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.

00:13:17Start it right
00:13:18Start it right
00:13:18Start it right

00:13:23Wait on it
00:13:272026 NBA finals underway
00:13:30For the Knicks and the Spurs
00:13:32Last time the Knicks were in the NBA finals
00:13:3527 years ago against the San Antonio Spurs
00:13:39Jalen Brunson's first shot of his finals career
00:13:42goes down
00:13:42That's not a coincidence
00:13:43They go to Brunson right off the bat
00:13:45That set action bringing him off a down screen
00:13:48with Wemby matched up on Cat at the three point line
00:13:51De'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 Wemby Nyama
00:14:00Stops pulls up
00:14:01Elbow jumper
00:14:02That one goes
00:14:03So the two stars get off
00:14:04By knocking down their first shots
00:14:06And their four wins
00:14:07In the conference finals
00:14:08For the San Antonio Spurs
00:14:09He averaged 13 shots in the first half
00:14:12When he comes out and sets the tone
00:14:15And aggressive
00:14:15Their team is in a much better place
00:14:17Towns 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
00:14:33That has happened throughout the playoffs
00:14:35Continues with this start
00:14:37And a theme we're going to be talking about
00:14:38Throughout 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
00:14:47But Minyama showing his handle
00:14:49Showing his agility
00:14:50Can'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
00:15:02In this series
00:15:03Is Carl Anthony Towns guarding Wimby
00:15:05You do not want Carl Anthony Towns in foul trouble
00:15:09Towns
00:15:09Misfires
00:15:10Although Mitchell Robinson
00:15:11The backup center again
00:15:12Is set to play
00:15:13How much he can play
00:15:14How effective
00:15:15Still to be determined
00:15:16With that broken bone in his hand
00:15:18When Minyama turns it over
00:15:19Knicks have a three on two
00:15:20And an OB goes in with four stops
00:15:23And gets it a go
00:15:24As when Minyama got there
00:15:25Just a tad late
00:15:26And I actually think
00:15:27That's the best way to play Wimby
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
00:15:35That's going to pick you apart
00:15:36With 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
00:15:43Are excellent defensively
00:15:44They get so much notice
00:15:45For their offenses
00:15:46When Minyama
00:15:47Falling away
00:15:48Difficult shot
00:15:49Back the rebound
00:15:50And looks to push
00:15:51Knicks want to play
00:15:52As 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
00:16:11Hart drives up
00:16:12When Minyama
00:16:14They change their mind
00:16:16All the time
00:16:16When they drive to the basket
00:16:17Against Wimby
00:16:18A lot of U-turns
00:16:21Dangerous pass
00:16:22Towns somehow holds on
00:16:23Ball knocked away
00:16:25Towns gets it back
00:16:25Hart this time
00:16:27Doesn't have
00:16:27When Minyama
00:16:28And banks it home
00:16:30Boy 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
00:16:36Attack them
00:16:37You just have to find
00:16:38Different angles
00:16:38And opportunities
00:16:39When he's away
00:16:40From the basket
00:16:41Like he was right there
00:16:42The cell
00:16:43To Wimby
00:16:45Fox
00:16:46Fox lines up
00:16:48His three-pointer
00:16:48Can't get that to go
00:16:49Hart grabs yet another rebound
00:16:51That's his third already
00:16:52And one of the leading
00:16:53Rebounders in the playoff
00:16:55Goes right at
00:16:55When Minyama
00:16:56Blocked by Wimby
00:16:58Castle picks it up
00:16:59Comes the other way
00:17:02When Minyama
00:17:02Three-pointer
00:17:03Got it
00:17:07And in that sequence
00:17:09The uniqueness
00:17:09Of Victor
00:17:10Wimby
00:17:11Yama
00:17:11Able to meet
00:17:12Josh Hart at 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
00:17:21Wimby lurking
00:17:22Hart drives
00:17:24Kicks it
00:17:24Mananobi
00:17:25Up top
00:17:26Brunson
00:17:28Shot clock winding down
00:17:29Brunson bumped by
00:17:30Champagny
00:17:31Leans in
00:17:31Shot blocked
00:17:32From behind
00:17:34But a 24-second violation
00:17:35Anyway
00:17:36And it's going to be
00:17:37Spurs ball
00:17:39And I like Josh Hart
00:17:40Because what you also
00:17:41Want to do is try
00:17:42And get him into foul trouble
00:17:43Watch him go straight
00:17:44To his body
00:17:44Trying to draw a foul
00:17:46But if you don't get that
00:17:47Wimby's going to get that
00:17:48And he went three or four
00:17:50Different ways
00:17:50To try to get Wimby
00:17:51To turn around
00:17:52And swivel 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
00:18:05A bunch of games
00:18:06Like the Knicks have
00:18:07In the last month
00:18:08You know that wind
00:18:09Is affecting them
00:18:10Towns lays that up
00:18:11And the Knicks have played
00:18:12Four games in the last
00:18:1423 days
00:18:16Incredible
