01:52But now it's time for these two teams to move on.
01:56Game 5, Knicks and Spurs ready to do battle once again.
02:02And good evening, everyone, along with Butchie Jefferson and Tim Legler, Mike Green on hand,
02:06Lisa Salters with us as well.
02:07One of two things will happen tonight.
02:09Number one, the Knicks win and they'll celebrate their first championship in 53 years.
02:14Or number two, the Spurs win, bounce back again and send everybody back to New York for a Game
02:19Нейм шесть лет.
02:20Let's start with New York.
02:22It was a special game and a
02:23special player made the big
02:25play.
02:25But Ogianne Et Tabii it's not
02:27just one player.
02:28He's he merged as one of the
02:29best two week players in these
02:30playoffs.
02:31Well Mike Ogianne and no the
02:32delivered a game four that's
02:33going to be talked about for a
02:35very long time.
02:36But for me it's just a
02:37continuation of a sensational
02:40postseason on both ends of the
02:41floor you know about the impact
02:43and the force with which he
02:45plays as a rim protector and a
02:47versatile defender overall.
02:48И вот он был в свою очередь.
02:49Он был бы сказал, что у нас есть.
02:51В этой игре, который победил.
02:52Как он вставлен на его ученике,
02:54а также в смартах и инстинктах
02:57для его баскетбол.
02:58Он играет лучи в его жизни
03:01в два самых важных матчиках.
03:04Готово, и, для тех, что для того,
03:0662% из-за того, что он в игре.
03:08В общем, для того, что в доминочку играет баскетбол.
03:11Время, в истории в NBA финалово,
03:14только один из ответов,

03:45He's been a force off that bench. They need his presence. It's that determination that force that they're going to
03:52need for a full 48 minutes. The Spurs are going to need their best fourth quarter if they're going to
03:58extend this to a game six. Of course all eyes on Victor Wambanyama. He says they believe they can get
04:06this done and keep their championship hopes alive. National Anthem starting lineups opening tip game five just ahead.
04:17The NBA Finals are brought to you by Ford and trim fire.
04:24This presentation of the NBA Finals will continue after this message and a word from our ABC stations.
04:33In 2026, the NBA proudly celebrates America's 250th birthday. Through service and volunteerism, we honor the spirit, resilience, and unity
04:42that have shaped our nation for two and a half centuries.
04:45Presenting the colors tonight is the San Antonio Firefighters Honor Guard.
04:53Tonight's presentation of the National Anthem is being performed by four-time Grammy-nominated country singer, songwriter, and Texas native,
05:01Mickey Guyton.
05:05Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
05:26whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight?
05:37O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
05:48O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
05:49O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
05:50And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still
06:09there.
06:10Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of
06:39the free

27:02Both coaches going to the benches early
27:04Both benches have been critical for their success throughout the season, throughout the postseason
27:13They're already putting OG on Harper, a bigger defender.
27:17And Anobi with the steal, took it away from Champagne, goes right at Harper, bullies his way in, bank shot
27:22can't get it, Fox keeps it alive.
27:24And the Spurs come the other way. Excellent transition defense. Fox to spin, pass inside, threw it away. Third turnover
27:32for San Antonio.
27:34And I think if you're Keldon Johnson, I'm not sure that you want to go ahead and cut into the
27:39lane at that point.
27:40Darren Fox has to have an outlet pass. You're running that wing. I think you run wider. It's a better
27:45option for the air Fox if he doesn't have a shot.
27:48Alvarado fakes a pass. Fox stays with him, uses, falls down, gets it back. Kicks it out, Brunson. Six to
27:56shoot. Brunson goes at the rookie.
27:58Flips up the shot. Off the mark. No good. Champagne able to get it.
28:02First, or next, rather, 0 for 11 now inside the three-point line.
28:10Look at the score, and there's only three minutes remaining here in the first. Count it!
