score
00:55:12To a playmaker
00:55:13Why the Knicks have won
00:55:1411 in a row
00:55:15And they've had
00:55:16One of the great stretches
00:55:18In NBA playoff history
00:55:20You were talking about this
00:55:21Yesterday legs
00:55:22His shots are down
00:55:23But you want to say
00:55:24His
00:55:25Inclusion
00:55:26Is up
00:55:27And as a result
00:55:28He feels important
00:55:29And we talked to him
00:55:30About it yesterday
00:55:31You rarely see a
00:55:3220 point scorer
00:55:33Have his scoring
00:55:34Come down
00:55:34His shots come down
00:55:36But his overall feeling
00:55:37About himself
00:55:38Offensively
00:55:39Go up
00:55:39Because of the way
00:55:40They're utilizing his passing
00:55:42He said he's always
00:55:43Been a playmaker
00:55:44Always felt like
00:55:45He had a lot more skills
00:55:46He said he was jealous
00:55:48Of Nikola Jokic
00:55:49There's all the credit
00:55:50He gets for a playmaker
00:55:52Castle gets inside
00:55:53Pulls back
00:55:54Elbow jumper
00:55:54Short
00:55:56Bounds the rebound
00:55:58Again
00:55:59The shooting percentages
00:56:00Have been pretty low
00:56:01Knicks have gotten hot here
00:56:02On the second stolen
00:56:03By Fox
00:56:04A costly turnover
00:56:05And Fox
00:56:06Throws it down
00:56:08The ball hawking guards
00:56:09Of the San Antonio Spurs
00:56:11Brunson's gonna get
00:56:12A lot of looks
00:56:13With Fox
00:56:14Not so much
00:56:14The physical strength
00:56:15It's the feet
00:56:16And those quick hands
00:56:17And when he tries to strip
00:56:19Break you
00:56:20Downs gets inside
00:56:21Keeps running
00:56:22Jumper won't go
00:56:23Tip misses
00:56:24Castle grabs it
00:56:25Shot clock turned off
00:56:26Mix of it
00:56:27And the penalty
00:56:28For most of this quarter
00:56:29So no fouls to give
00:56:39Six to shoot
00:56:40Fox splits the defense
00:56:42Throws it in the corner
00:56:42Champagny puts it up
00:56:44Pucks it in
00:56:45Champagny red hot here
00:56:47In the first half
00:56:48Final seconds
00:56:48Knocked away
00:56:50And quarter number two
00:56:52Comes to an end
00:56:53Champagny five of six
00:56:54From three point range
00:56:56He's got 15 points
00:56:58And this is coming off
00:57:00A huge game seven
00:57:01For Champagny against OKC
00:57:04He had six threes in that game
00:57:06He already has five
00:57:08Here in his first finals game
00:57:13Coming up at halftime
00:57:15Presented by Kia
00:57:19Yes they're here
00:57:20What an honor to have them
00:57:22Inside the NBA
00:57:23Shaq, Ernie, Kenny and Charles
00:57:25Here in San Antonio
00:57:29Game one of these finals
00:57:31Champagny
00:57:32The New York native
00:57:3315 points in 14 minutes
00:57:37Spurs up here at half
00:57:54First half New York fans
00:57:57Holding their collective breath
00:57:59Because a couple of times
00:58:00Jalen Brunson went down
00:58:02Once with a knee
00:58:03Once with an ankle
00:58:04But he did return
00:58:05Hit a few buckets
00:58:07And got New York back in it
00:58:09But it is 50
00:58:1055
00:58:1248
00:58:12Halftime score
00:58:13After 24 minutes
00:58:15Of the 26 finals
00:58:17San Antonio
00:58:19Up by seven
00:58:20They can thank
00:58:20Julian Champagny
00:58:22For that
00:58:22He's been on fire
00:58:23From three
00:58:25This is the halftime report
00:58:26It's brought to you by
00:58:27Kia, Ernie Johnson
00:58:28Shaquille O'Neal
00:58:28Kenny the Jet Smith
00:58:30And Charles Barkley
00:58:31I don't know
00:58:32Where to start
00:58:33Was it
00:58:34Is it the Champagny
00:58:35First half
00:58:36Because I know
00:58:37What we want to talk about
00:58:39Or what we thought
00:58:40We'd talk about
00:58:40Is Brunson
00:58:41But it's been others
00:58:43So far
00:58:43Yeah, but it's really
00:58:45Been terrible defense
00:58:46On the Knicks
00:58:47Because if you ask
00:58:48To look at his threes
00:58:49There's no reason
00:58:49Why is he wide open?