00:18:16Because they had
00:18:17The back-to-back sweeps
00:18:19They've won 11 in a row
00:18:20And they've got a
00:18:21Five-point lead to start
00:18:22Timeout San Antonio
00:18:26HQ
00:18:27Here's Mitch Johnson
00:18:28Before the game
00:18:30More than anything
00:18:31The together thing
00:18:34And the communication thing
00:18:35Right
00:18:36Everybody's going to be
00:18:37A little amped up
00:18:37But just continue to
00:18:39Channel that energy
00:18:39In there
00:18:40But do not fight
00:18:41That adrenaline thing
00:18:42Do not fight that
00:18:43Energy thing
00:18:43Okay
00:18:45Simple plays
00:18:46Will feel like
00:18:47Highlights
00:18:48Hit singles
00:18:49Does feel like
00:18:49Home runs
00:18:5239-year-old Mitch Johnson
00:18:53Only the second coach
00:18:54To lead the Spurs
00:18:55To 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
00:19:02Coaching changes
00:19:03In the NBA
00:19:04While Popovich
00:19:06Directed the Spurs
00:19:07For all that time
00:19:09Jalen Hawk was in
00:19:10For the first time
00:19:10Keldon Johnson
00:19:11The NBA's sixth man
00:19:12Stolen by Bridges
00:19:14Second turnover
00:19:15For San Antonio
00:19:16At times
00:19:17That has been
00:19:17A little problem
00:19:18For this younger team
00:19:19As Towns gets past
00:19:21Wembenyama
00:19:21Layup is good
00:19:22You have to love
00:19:23That first and next
00:19:24Play fast
00:19:25That means
00:19:26The Spurs
00:19:26Can't necessarily
00:19:27Get back
00:19:28Set up
00:19:29Look at you
00:19:30And execute their defense
00:19:31Carl 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
00:19:43At five
00:19:43Castle
00:19:44Can't get it
00:19:45Long rebound
00:19:45Brunson
00:19:46But a whistle
00:19:47And a foul
00:19:47And it's gonna go
00:19:49Against Josh Hart
00:19:49I think it might go
00:19:51Against Carl Anthony Towns
00:19:52Do they
00:19:53Because it
00:19:56Oh okay
00:19:59Oh you see
00:19:59One
00:20:00No
00:20:00Now it's the other
00:20:01Direction
00:20:01Mitch Johnson's
00:20:03Confused
00:20:03Josh Hart
00:20:04Was upset
00:20:04He thought it was
00:20:05Called on him
00:20:06They put number
00:20:07Three out
00:20:08And the foul
00:20:10Still has not been
00:20:11Determined
00:20:12Yeah
00:20:12Look like they
00:20:13Pointed and said
00:20:14Right here
00:20:15At first
00:20:15When the whistle blew
00:20:16Like stay at this end
00:20:18In other words
00:20:19So it is
00:20:20Keldon Johnson
00:20:21Number three
00:20:21On the Spurs
00:20:22Everybody thought
00:20:23Including both benches
00:20:24It was number three
00:20:25On the Knicks
00:20:26Brunson brings it up
00:20:27That's gonna be
00:20:28A fun matchup
00:20:28Castle
00:20:29A spectacular defender
00:20:30Mark throws it up top
00:20:32Towns
00:20:33Nice fake
00:20:33Goes right at Wembe
00:20:35Layup is up
00:20:35And can't get it
00:20:37Snatched by the cell
00:20:38There comes Castle
00:20:39The other way
00:20:42Harper goes right
00:20:43At 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
00:20:54Is elite on the defensive end
00:20:56Especially if you compare
00:20:57Them against OKC
00:20:59Who was also great
00:20:59Where they're different
00:21:01Than OKC
00:21:02I believe is their length
00:21:03The length of Mikael Bridges
00:21:05The length of OG Ananobi
00:21:06If you have an errant pass
00:21:08Those players have the ability
00:21:10To get in those passing lanes
00:21:11And create steals
00:21:12And opportunities
00:21:13Castle goes right at
00:21:14Shot is up
00:21:15And rolls in
00:21:18He's such a physical guard
00:21:19He wants to get two feet
00:21:20Into paint
00:21:21He's so patient
00:21:22Once he gets down there
00:21:23Uses that shoulder
00:21:25To create a little bit
00:21:26In a separation
00:21:26Gosh Hart's three-pointer
00:21:28Off the mark
00:21:29He will have that
00:21:29Throughout these finals
00:21:31They'll leave him open
00:21:32Hart has not shot well
00:21:33From three-point range
00:21:34Keldon Johnson
00:21:35Can't get it
00:21:35Hart snatches
00:21:36Yet another rebound
00:21:38He's got five rebounds already
00:21:41Bridges lobs it up top
00:21:43Brunson to Towns
00:21:46Johnson there
00:21:47But Wimby lurking
00:21:48Pass inside
00:21:49Deflected and stolen
00:21:50Knicks with their first turnover
00:21:52Harper
00:21:53Keldon Johnson inside
00:21:55Keldon Johnson inside
00:21:55Can't get it
00:21:56To fall
00:21:58And Josh Hart upset
00:22:00Another whistle and a foul
00:22:01That's going to be two fouls
00:22:02On Josh Hart
00:22:03And even there
00:22:03Castle didn't
00:22:04Finish that
00:22:05But again
00:22:06So patient
00:22:07When he gets
00:22:08He rarely releases the ball
00:22:09The first time
00:22:10Around the rim
00:22:11He's going to be patient
00:22:12Sometimes it'll be
00:22:13A step through
00:22:14Sometimes
00:22:14An up and under
00:22:16Right there