28:16A 10-point lead for the fifth straight game. The Spurs have a double-figure lead in the first quarter.
28:28Look at that hard, Jalen Brunson. He gets off the ball there. He's having to work so hard just to
28:33find those spots and angles.
28:35And an OB steps back. Can't get it. Robinson hauls in the offensive board.
28:39And this lineup now with Alvarado and Brunson, he really went to it in desperation time in game four.
28:44Going to it here in the first quarter because of how effective it was.
28:48Brunson turns it over. That's four turnovers for New York.
28:51Robinson falls down. Champagne. Corner three.
28:54Long rebound to shot it.
28:59There have been very few easy possessions for the Knicks.
29:03Brunson falling away. Jumper. That goes.
29:06And they're in double figures with just over two minutes remaining here in the first.
29:12Even on that, you feel like it's mission accomplished by the Spurs.
29:15They're making the Knicks work so hard right now, expending so much energy just to get a half-decent look
29:21as Brunson got to his mid-range.
29:25Champagne, wide-open three-pointer.
29:31Champagne now 0 for 2 from three-point range.
29:36Alvarado the runner. Back shot. Can't get it. Robinson another rebound.
29:39Goes back up and draws the foul.
29:41Now, heads up foul, sending Robinson to the line.
29:43We're going to have another timeout.
29:45The Knicks have ten points with 140 remaining in the first.
29:50And Keldon Johnson taking his time, teeing it up, wide open.
29:57Spurs off to an early lead.
29:59And you know who loves it?
30:00The big fella.
30:0618-10. Spurs up eight late first quarter.
30:10Tomorrow night, ABC's Stanley Cup will be in the building in Las Vegas.
30:13Game six of the Stanley Cup final between the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights.
30:18Hurricanes lead at 3-2 as it heads back to Vegas for game six.
30:21Puck drop shortly after 8 Eastern.
30:23John McDonough, Ray Ferraro on the call.
30:29Tim Duncan and Greg Popovich here.
30:31There are three players in the building that have had eight blocks in a finals game.
30:36Duncan's one of them.
30:37Patrick Ewing's one of them.
30:39And Shaquille O'Neal is one of them.
30:41All three of them in the building tonight.
30:43Look, if you get Spurs and you're talking about Knicks, you're talking about basketball royalty.
30:47The difference is, in the last 20-plus years, the Spurs have five championships to show.
30:53And the Knicks are trying to get their first one.
30:57And one of the reasons they have those rings, you looked at that number on the right there, number 20,
31:02manager Nobly.
31:02Talk about a guy that came through in pressure situations.
31:06That's what this young Spurs team has struggled with in this series.
31:10Struggles from line continue.
31:12Of course, the Knicks looking for their first championship since in 53 years, 1973, the last time they won the
31:19title.
31:20Box the crossover, sweet move, pulls up, shot's good.
31:25And that is a lightning crit crossover, super low, hard to create that much separation in the lane on a
31:33crossover dribble.
31:34D. S. D. S.
31:38Alvarado using the Robinson screen.
31:40D. S. Fox guarding Brunson.
31:42Champagne quickly picks him up.
31:44Shot clock winding down again.
31:45Long three-pointer.
31:46Jalen Brunson, the three.
31:50They're three of eight from three.
31:53But one for 13 from two.
31:57Castle, when Minyama, he tries the three-pointer.
32:00Can't connect.
32:01And Anobi comes flying in for the rebound.
32:03Nice job by OG Ananobi because these guards and wings for this first.
32:07Crash from the three-point line.
32:09It's a great blockout.
32:10And a hell ball.
32:16A little jump it at the Knicks free-throw line circle.
32:19Brunson clearly wanted a foul.
32:21Spurs wanted a travel.
32:26It's always nice when no one's happy.
32:28Ah, well, that means the referees typically got right.
32:31That's right.
32:32Our officiating crew tonight, Scott Foster.
