00:00Yeah, vibes were different in the building,
00:01and certainly they were getting hammered.
00:03And then, Joe, the Wu-Tang Clan came out at the half
00:07and reunited the arena out there.
00:10And the second half, they never looked back here.
00:13By the way, if you want to get blunt,
00:15at least they get to see the Wu-Tang Clan at the halftime,
00:17and then we'll roll out by the late third quarter,
00:19down 30 points or a bit.
00:20They're down 20 points in the fourth quarter
00:22and still came back 107-106.
00:24And again, some of you might be tuning into this program
00:27this morning, Joe,
00:28and they didn't know the outcome
00:30because the Spurs won easily,
00:31and they go back to San Antonio 2-2.
00:33Didn't happen.
00:35One-point victory for the Knicks.
00:3714 points in the third quarter.
00:3816 in the fourth quarter.
00:40They even had a lead of one point under, what,
00:4310 seconds to go and gave up a crazy rebound,
00:46which OG Ananobi had the fingertip from God.
00:50Bang!
00:51107-106 win for the Knicks,
00:53and they ain't looking back up 3-1 now, Joe.
00:56Imagine you score 76 points, Donnie,
01:01in the first half on the road in the garden
01:04to come out and only score 14 points in the third
01:09and 16 in the fourth,
01:11and somehow think you might have been robbed.
01:13That is hilarious.
01:15That is, as good as it was a win for the Knicks,
01:18this is about as devastating a loss
01:21as you are going to get for an organization
01:23and for a young organization
01:25like with these players on the San Antonio Spurs.
01:28I don't know how you'd come back from that.
01:29I really don't.
01:30Like, it was a terrible third quarter for the Spurs,
01:33but again, it's like, yeah,
01:34well, we didn't really give up a ton here,
01:36and we're still up 15 entering into the fourth quarter.
01:39Oh, yeah, let's extend it to 20.
01:41It's almost, it's impossible.
01:43That's why you see, like,
01:44the biggest comeback in the history of the NBA Finals.
01:47That's not supposed to happen.
01:48Like, almost, Joe, you figure.
01:49Every single thing has to go right for one side of the Knicks.
01:53Every single thing has to go wrong for the Spurs,
01:56and it did last night.
01:57Let's hear from Webb and Yama
01:58on that post-game press conference
02:00on maybe what did go wrong.
02:01Can you just explain how that thing fell apart
02:04in the fourth quarter?
02:07I think it began before that.
02:14Third row in the left.
02:15Can't really explain it right now.
02:16I don't know.
02:17I think it's just, I mean, execution,
02:21greediness of some sort.
02:24We clearly weren't the most hungry in the second half.
02:27Like, we talk about, Joe,
02:29like, the back and forth of the game.
02:30There's ebbs and flows in the NBA.
02:31We do know this.
02:31Hey, 10-point lead, nothing can erase it.
02:33We get that.
02:34But in this type of environment,
02:35with that type of lead,
02:36with so much on the line,
02:37and also, Joe,
02:38the execution was flawless
02:40in the first half of the Spurs.
02:42And look like, Joe,
02:43they had no idea
02:44what happened in the second half.
02:46What did you get from your point of view
02:47happened in the second half?
02:50Well, I thought he nailed it there
02:51with the back half of his answer
02:53with greed,
02:54because that's what it was.
02:55There was,
02:56I think it was a lack of coaching,
02:58and I don't know why they were,
03:01granted,
03:02it was a great shooting first half,
03:03but that's an anomaly.
03:05You weren't going to keep shooting
03:06from three as well as you did.
03:09So, you know,
03:10and Wendby,
03:11where were you?
03:1224 points,
03:1313 rebounds.
03:14Donnie,
03:14he was 9 of 25 from the field.
03:16When your best player
03:18isn't showing up,
03:19and yet you still seem to have
03:22a double-digit lead,
03:23well, then it's up to everybody else
03:25to make sure that,
03:26I don't know,
03:27you don't give up that lead.
03:29You know what you don't do?
03:30Is you don't give up
03:31empty possessions
03:32by continuing to shoot
03:33three after three
03:35after three
03:36that does not go in.
03:37And you gave,
03:38the Knicks won the game,
03:40but the Knicks were handed
03:41this game by the San Antonio Spurs.