00:22:16He had the leverage
00:22:18On Josh Hart
00:22:19And could get that
00:22:19To the rim
00:22:20Because of the presence
00:22:21Of Wimby
00:22:22This 21 year old
00:22:23Castle
00:22:23He is a future
00:22:24All-star
00:22:25And sometimes
00:22:26Can get overshadowed
00:22:27Certainly not here
00:22:28In San Antonio
00:22:29As he knocks down
00:22:30The first
00:22:30Tonight's coming up
00:22:32Upcoming NBA
00:22:33Final schedule
00:22:34Friday on ABC
00:22:35We'll have game two
00:22:36Right back here
00:22:378.30
00:22:38Eastern time start
00:22:39And then Monday
00:22:40Game three
00:22:41Series shifts
00:22:42To Madison Square Garden
00:22:43In New York
00:22:44Also
00:22:448.30
00:22:45Eastern
00:22:46Castle in his
00:22:47First playoffs
00:22:48Has been
00:22:49Magnificent
00:22:5018 points
00:22:51Seven and a half
00:22:52Assist
00:22:53Five rebounds
00:22:54He's an excellent
00:22:54Rebounder for a guard
00:22:57And Mitch Johnson
00:22:58Always says
00:22:59Great rebounding guards
00:23:00Can be game changers
00:23:01And it really helps
00:23:02San Antonio
00:23:08Harper also
00:23:09An excellent defensive player
00:23:10Brunson
00:23:11Finds some room
00:23:12Kicks it out
00:23:13And an OB
00:23:13Luke Cornett's in
00:23:15And an OB 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
00:23:34Ananobi
00:23:35Ahead to Brunson
00:23:36Again
00:23:37Knicks look to push
00:23:38Excellent transition defense
00:23:40One 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
00:23:49To start
00:23:50The cell
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
00:23:56We'll go down
00:23:57We'll go down the other way
00:24:00Kelvin Johnson
00:24:01His second foul
00:24:02Fox comes back in
00:24:04Champagny comes back in
00:24:06And the reason why
00:24:07It's so key for them
00:24:08To play fast
00:24:09You have a defensive
00:24:10Player of the year
00:24:11You have elite defensive
00:24:12Guards in front of him
00:24:13If you allow their defense
00:24:15To get set
00:24:15Your percentages go down
00:24:17Across the board
00:24:18You gotta play fast
00:24:20Before that defense is set
00:24:21Do you think the Spurs
00:24:22Right now are rushing
00:24:23A little bit offensively
00:24:24It seems like
00:24:24A lot of these
00:24:25One pass three point shots
00:24:27Are shots they can get
00:24:28Later
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
00:24:37By Bridges
00:24:38But a foul
00:24:39Well he stopped
00:24:40What would have been
00:24:41A highlight block
00:24:41But Dylan Harper
00:24:43Excellent defense
00:24:44And he'll shoot too
00:24:47And again
00:24:48Brunson gets in
00:24:49Great anticipation
00:24:51By the rookie Harper
00:24:52And this is what
00:24:53You're supposed to do
00:24:54If you're Mikael Bridges
00:24:55That's a good foul
00:24:56Make him earn
00:24:58Two 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
00:25:04From 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
00:25:13Gem
00:25:13For the San Antonio Spurs
00:25:16As Mitchell Robinson
00:25:17Will make his appearance
00:25:18And again
00:25:19Robinson
00:25:19Injured his
00:25:20Right hand
00:25:21It's a broken bone
00:25:24In the pinky area
00:25:26And they've got
00:25:26As you can see
00:25:27That brace on
00:25:28It'll be interesting
00:25:28To see how
00:25:29Affects that
00:25:30In terms of him
00:25:30Grabbing the ball
00:25:31He has been
00:25:32A game changer
00:25:33For the Knicks
00:25:33Off the bench
00:25:37Harper hits a pair
00:25:38The Knicks lead
00:25:39Cut to one
00:25:40The Mitchell Robinson
00:25:41Had ten
00:25:42Offensive rebounds
00:25:44In a game
00:25:44Against the Spurs
00:25:45Earlier this season
00:25:48Alley-oop
00:25:48Broken up by Cornette
00:25:50Luke Cornette
00:25:51With an excellent
00:25:52Defensive play
00:25:52Harper
00:25:53On the run again
00:25:54Gets inside
00:25:55Layup scud
00:25:55And a foul
00:25:56Dillon Harper
00:25:57Takes it to the goal
00:25:58And a chance
00:25:59For a three-point play
00:26:05Well this is so well done
00:26:06By 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
00:26:15Dillon Harper's about
00:26:16I think this is one
00:26:17Of the strongest
00:26:18One-and-done guards
00:26:19We have ever seen
00:26:20Come into this league
00:26:21The way he can play
00:26:22Through contact
00:26:23In the paint
00:26:24Of course the son
00:26:25Of five ring ron
00:26:27One 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
00:26:38Of the floor as well
00:26:39Tenacious defender
00:26:40Again just 20 years old
00:26:45And an obie calls
00:26:46For 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 to the fall
00:26:53Cornette
00:26:54Tips it
00:26:55Luke cornette's already
00:26:57Made a couple of good
00:26:57Plays off the bench
00:27:00Fox whips it
00:27:01Harper
00:27:02Hits a free
00:27:04Dillon Harper
00:27:05On fire
00:27:05In his first finals game