32:35His 28th finals game.
32:37Jimmy Capers, his 19th final game.
32:40And Tyler Ford, his third final game.
32:42Foster and Capers have officiated some of the great games in NBA finals history.
32:47For Ford, a big, a big deal to be on the finals.
32:51Again, his third.
33:00Back tip.
33:01Castle able to catch it after his teammate touched it.
33:04Got a two-for-one if they want it here.
33:08Box drives on Shannon.
33:10Looks up at the shot clock down the other end.
33:12The cell, fake, drive, pulls up.
33:14He got hit.
33:15That shot won't count.
33:19Nick's not in the penalty yet.
33:20Side out.
33:22And it'll be his first.
33:27First foul in the last two minutes.
33:28So next one, a penalty.
33:30Now they do not have a foul to give.
33:34Box spins.
33:35Kicks it back out.
33:36Champagne sets, fires.
33:37Hits the three.
33:41Right back up to 10.
33:43Shot clock turned off.
33:44Spurs do not have a foul to give.
33:50Alvarado slips.
33:51That's the second time he slipped.
33:55Brunson with Castle right in front of him.
33:57He spins.
33:58Looking for an opening.
34:00Final seconds, Alvarado can't get it at the ball.
34:03And the first quarter comes to an end.
34:07The Knicks with just four field goals.
34:11Four of 22.
34:1318% absolute suffocating defense from the San Antonio Spurs.
34:18San Antonio came out with the right level of aggressiveness and confidence.
34:24Trying to get this series back to New York.
34:27That's a great start.
34:34Another slow start offensively for you guys.
34:36Just 13 points in that first quarter.
34:38Just what do you think held you guys back?
34:40Not getting stops.
34:41So we've got to go against that defense.
34:44And then just being sharp.
34:45We've got to be more sharp for sure.
34:47How do you think you guys played defensively?
34:48We played good.
34:49We could be a lot better.
34:50We're going to clean it up.
34:51Thank you very much.
34:52Thank you very much, OG.
34:53Mike.
34:53All right, Lisa.
34:55Ananovi and Brunson, the only two that scored for the Knicks.
34:57Shot clock winding down.
34:58Good defense from Alvarado.
35:00Shot won't go from Fox.
35:01Towns the rebound.
35:02Interesting lineup.
35:07How important has Alvarado been in changing this series and getting the Knicks multiple opportunities
35:14because they have a second primary ball handler.
35:17Locked by one Mignola again.
35:19Number four already.
35:21Man, just covering so much ground on that end of the floor.
35:25Knicks just stifled right now.
35:27Zero points in the paint to this point in the game.
35:32Castled to Fox.
35:33Deflected by McBride.
35:35Finds its way to Champagne.
35:36Sets himself.
35:37And hits the three.
35:38His second three-pointer.
35:40And it's a 13-point lead.
35:42In the odd-numbered games, Julian Champagne's played very well.
35:45One and three and doing it again tonight.
35:47His offense is critical because of his spacing ability.
35:52McBride.
35:54Deflected by Wemby.
35:55Out of bounds.
35:55Nick Ball.
35:59And here you go.
36:00When you're Victor Wemby and Yami, you can jump well after the release of the basketball if it's Alvarado.
36:07Look how far away he is.
36:09Ball's out of his hand.
36:10He still gets a piece of that.
36:12And then Champagne on the other end.
36:14It's a great ball move.
36:15The Knicks slow to rotate.
36:17Champagne just so important.
36:18He and Bissell to relieve some of that pressure when the Knicks are scrambling.
36:23Seven to shoot.
36:24Towns drives.
36:26Double.
36:27Finds Shammott.
36:27Shammott goes right up.
36:28Wemby blocked again.
36:30It's a Wemby-Yama block party here in the first half.
36:33But Carl Anthony Towns has two players in the air and avoids contact.