00:58:51There's no reason
00:58:52To be leaving him wide open
00:58:53But the one thing
00:58:54That surprised
00:58:55That shocked me
00:58:56That's how I thought
00:58:57It would be a huge advantage
00:58:58For the Knicks
00:58:58The Spurs can't guard
00:59:00The pick and roll
00:59:01When they run the pick
00:59:02And roll with Cat
00:59:03But they get something
00:59:04Good every time
00:59:05And we got to gear
00:59:06Caddy's flowers
00:59:06I love the way
00:59:07He's attacking Wimby
00:59:08He got a couple times
00:59:09I thought he got fouled
00:59:11But he's being aggressive
00:59:12To me
00:59:13Because he's the key
00:59:13To the series
00:59:14That the Knicks
00:59:14Are going to win
00:59:15I hope the Brunson thing
00:59:16Is alright
00:59:17But every single time
00:59:19The Knicks run a pick and roll
00:59:20With Carlos and Towns
00:59:22They get something good
00:59:22First half highlights
00:59:24Presented by Kia
00:59:25One second Shaq
00:59:26And we'll get to you
00:59:26But the half time highlights
00:59:28Presented by Kia
00:59:31Jalen Brunson
00:59:3211 points
00:59:32He's just 5 out of 15
00:59:34Again a couple of times
00:59:35He went down
00:59:36Had to leave
00:59:37But then did return
00:59:39Towns got 8
00:59:41Wimby with 9
00:59:42He does have 3 blocks
00:59:43To Aaron Fox
00:59:44Who's struggled
00:59:44In the Oklahoma City series
00:59:46Struggling again tonight
00:59:48He's got 4 points
00:59:49In the first half
00:59:49Just 2 out of 8
00:59:52But the attention
00:59:53Of Shaquille O'Neal
00:59:55Is on Cat
00:59:55And on Wimby
00:59:56What did you make of it?
00:59:57Yeah I'm looking at
00:59:58The battle of the big man
00:59:591's 3 for 8
01:00:005 rebounds
01:00:011's 2 for 8 now
01:00:022.6 rebounds
01:00:03They're playing okay
01:00:04Cat is playing aggressive
01:00:06I think Wimby's being
01:00:07A little too passive
01:00:087-5
01:00:09We know you have to
01:00:10Billy hit that shot
01:00:11But you need you to dominate
01:00:12I love this
01:00:14I love that right there
01:00:15I'm surprised how easy
01:00:16Cat is getting around him
01:00:17But Cat has to understand
01:00:18When you get around
01:00:19The shot blocker
01:00:20You gotta throw it down
01:00:21Right there you know
01:00:22He has to lay it
01:00:22They're playing well
01:00:23I think they can do better
01:00:24I think they will do better
01:00:26But listen
01:00:27You talk about the others
01:00:28This is why I made the term up
01:00:29Yeah I love this right here
01:00:31Hakeem Olajuwon
01:00:32Has a championship
01:00:32Because of others
01:00:34Michael Jordan
01:00:34Has a championship
01:00:35Because of others
01:00:36I have a lot of championships
01:00:37Because of others
01:00:38Champagne
01:00:39And Kobe
01:00:39And shout out to Alvarado
01:00:41He's all playing great too
01:00:41Yeah
01:00:42You know it's impressive also
01:00:45Because one of the things
01:00:46You're concerned with
01:00:47If you're looking at the Knicks
01:00:48Is Carl Anthony Towns
01:00:50Foul situation
01:00:51Only has one
01:00:52And that was on
01:00:52The reversal
01:00:53Of a call
01:00:55Yeah
01:00:55But I said before the game
01:00:56The problem is
01:00:57He don't
01:00:58Wimby doesn't post up
01:01:00Even when they run
01:01:01Little guys at him
01:01:02He's not aggressive
01:01:03When little guys guard him
01:01:05So that's actually
01:01:06Going to play into
01:01:06Cat's hands
01:01:08Well
01:01:09We talked about earlier
01:01:11The pace of the game
01:01:12Ernie
01:01:12And I thought that
01:01:13The San Antonio Spurs
01:01:15Made a mistake
01:01:16In terms of playing too fast
01:01:18I mean