00:27:08That's one
00:27:09Rambunctious rookie
00:27:10And mike brown
00:27:11Might want to think
00:27:12About a timeout
00:27:13Because they're making
00:27:14A run with wimby
00:27:15Out the game
00:27:16And shaman answers back
00:27:18Shaman who was spectacular
00:27:19In the conference finals
00:27:21He was 11 of 12
00:27:23From three point range
00:27:25Champagny tries to answer
00:27:27And does
00:27:27Now the threes
00:27:29Are falling for both teams
00:27:30And you got
00:27:31Champagny and Landry
00:27:32Shaman
00:27:33Jawing at each other
00:27:34Already
00:27:35Kind of loved that
00:27:36Nine minutes in
00:27:37Of game one
00:27:38Brunson
00:27:39Nice 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
00:27:51Against the Knicks
00:27:52The best scoring game
00:27:53Of his career
00:27:53Against him
00:27:54In the regular season
00:27:56Harper gets a little
00:27:57Overaggressive
00:27:59And he'll pick up
00:28:00His first
00:28:01What a performance
00:28:02Off 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
00:28:30To play
00:28:30When manana
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
00:28:36It's first
00:28:36We're playing a little fast
00:28:37Kind of shooting early
00:28:39The Knicks
00:28:40Are starting to settle in
00:28:42I think you've got
00:28:42To get acclimated
00:28:43To playing against
00:28:44Wimby
00:28:45The first time you see him
00:28:46The first time you play
00:28:47Against each other
00:28:48It's like everyone's
00:28:49Kind of sparring
00:28:50Right now
00:28:51Well spurs went
00:28:52On an 11-3 run
00:28:53With one manana
00:28:55On the bench
00:28:56And they showed
00:28:57How good they are
00:28:58How they're just
00:28:58So much more
00:28:59Than their star player
00:29:00During the season
00:29:01When he missed
00:29:02Brunson pulls up
00:29:03His shot
00:29:03In and out
00:29:04Can't get it
00:29:05Before
00:29:05Robinson tries to get it
00:29:06Champagne has it
00:29:07Jalen Brunson
00:29:08Just one of seven
00:29:09To start
00:29:09Knicks now
00:29:10Seven of twenty
00:29:13Champagne
00:29:13Extra pass
00:29:14Harrison Barnes
00:29:15A former champion
00:29:16Out 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
00:29:25Was released
00:29:26As Barnes
00:29:27Got knocked down
00:29:28And he's gonna take
00:29:29One free throw
00:29:31Brunson's holding his knee
00:29:32Right now
00:29:35Jalen Brunson holding
00:29:37That right knee
00:29:40He's looking over
00:29:41At the bench
00:29:44He is one that
00:29:44Never wants to come out
00:29:47But he needs to come out
00:29:49And not a good sign
00:29:50When he asked
00:29:51To come out
00:29:51And there you see
00:29:53The fallback 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
00:30:00Getting minutes off the bench
00:30:01And that is a heavy limp
00:30:03By Jalen Brunson
00:30:04And that's when you're
00:30:05Most vulnerable
00:30:05When you're standing
00:30:06In a relaxed state
00:30:07Someone falls back
00:30:08Into your knee
00:30:09No telling
00:30:10How much he
00:30:11Hyper-extended it
00:30:12At this point
00:30:12But he's definitely
00:30:13In distress
00:30:13Fox poked it away
00:30:15McBride
00:30:16Regathers
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
00:30:30At Brunson
00:30:31And scores again
00:30:32Ten points
00:30:33In six minutes
00:30:34And the Knicks need
00:30:35Timeout
00:30:36It's a ten point lead
00:30:37And a seventeen point
00:30:38Turnaround
00:30:45Something early
00:30:47To keep your eye on
00:30:48Right here
00:30:48Jalen Brunson
00:30:50Taking this shot
00:30:51To the knee
00:30:52As he looks up
00:30:52At the rim
00:30:53You see him
00:30:53Immediately 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
00:31:00On 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
00:31:12For Knicks
00:31:14Jalen Brunson
00:31:14Walking back
00:31:15To the Knicks locker room
00:31:17After taking a shot
00:31:18To his right knee
00:31:19Just a few moments ago
00:31:20You could see right away
00:31:21That he was
00:31:23In some pain
00:31:23I will keep you updated
00:31:24Mike
00:31:25As I learn more
00:31:27All right
00:31:27Thank you
00:31:27Lisa Bridges
00:31:28Tips that in
00:31:29Obviously that's
00:31:29The nightmare scenario
00:31:31But we'll see what
00:31:32Go back and work on him
00:31:33Knicks certainly hoping to get him back
00:31:34As soon as possible
00:31:35As Champagne
00:31:36Gets it to
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
00:31:42Goes to Alvarado
00:31:44Jose Alvarado
00:31:45Picked up mid-season
00:31:46The New York native
00:31:47His first year
00:31:47With the Knicks
00:31:52We'll get some extra minutes
00:31:53With Brunson
00:31:54Back in the locker room
00:31:57Shannon
00:31:58Looking 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
00:32:08Wembenyama to him
00:32:09It looked like at one point