36:39When you have that, and for Shammott, you have to have a better game plan against Wemby when attacking straight
36:45at him.
36:45Castle falls down.
36:47And they call a foul on Alvarado.
36:49He's upset, yelling at Tyler Ford.
36:51He wanted something at the other end.
36:55That'll be a side out.
36:57Alvarado's first foul.
36:59Your point on Shammott's a good, but I think what happened, he was inside the three-point line when that
37:04ball came to him.
37:04He would have had to, like, back up with his dribble, which is probably what he should have done, because
37:08there's no way he's going directly at Wemby-Yama while he's back there waiting on him.
37:13But Carl Anthony Towns had two people in the air on his pump fake, and he avoided all contact to
37:21get that ball to Shammott.
37:23So, to me, when you get guys in the air, take the foul, take the two free throws, let them
37:27worry about the foul trouble.
37:29Shammott sits, Bridges back in.
37:31Alvarado picks up Castle.
37:336 out of 24.
37:35Castle gets in the paint, drives.
37:36Towns right there.
37:37Blocked by Towns.
37:38Wemby saves it.
37:39Castle blocked by Ananobi.
37:41And a 24-second violation.
37:43Excellent defense from the Knicks.
37:47Yeah, that was a great job defensively to recover.
37:50Typically, when Castle gets right here, he's so patient and waiting to release him.
37:55But Carl Anthony Towns actually jumped twice to get that one, and this is just awareness from behind on Ananobi
38:01to get a piece of that and force the violation.
38:04Oh, excellent defense from Harper.
38:068-second violation.
38:09Just the tenacity on the defensive end from the Spurs as the Knicks commit their seventh turnover.
38:16It is literally a drill out here for the San Antonio Spurs.
38:22Sprint, cut him off.
38:23Sprint, cut him off again.
38:25Get him to your body.
38:26Force him to go another direction.
38:28The Knicks still struggling to get that ball across that court.
38:32We've played 14 minutes.
38:33They have 13 points.
38:36Castle, up top.
38:37Wemby drives on Towns, goes inside.
38:39Towns knocks it away.
38:41Another good defensive play from Towns.
38:43Alvarado now drives inside.
38:45Kicks it out in the corner.
38:46Bridges.
38:47McBride.
38:48Towns.
38:49Goes at Wemby.
38:53Good ball deny from Harper.
38:57Alvarado inside with a layup.
39:00That ball was deflected.
39:03Harper, coast to coast, blocked, but a foul.
39:06And once again, to start the game, the Spurs are dominating.
39:13Especially with their defense.
39:18Even when the Knicks forced a turnover, it looked like they had numbers after they got that steal in the
39:24paint.
39:24The recovery speed on the part of San Antonio to once again force a half-court possession right now
39:31where they are so dialed in defensively with their communication.
39:35Harper had 21 points in game four.
39:39That's what I'm talking about.
39:40When this ball is turned over, it looks right here like the Knicks are going to get something good.
39:44Look at the speed of Carter O'Brien.
39:46And now you see everybody flooding back to the lane.
39:49And the closeout by Champagny.
39:51Closeout by Castle.
39:52And finally, Wemby forcing Carl Anthony Towns to get uncomfortable off the dribble.
39:57Just textbook.
40:00Harper, by the way, in the last game.
40:02Youngest player with a 20-point game in finals history.
40:09The five players on the court right now for the Knicks, none of them have scored.
40:15Again, the only two to score, Brunson and Ananobi.
40:21Towns goes at Wemby.
40:22Kicks it out in the corner.
40:23Josh Hart.
40:26Round against Castle.
40:28Late in the shot clock again.
40:30Winding down.
40:31Just gets it off in time and gets it a go.
40:34They had to work so hard to get one to go down.
40:39It's a relief, but they'll take it right now.
40:40They just need something positive to happen on that end as they try to just stay connected
40:47and stay within arm's reach of the Spurs here while they wait for their offense to catch up.
