Saturday June 13th, 2026
Transcript
00:00This is one of the better examples you're going to see of that with a championship potentially on the line.
00:06Jalen Brunson not feeling any of that pressure.
00:10An epic performance in the biggest game of his life.
00:13And an offensive foul call. Brunson pushed off.
00:17That's his first personal and a huge turnover.
00:21And your turnover is Sparrow!
00:27That's all right. And there you see the left hand. It's Castle in the face.
00:34Hurry up. Come on, Knicks.
00:40Even though I'm a painter fan, I would like to see the Knicks win it.
00:47Here comes Brunson again. Back up to heart.
00:51Into the hands of the Knick captain.
00:53Another possession where Dillon Harper doesn't touch the basketball.
00:59Floats it over to Towns.
01:016 out of 24. Harper on Towns.
01:03They're hurrying.
01:04Off foul and shot. Can't get it. Rebound.
01:07The bottle won't go.
01:09And Rundle down with the rebound.
01:11Here's Harper. Racing up the floor.
01:13Goes to the home. Block from behind.
01:15He gets it back.
01:18Wendy fakes.
01:19Strive.
01:22Harper on the bounce.
01:23To the rim right hand and can't get it. Towns of rebound.
01:26And they're down low.
01:28Nicks have numbers at game close.
01:29Oh boy.
01:30Here's Ananogu. Back out to heart.
01:32And I thought about a three.
01:34And Ananogu gets it inside.
01:36Shot blocked.
01:37But it's going to be a goaltend.
01:38Count the bucket.
01:39Wow.
01:41Wow.
01:42The next take a three-point lead with two of seven or eight.
01:48Wow.
01:49My goodness.
01:50He's not in position to cut off that angle and then to play.
01:53Instead, you see the goal that's on the weak side.
01:56Spurs have missed nine of their last ten shots.
02:00Wentman-Yama drives on Towns.
02:03Stops.
02:03Leans in.
02:05And a foul called on Towns.
02:07He's out.
02:08This sixth personal foul.
02:12And Wentman-Yama with a chance to cut it to one at the free-throw line.
02:15Now Mitchell Robinson will return.
02:18And Wentman-Yama right now looks exhausted.
02:22Right here.
02:23Carl Anthony counts as all he can.
02:25He leads forward.
02:26It's a very similar call to what Brooks had just got on that second three-pointer on the up-beat.
02:32Doesn't take much.
02:33But if you're leading forward point A to point B and you create the contact, we're going to get the
02:38call.
02:38Your right leg's the same exact situation.
02:42Wentman-Yama three for three from the free-throw line.
02:46Hicks, Wimmy.
02:47Jinks, Jinks, Jinks, Jinks.
02:51Hicks.
02:53Jinks, Jinks, Jinks.
02:55This is the first.
02:58We talked about Brunson for Wimby.
03:00This is the biggest game of his young career.
03:03And look, on this, now the free-throw box outs are key.
03:07If you're, if you're San Antonio, Mitchell Robinson grabs that offensive rebound, grabs the rebound, do you want to foul
03:14them?
03:15And remember, Wimmy, Mr. Tune.
03:19Hicks, Jinks, Jinks, Jinks, Jinks.
03:23Hicks is tied.
03:25It's not going to go.
03:27Two-point lead.
03:31And he just signaled to the bench.
03:33I think he wants to drag Jalen Brunson.
03:35I think Wimby indicated it.
03:37They want to try to get the ball out of his hands.
03:39And he wants to screen to see what San Antonio does.
03:41They do not.
03:42They just switch.
03:44Masell picks him up.
03:45Six out of 24.
03:46Brunson against Masell.
03:47They better hurry.
03:49He gets inside.
03:50Falling away.
03:51Puts it up.
03:52Side of the way.
03:53Rebound Robinson.
03:54And a 24-second violation.
03:57Brunson way off back to out of the Spurs.
03:59Now get it back.
04:02Sometimes, RJ, you've got to be careful.
04:03There's a fine line between trying to show patience and poise offensively and getting too deep into the clock.
04:10He can't play good action.
04:12Yeah, you don't give yourself an opportunity for a bailout for an extra pass.
04:15What a riveting NBA Finals this has been.
04:19Yeah.
04:22Oh, I agree.
04:25I agree.
04:28Harper, heroics, here in an elimination game.
04:32We're tied again.
04:36Brunson gets away from Castle.
04:39Oh my God!
04:40Jalen Brunson with another answer.
04:44McSlead again.
04:45Even if your castle is that far out of the floor, you can't make Buston have a blow-by.
04:50He's in the lane that easily.