00:32:10There's gonna be two defenders
00:32:11On 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
00:32:18Close out
00:32:18Before they could swing it
00:32:19For a three
00:32:19Well and what he did
00:32:20What Cat's countered to that
00:32:22Is that he takes it
00:32:23Into the post
00:32:23So whenever
00:32:24Wembeny's guarding him
00:32:25If they switch
00:32:26Take that small player
00:32:27Into the post
00:32:28And be a playmaker
00:32:29From that position
00:32:30Castle back in
00:32:32Barnes sits down
00:32:33Harper putting pressure
00:32:34On Alvarado
00:32:36Finds Towns
00:32:37Shot clock at five
00:32:39Alvarado
00:32:40Thought 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
00:32:49Different shot clock
00:32:49And game clock
00:32:54Knicks do not have a foul
00:32:55To give here
00:33:00Fox goes at
00:33:01Alvarado
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
00:33:12The first quarter
00:33:14Knicks got off
00:33:15To 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 twenty to three run
00:33:22Well one of the headlines
00:33:23Of course
00:33:23Jalen brunson's right knee
00:33:25Right now
00:33:26He's back in the locker room
00:33:28First quarter complete
00:33:29Here in game one
00:33:30Down to the final spurs
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
00:33:50He's got to take better shots
00:33:52No turnovers
00:33:53I think it helped their offense
00:33:54Be better with the ball
00:33:55Your captain
00:33:56Jalen 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 going to get us
00:34:08Out of this moment
00:34:09Thank you cat
00:34:11All right
00:34:11Lisa woman yama
00:34:12Throws up a three
00:34:13Ball batted loose
00:34:14Alvarado trying to save it
00:34:15He does to shabbit
00:34:16But couldn't hold on
00:34:17Spurs ball
00:34:18All right
00:34:18Legs without brunson
00:34:19To the knicks
00:34:19Have to change the way they play
00:34:21He's obviously
00:34:21Back on the bench right now
00:34:24They do have to
00:34:25Because one of the things
00:34:25They wanted to do
00:34:26Was engage
00:34:27Victor women yama
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 women yama
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
00:34:40To say that he's okay
00:34:41He's ready to go back in
00:34:42Box throws it up
00:34:43And one man yama
00:34:44Nope
00:34:45Basket won't count
00:34:46He got fouled before
00:34:47He was able to catch
00:34:48The lob pass
00:34:49It'll be a side out
00:34:51Alvarado picks up his first
00:34:53The lob threat
00:34:54Is always there
00:34:55No matter where he is
00:34:57On the floor
00:35:05And an obi guard
00:35:07And casa
00:35:08Barnes
00:35:09Quick release
00:35:09He's on his three-pointer
00:35:10Towns grabs the rebound
00:35:13Nick Johnson said
00:35:14Time and time again
00:35:15When we talk
00:35:16Before the game
00:35:16How rebounding
00:35:17Might be one of the most
00:35:18Critical areas
00:35:21Towns drives on Fox
00:35:23And 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
00:35:29On De'Aaron Fox
00:35:31To your point about the rebounding
00:35:32The Knicks have
00:35:33Between Carl 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
00:35:41Opportunities
00:35:42Fortunately for the Spurs
00:35:43Their guards are
00:35:44Exceptional 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
00:35:56Mixed with three for 11
00:35:57Prior to that three-pointer
00:36:01Back to a five-point game
00:36:02And Anobi got a piece of it
00:36:04Quick hands of OG Ananobi
00:36:08Towns drives on Wembe
00:36:09Gets past inside
00:36:10Block from behind
00:36:13Towns upset
00:36:13Thought there was contact
00:36:15Again the recovery
00:36:16That Wembe Nyanma has
00:36:18Is remarkable
00:36:19I don't even know
00:36:20If 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
00:36:25If 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
00:36:34That'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
00:36:43He even got to that
00:36:44But what Alvarado
00:36:46Did 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 Wembe Nyanma
00:36:53Has a chance to get to it
00:36:55Of course he had a 12 block game
00:36:57The NBA record earlier
00:36:58In 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
00:37:05Against Deuce McBride
00:37:08Second team foul
00:37:09First on McBride
00:37:10And one of the things
00:37:11Legs like you said
00:37:12That's the adjustment
00:37:13To playing against Wembe
00:37:14You know you can't
00:37:15Just lay it up
00:37:16You've got to get the ball
00:37:17To the glass
00:37:18As quickly as possible
00:37:21Brunson on the bench
00:37:22They tried to put a
00:37:23Knee brace on him
00:37:24It's not on him now
00:37:25Not set to check in yet
00:37:27Castle gets inside
00:37:29Off the glass
00:37:31Stephon Castle now
00:37:32At six points
00:37:33Again you see the patience