40:52Wemby passed up the first attempt for three.
40:54Now kicks it out.
40:55Harper's going to try another.
40:57Can't get it.
40:57Fight for the rebound.
40:58Tipped.
40:59Towns comes down with it.
41:00Bryan trying to poke it away.
41:01Out of bounds.
41:01Last touch by Towns.
41:04Good physical presence from that other rookie, Carl O'Brien.
41:09There is a lot of grabbing and holding.
41:12I've seen multiple opportunities where referees are letting him play through, allowing that physicality.
41:17But fouls could be called on Wemby and Carl Anthony Towns.
41:20And, RJ, I think we've seen it in this series.
41:22Off ball grabs, on ball, a lot of hands.
41:25I've seen it more tonight when the ball's in the air on a shot.
41:28The amount of contact right now that's taking place as these guys are going after these rebounds.
41:42Towns wanted a push-off.
41:44Wemby sets three-pointers.
41:46Got it!
41:47Victor Womanyama from downtown.
41:49It's a 16-point lead.
41:55And there's the second foul on Wemby.
41:58He's trying to say Towns hooked him.
42:06This is Wemby right here.
42:07And I have said repeatedly throughout this series, there's times when he just squares up.
42:11With that length advantage, he can just rise up anywhere on the floor where he wants to.
42:16Great rhythm on that one.
42:17Mitch Johnson is going to challenge that foul call.
42:20Doesn't want his star to pick up his second.
42:25There's 8-19 remaining in the second.
42:27The Knicks have 15 points.
42:30Here's the play.
42:31Is there a hook?
42:33Perhaps.
42:34Looks like it.
42:35Looks like it.
42:40Will Ferrell, Larry David, Colin Ferrell, Walton Goggins, Linda Cardellini, music from Bruce Hornsby, and so much more.
42:48Jimmy Kimmel Live, new next week on ABC.
42:50Call overturned.
42:52They're saying that initial contact there is marginal, and the hook by Towns, an offensive foul.
42:58So now it's Towns with two fouls.
43:00Wemby still has one, and it's Spurs ball.
43:03And I think the refs got it right.
43:05You could see some judgment calls in there, but ultimately there was a hook.
43:10McBride chasing Harper.
43:12Carter Bryant goes at heart.
43:13Lost the ball.
43:19Carter Bryant needs to keep it simple right there.
43:21Move the basketball if you don't have a look or a straight line attack.
43:26Brunson, Bridges, McBride.
43:31Shot clock again winding down.
43:33Seems every possession.
43:33That's the way for the Knicks.
43:35Kicks it out.
43:35Good pass to the corner.
43:36Bridges knocks down the three.
43:38That's only their sixth field goal compared to nine turnovers.
43:43And one of the few times they've had that dribble penetration from the top, which frees up the corner.
43:50Cornette kicks it out.
43:51Vassell fires away.
43:52In and out.
43:53Towns chases it down.
43:54Mike Brown keeping Towns out there with the two fouls.
43:57Remember, he was in foul trouble in the first minute in game four.
44:00Drives on Castle.
44:01Goes inside.
44:02Layup.
44:03Can't get it.
44:05Heart falls down.
44:06And it's going to go down the other way.
44:09Knicks arguing that it touched Castle last.
44:13But this is that window of time.
44:15Wimby's out of the game.
44:16They've done a good job of attacking Luke Cornette all series long.
44:20Can they get into the paint?
44:21Can they make something happen?
44:23Harper spins back up top.
44:25Castle sets three-pointer.
44:28And Towns with yet another rebound.
44:30He's got eight of those.
44:34Just over five minutes gone by here in the second.
44:37Brunson fakes.
44:39Goes to the rim.
44:40Layup.
44:41Mystic Bryant the rebound.
44:46Harper nine points already off the bench.
44:49Pulls up.
44:50Jump shot.
44:50Oh, he is a bucket maker.