04:52Wimby inside.
04:53Picks it back down the corner.
04:54Box a three-pointer.
04:56He missed it.
04:57Rebound.
04:57We're under a minute to play.
04:59Knicks clinging to this two-point lead.
05:04I'd show you.
05:06And I'm saying it's audio.
05:07Jalen Brunson right now.
05:09Goes where he wants.
05:11Rides inside.
05:12Wicks a pass out.
05:12Wow.
05:13Three-pointer.
05:15Fight for the rebound.
05:16Loose.
05:16Harper comes out with it.
05:18Harper pushing.
05:20Door comes to close.
05:21Leia missed it.
05:22Harper the rebound.
05:24You better hurry.
05:25A foul with 26.1 remaining.
05:29Oh.
05:30So many good looks, but they would not go down for the Spurs.
05:35Man.
05:39They didn't necessarily have to foul it, but three-second difference, but they're going to put Josh Hart at the
05:43line.
05:43Three-second push.
05:45RJ.
05:45Right here.
05:46He, this is what he does in the open floor.
05:48He just did not extend enough to get it high enough on the glass.
05:52And three seconds is not a lot of time difference.
05:54Because an offensive rebound, a shot can go up.
05:57It can bounce high in the air.
05:59So you almost had the foul in that moment because there wasn't enough difference between the shot clock and game
06:04clock.
06:04Josh Hart.
06:05Makes the first one.
06:0713 points.
06:0811 rebounds.
06:10Shabbat comes in.
06:11Mike Brown putting in his perimeter defenders.
06:18Hart, who was so upset when he missed that layup in game four.
06:22Chance with a huge free throw here to put the Knicks up four.
06:27Didn't expect a timeout here for San Antonio.
06:31That one too strong.
06:33Robinson, the rebound.
06:34Back out to Shabbat.
06:35Now they have the foul.
06:37And a foul.
06:38Mitchell Robinson.
06:40With one of the biggest offensive rebounds in Knick history.
06:43One of the biggest offensive rebounds in NBA history right there.
06:47Man.
06:50New York can start to feel it.
06:52OG now with another chance at two big free throws.
06:55So much time remaining.
06:58Too big, too strong.
06:59He just walked with me underneath the rim.
07:02So he negated that length with his size and strength.
07:07Man.
07:08And it will secure another opportunity for the Knicks.
07:12Now a four-point lead.
07:1421.6 remaining.
07:16Spurs still have two timeouts left.
07:18Another missed free throw.
07:20Fight for the rebound.
07:21On the south.
07:22And the Knicks upset.
07:23I know he upset with himself.
07:24But the Spurs will have it.
07:26Exactly 20 seconds remaining.
07:30To Robinson.
07:31An enormous offensive rebound.
07:38Spurs.
07:39Come back.
07:44For all the visitors at the door.
07:46Hey, what you doing?
07:47Jumping in to save the day.
07:48A baby on the move.
07:49And the guy who just can't stay.
07:51The fire that's getting closer.
07:53The break-in preventing.
07:54Whatever it is.
07:55When you have rain, you can be sure that it's protected.
07:57Shop savings now at Amazon.com.
08:00Popeye's $6 big box is back, y'all.
08:02Big news.
08:03Packed with old Louisiana flavor.
08:05It's that juicy, crunchy marinated chicken you love.
08:08with two regular sides and a biscuit for only $6.
08:12I've got chicken from Popeye's.
08:20A little more slack.
08:22Packed in.
08:30Whoever said work smarter, not harder,
08:35didn't realize you could do both.
08:46Another four-quarter gym for the Knicks.
08:49You know, these finals.
08:50But still 20 seconds remaining.
08:52Knicks lead by fours.
08:54First day for the timeout.
08:55Four teams in the penalty.
08:57There are no challenges remaining.
08:58I don't think you necessarily need a three-range hitter.
09:01I think you still have an opportunity to be able to turn the corner,
09:04try to take something to the rim, and throw contact.
09:07You still have enough time to play the foul.
09:12Scott Mossy.
09:16Tonight, that is a two-point game with 16.3 remaining.
09:20What a play from Stavon Castle.
09:27And if there was ever a time for your first bucket,
09:32Castle stayed relentless,
09:34keeping the Spurs within two.
09:41Stavon Castle throws it in.
09:44The inbounder is the one that's getting these fouls.
09:46Certainly happened in game four.
09:48They're in game five.
09:49Just like Ananobi did.
09:51A little different play, obviously.
09:53And now the Knicks will inbound.
09:55Shattered is way in the backcourt.
09:59Mixed through up.