00:37:33He hesitates
00:37:34Halfway down the lane
00:37:36And then he has that
00:37:37Second gear
00:37:38When he wants to
00:37:39Take 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
00:37:45Going at Wembe Nyanma
00:37:47Running the floor
00:37:48Wembe's fouled again
00:37:50That's three quick
00:37:51Team fouls
00:37:52Just two minutes
00:37:53And two seconds
00:37:54Into the second
00:37:55And again
00:37:56Wembe's going to
00:37:56Pressure Carl 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
00:38:07That you can
00:38:09Facilitate for yourself
00:38:10That will help
00:38:11Eliminate his 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
00:38:19Wembe Nyanma
00:38:19Five points

00:38:41I have no idea
00:38:42Tony Parker
00:38:43I thought you were
00:38:44Going to say
00:38:44Richard Jefferson
00:38:45I was waiting
00:38:46For that answer
00:38:46It's Richard
00:38:47In France
00:38:50Wembe Nyanma
00:38:50An excellent
00:38:51Free throw shooter
00:38:52In the playoffs
00:38:53He's taken now
00:38:54117 free throws
00:38:5687%
00:38:57From the free throw line
00:38:58Luxury to have him
00:38:59Big with that kind
00:39:00Of 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 11 minutes
00:39:06To start the game
00:39:08Towns has been
00:39:09More of a playmaker
00:39:10But with Brunson out
00:39:11They'll need his offense
00:39:12Shannon
00:39:13Pull up
00:39:14Jumper
00:39:14Can't get it to fall
00:39:16The cell
00:39:17Quick outlet to Harper
00:39:18Harper back in the game
00:39:20The cell
00:39:21Straight on
00:39:22For three
00:39:23And that one
00:39:24Way off
00:39:24Alvarado
00:39:25Comes the other way
00:39:29Knicks have won
00:39:30Six consecutive
00:39:31Road games
00:39:32In these playoffs
00:39:32As Alvarado
00:39:33Sneaks in
00:39:34And banks at home
00:39:35They've been a great
00:39:35Road playoff team
00:39:36And now they're
00:39:38Back within three
00:39:38That was Carl Anthony
00:39:39Towns with this seal
00:39:40In the lane
00:39:41Not allowing
00:39:43That defender
00:39:44To slide over
00:39:44On Alvarado's drive
00:39:45And an OB
00:39:46With another steal
00:39:48Past 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
00:39:56At 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
00:40:08Carted 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
00:40:14Three-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 Shabbat
00:40:22You were so hot
00:40:23The last series
00:40:24You've got to
00:40:25Keep your confidence
00:40:26Even if you miss a couple
00:40:27You just want to
00:40:28Keep that rhythm flowing
00:40:29Yes, you're not
00:40:30Going 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
00:40:40There's been a good
00:40:40Aggressive physical defense
00:40:41To start
00:40:43Six on a twenty-four
00:40:47And an OB
00:40:48Gets inside
00:40:50Finds Towns
00:40:51Towns
00:40:51Lay it won't go
00:40:51And he goes down
00:40:52Hard on his back
00:40:55As a foul
00:40:56Is going to be called
00:40:56On Wemby and Yama
00:40:58Didn't appear like
00:40:59Towns was able
00:41:00To brace his fall
00:41:02And he hit hard
00:41:10Getting help up
00:41:15And it'll be nice
00:41:16Feed inside
00:41:17They're going to
00:41:18Challenge 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, brought to you by Disney and Pixar's Toy Story 5.
00:41:37This summer, the battle is on.
00:41:39It's Toys vs. Tech, only in theaters June 19th.
00:41:45The Spurs have won the challenge.
00:41:47They change it to an offensive foul on Carl Anthony Towns.
00:41:51That'll be his first.
00:41:53Towns, by the way, during the regular season, he led the NBA in offensive fouls.
00:41:58But he's been much better in the playoffs.
00:42:00And tonight's officials, Scott Foster, Jimmy Capers, Sean Wright, alternate J.B. DeRosa, replay officials, Zach Zarba.
00:42:0712 officials selected to work the Finals.
00:42:09It's quite an honor for them.
00:42:10It's like making an All-NBA as a player.
00:42:13We congratulate the officials as Harper gets into the paint.
00:42:16Stopped nicely by Bridges.
00:42:18Bronson back on the floor for the Knicks.
00:42:20Great sign.
00:42:21Castle.
00:42:23And another foul on Josh Hart.
00:42:27Hart's got three fouls in seven minutes.
00:42:32Jordan Clarkson is in the game.
00:42:34Clarkson, a favorite here.
00:42:36Played his high school ball.
00:42:37Grew up here in San Antonio.
00:42:42Foul trouble for Hart is a problem for the Knicks.
00:42:45Because of the versatility, an additional ball handler on the break.
00:42:48The way he can crash the board to get second shots.
00:42:52Let's watch how Bronson runs up the floor.
00:42:55There's still a slight lift as he comes up.
00:42:57Hart stays in the game with 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 to block it.
00:43:04And Mitchell Robinson with a broken bone in his right hand.