44:54Just got the size advantage on some of the guards for the Knicks.
44:58And he's just so strong.
44:59He can take his time.
45:01Get that little bit of separation.
45:02And that's just tremendous pace.
45:04On that little pull-up jumper.
45:06Didn't rush it.
45:08And Gail Bridges kicks it up top.
45:10Hearts open three-pointer.
45:12That goes down.
45:13Knicks starting to hit their threes now.
45:15Five of 12 from three-point range.
45:18Two for 18 from inside the arc.
45:21A lot of that has to do with Wemby Nyama.
45:26And despite the horrific shooting at Buellenich, you might say, as Cornette turns it over,
45:31in some ways, they should feel very fortunate they're only down a dozen compared to how poorly
45:36they've shot.
45:39Substitutions now.
45:40And it's time for tonight's DraftKings player, Pulse.
45:44Galen Brunson off to a pretty good start offensively.
45:47Not the only one so far for the Knicks as you see Victor Wemby Nyama start to his night.

45:59Chance of Let's Go Knicks.
46:01Again, the large contingent of New York fans.
46:07Brunson against Johnson.
46:08Floats it up.
46:09Shot missed it.
46:10Robinson tips it.
46:10Can't get it.
46:11Cornette knocked it out of bounds.
46:12Knicks will get a new 14.
46:16Knicks don't have a single second chance point either, despite the poor shooting.
46:20That has been something that, in this series, has been a major factor.
46:2518 points a game.
46:27Second chance points for the Knicks.
46:29They don't have any, despite the fact they're shooting 21% for the field.
46:33Bridges to Robinson.
46:36Good ball tonight from Harper.
46:41Bridges floats it in the corner.
46:43Park winding down.
46:44Steps back.
46:45Tries another.
46:46Raises the rim.
46:47Bridges tips it out to Brunson.
46:48Brunson a three-pointer.
46:49That's good.
46:51Haylin Brunson is three for three from long range.
46:54And it's back to nine.
46:55Everybody but Brunson combined in that starting lineup is four for 18.
47:01Wemby misses.
47:10There's McBride.
47:12Plays catch.
47:12Fires away.
47:13Can't hit it.
47:14Heldon Johnson a rebound.
47:18The cell drives inside.
47:20Layup.
47:21Oh, that's no good.
47:22Robinson tips it away.
47:23But they're going to call a goaltend.
47:25Mike Brown looking behind the bench quickly to see if he should challenge it.
47:32To me, if an offensive player would have caught that and dunked it, that would have been fine.
47:37We're going to get a second look at it.
47:44It's hard to tell from that angle did it clear the rim on that side.
47:50Oh, it's still above the cylinder.
48:00Fox now, the latest to Chase Brunson.
48:03Brunson gets inside, pulls up, shot, rattles it in.
48:05He's got 13 points.
48:08And they might want to go back to taking it out of his hands right now.
48:11He's getting hot.
48:12He's seeing single coverage.
48:14He knows his team is struggling.
48:15Jalen Brunson, even by his standards right now, very aggressive, looking for shots.
48:20Wemby misses the three.
48:22Knicks come the other way.
48:26The cell now on Brunson.
48:30Johnson lurking to help.
48:32Brunson spins away.
48:34Gets to the baseline.
48:37Five over 24.
48:39Jab step.
48:40Double team.
48:40Jumper.
48:41It's good.
48:42Bailin Brunson, red hot here in the second.
48:45And what was a 16-point lead has been cut to seven.
48:49And they've changed their coverage on him.
48:50They're not trying to get it out of his hands.
48:52That time, there was a second defender running out of.
48:55Keldon Johnson has to close that space if he's got help coming.
48:59Nice defense from Robinson.
49:00Wemby jumping it to himself.
49:05He's got nine points, eight rebounds, and five blocked shots.
49:10Robinson pokes it away.
49:12Shot clock winding down.