00:43:07A chance for a three-point play.
00:43:10And you saw the first time they were able to break it up.
00:43:12I think the Spurs' defense is they want to show up and then get back to the lob.
00:43:17You see, he's trying to get back there.
00:43:19But he gets back there too late to make a play.
00:43:22It's the other one we showed.
00:43:23When he timed it perfectly, he waited too long to jump.
00:43:27Because that pass actually wasn't high enough.
00:43:29But Luke Cornett was still not able to get there because he missed time when to go make a play
00:43:34on the ball.
00:43:35First free throw of the game for the Knicks.
00:43:37And it's Mitchell Robinson who shot 30%.
00:43:39Can't get back to go.
00:43:41Harper the rebound.
00:43:42Harper's got four boards.
00:43:46And at that ten points off the bench.
00:43:48Carter Bryan, another 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 on this Spurs roster.
00:44:02He is.
00:44:03He's an Arizona player.
00:44:04We love those guys.
00:44:06Knicks, meanwhile, in the penalty.
00:44:09Already five team fouls.
00:44:16Carter Bryan, he looks like he's still in high school.
00:44:19It's got a baby face.
00:44:21It's time for tonight's DraftKings player pulse.
00:44:24We got Carl Anthony Towns, 16 points a game tonight.
00:44:28He's got six.
00:44:29Victor Wimanyama, 23.2.
00:44:32Tonight he's got seven.
00:44:34What do you think, Legs?
00:44:36I think both guys are off to a start.
00:44:37They're going to get there.
00:44:38No question.
00:44:39DraftKings is the number one sports book for live betting.
00:44:42Use promo code SPLASH when you sign up.
00:44:45Clarkson, Brunson, Robinson, Shamit, and Bridges out there for the Knicks.
00:44:49Clarkson launches 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 eight for 31.
00:45:00And, you know, Mike, the Knicks are number one in the postseason.
00:45:0340% 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.
00:45:12Shot is short.
00:45:13Robinson, the rebound.
00:45:13Also, too.
00:45:14And there's no knock on Atlanta and 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.
00:45:29Spurs get a layup.
00:45:31Fox's first field goal.
00:45:32He was 0 for 5.
00:45:35You wonder, to any extent, if that bandage or that pinky affected Mitchell Robinson on his ability to finish that
00:45:42putback
00:45:42because it looked like that was going to be an easy finish for him.
00:45:45And he's normally a great finisher.
00:45:48Brunson spins, gets inside, floats 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 for Vassell.
00:45:58And Vassell knocks down the three.
00:45:59Jalen Brunson screaming at Scott Foster as an X-ball timeout.
00:46:07This time, it's an ankle.
00:46:09Hurt the right knee in the first quarter.
00:46:11Now the ankle here in the second.
00:46:13Jalen Brunson dealing with a lot here physically in the first half.
00:46:18Comes back from that knee.
00:46:20There you see that ankle turning, and Luke Cornett steps on it to boot.
00:46:26You know, once again, Jalen Brunson lipping to the Knick bench.
00:46:35And just observing Jalen Brunson on the Knicks bench during that last timeout,
00:46:40he didn't receive any treatment from the medical staff.
00:46:43I did see him lace up his sneaker on that left foot a little bit tighter.
00:46:49All right, Lisa, but he stays in the game.
00:46:52Just two of nine to start.
00:46:54Carter Bryant putting some good pressure.
00:46:57We'll get it across the timeline just under the eighth second time.
00:47:00Brunson to spin, goes at the rookie, backs up, leans in, floaters up.
00:47:04Shot won't go, but 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 is pressuring him all over for it, bothering Jalen Brunson.
00:47:16He knew exactly where he wanted to go on that,
00:47:18and he knew if they stayed single coverage, he could get him deep into the lane.
00:47:22Offensive foul call against San Antonio.
00:47:27Vassell, his first.
00:47:28I like the idea of using Carter Bryant.
00:47:30In minutes, he's going to get on Jalen Brunson because he's very athletic.
00:47:34He's got good size, but Jalen Brunson can be patient against the rookie
00:47:38and get him where he wants to.
00:47:40That's how he walked him down to a spot where he could get a putback.
00:47:43Brunson has an iron will as he drives against Bryant.
00:47:48A little razzle-dazzle.
00:47:50Backs in.
00:47:51Scoots in.
00:47:52Right-handed.
00:47:52Off the glass.
00:47:53Oh, what a sweet move from Jalen Brunson.
00:47:55That's exactly what I'm talking about.
00:47:57He can use his balance, his patience, his footwork,
00:48:00and then his touch at the end of that against Bryant.
00:48:04Shabbat fights over a screen, chasing Fox.
00:48:07Aaron Fox with nine to shoot.
00:48:10Across the lane.
00:48:11Quick jumper.
00:48:11Can't get it to fall.
00:48:13And Robinson hauls in the rebound.
00:48:15And what people don't understand is that Jalen Brunson,
00:48:17while he's quick, he's not exactly fast,
00:48:19he will use your pressure against you.
00:48:21He will get you leaning one way just to get back to the other area.
00:48:25Boxing falls down.
00:48:26Gets rid of the ball, though.