49:13He's going to have to put it up.
49:14Instead, Fox fires away.
49:15And Fox hits it as the shot clock expires.
49:26Still electing just to switch these.
49:29Jalen Brunson is getting where he wants to on the floor right now.
49:32Brunson gets in the paint again.
49:34Tries to get it to Robinson.
49:35It was not expecting it, but there's a foul.
49:38Does he call it on the pass, or was it a shot?
49:41It appeared Brunson was throwing a pass to Robinson.
49:44It looked like he was shooting a shot.
49:46As one Monyama picks up his second.
49:48And I don't understand the strategy right now, Brunson, from this regard.
49:51I have felt throughout the series, when they've gotten leads,
49:54it's almost as if they're worried about the three-point shooting.
49:58So you play him with one guy.
49:59But right now, he's the only guy that has it going offensively.
50:03If I'm Mitch Johnson in the Spurs, I'm forcing a ball out of his hands
50:07and see who else can go make a play or a shot right now for the Knicks.
50:10I agree, but also, you have to give him different looks.
50:13Because if you give him steady looks for a full 48 minutes,
50:16so there are going to be times where you can seed
50:19and allow your great defenders to play one-on-one.
50:23When he starts beating, you go.
50:25But you've got to switch up the looks.
50:26It's got to be some double teams.
50:28It's got to be some shows.
50:29If Brunson sees the same look consistently, he will start beating you.
50:34It's one of two.
50:35There's only been ten total free throws taken here in the first half.
50:39Knicks have missed three.
50:41Two of them from Robinson.
50:43Fox whips a pass to the corner.
50:45Castle sets.
50:46Comes up short.
50:47Man and Obi the rebound.
50:50So Carl Anthony Townsend, Wimby, Bo playing with two fouls.
50:53How much more do they play here in this second quarter?
50:56Bridges right back to Brunson.
50:58Wimby looking to help.
51:01Brunson with Fussell on him.
51:03Up top, Bridges fires away.
51:05Connects on a three.
51:10Nick slowly clawing back into it.
51:12Six-point game.
51:13Two and a half to play.
51:14Here on the second.
51:16Castle goes inside.
51:17And that's going to be three fouls on Towns.
51:22A big foul right there for Carl Anthony Towns as we have a timeout.
51:27Spurs led by as many as 16.
51:29Nick storming back.
51:30Free throws coming up for San Antonio.

52:05And throughout the New York tri-state area,
52:06especially in the five boroughs, watch parties, packed watch parties
52:11throughout Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island.
52:15Jon Stewart is in the middle of a watch party.
52:19He just gave up his location.
52:21All the people in the West Village are going to start looking for Jon Stewart.
52:26And the celebrities here in San Antonio, as we said, there's a huge contingent of Knick fans here.
52:33We mentioned the Knicks trying to end the championship drought in 53 years as Castle knocks down the free throw.
52:41And that's Castle's first point.
52:44But Castle has been part of a spectacular defensive effort from San Antonio here in the first.
52:52Still 2.34 left in this first half.
52:58Spurs a perfect 6-for-6 from the line.
53:04Jalen Brunson has come alive.
53:07He's got half the Knick points.
53:10Bridges gets a little room.
53:12That one away off.
53:13Champagne hauls in the rebound.
53:15It's a crucial two minutes.
53:17No Wimby, no Carl Anthony Towns.
53:20Knicks down by 8.
53:21Can they keep it within reach?
53:23Castle comes up short.
53:24Fight for the rebound.
53:25Robinson lost it, but Brunson right there.
53:27Knicks looking to push.
53:29They don't want to face that half-court defense.
53:33Brunson.
53:34Up top hard.
53:36Swing the bridges.
53:37Clean look.
53:38In and out.
53:39Champagne grabs another rebound.
53:40He's got 5.
53:418 points, 5 rebounds for Champagne.
53:45He had a very good game.