00:48:29How about to trust Mitch Johnson putting the rookie on Brunson,
00:48:33drives inside, and floats it up and in.
00:48:35Now he's starting to get the feel.
00:48:38Kennedy Chalamet and Nick Contingent cheering.
00:48:41Harper down the other way.
00:48:43Off a main basket, Dylan Harper races up the floor.
00:48:46See the frustration on the part of Mike Brown right there.
00:48:49That's not good enough.
00:48:50You score on one end, you've got to get back, stay matched up.
00:48:53You cannot allow those quick driving lanes because these guards are going to attack quickly.
00:48:59Mikkel Bridges able to knock down the shot.
00:49:01His second field goal.
00:49:02And after you talked about Carter Bryant giving up a bucket or two,
00:49:06Mitch Johnson went right over to Castle.
00:49:08Keldon Johnson, and now here comes Wendy.
00:49:11Bryant shot in and out.
00:49:12Robinson, the rebound.
00:49:15Brunson has scored the last eight points for the Knicks.
00:49:20And a whistle and a foul.
00:49:23He is side out.
00:49:28Carl Anthony Towns is wired for us here tonight.
00:49:32Until the offense catches up, we've got to keep playing defense this way.
00:49:35We're at 34% for them.
00:49:37We've got to keep playing defense this way.
00:49:39This will win us the game.
00:49:40Our offense will always catch up.
00:49:42If it didn't game one in Cleveland, we'll be fine.
00:49:46I like it.
00:49:47That's the right message.
00:49:48Absolutely.
00:49:48Legs, you mentioned it.
00:49:49They were off to a slow start in that first half.
00:49:52Down 22 with seven minutes to go.
00:49:55They relied on their defense to get back in it.
00:49:57Chance of let's go Knicks.
00:49:58Bad pass on Bridges.
00:50:00Even when Benyama might not have been able to get that one.
00:50:04Too high.
00:50:04Too high.
00:50:05Seven turnovers for the Knicks.
00:50:07Five for San Antonio.
00:50:09Towns getting the rest.
00:50:10Robinson has given them seven good minutes.
00:50:12Five rebounds.
00:50:14And a bucket.
00:50:15As the Knicks turned it around here in the second quarter.
00:50:20Castle.
00:50:21Corner.
00:50:22Keldon Johnson lines that one up and hits the three.
00:50:26His first field goal.
00:50:28The longest tenured spur.
00:50:30Boy, he hit two big ones from the corner in game seven of the Western Conference Finals.
00:50:35It's his favorite spot on the floor.
00:50:37Got a little bit of a slow release, but he had time on that one.
00:50:40Brunson tries from downtown.
00:50:42Benyama the rebound.
00:50:43Just his second board.
00:50:48Harper back up top.
00:50:49Wemby for three.
00:50:51Well short.
00:50:53Klaxon flips it over to Bridges.
00:50:55As we're under three to play here in the second.
00:51:01The lift from Brunson from the knee injury in the first seed field gone away.
00:51:05Brunson drives inside.
00:51:06Kicks it out.
00:51:07Shammott off the bounce.
00:51:08Pulls back.
00:51:09Fires.
00:51:09And connects.
00:51:10Another three-pointer for Shammott.
00:51:13He's two for four from that distance.
00:51:15Knicks back up one.
00:51:19Wemby draws the foul.
00:51:22As Mitchell Robinson will pick up his first.
00:51:25And this is what we talked about.
00:51:27Landry Shammott keeping that positivity.
00:51:30You might not go ten for eleven, but right now he is two for four from three.
00:51:34He's shooting 50%.
00:51:35You'll take that any night.
00:51:38Shammott his second year with the Knicks.
00:51:40Six teams in eight years.
00:51:41Traded four times.
00:51:42Eight different head coaches.
00:51:44Always had to prove himself to his teammates.
00:51:46And his coaching staff.
00:51:47Boy, he has proved himself to the Knicks.
00:51:49He's hit some big shots in the playoffs.
00:51:52As Wemby hits the first.
00:51:54Michelob Ultra bringing fans chances to win prizes throughout the NBA playoffs.
00:51:59Scan for your chance to win.
00:52:02What's the biggest difference in the second quarter to get the Knicks back in?
00:52:06I think for me is when Brunson reinserted himself into the game,
00:52:10their offense settled down.
00:52:12Now, they gave up some transition opportunities.
00:52:14I don't think the Knicks have been great getting back in transition,
00:52:17and the Spurs have actually taken a toll.
00:52:19But Jalen Brunson settled them when he had that opportunity to get the middle of the floor to himself.
00:52:24Brunson back on the bench.
00:52:26Alvarado returns.
00:52:29Wemby's great free throw shooting continues.
00:52:31They're sitting next to his dad, who played in those 99 finals.
00:52:34Last time, Nixon in the finals, he played a total of 9.3 seconds.
00:52:40And an OB.
00:52:44Shoots over Johnson.
00:52:45Well defended.
00:52:47Campenny the rebound.
00:52:48And Fenny's got six boards.
00:52:51Shannon on Wemby.
00:52:53Campenny left wide open.
00:52:56Nails a three.
00:52:57His third three-pointer.
00:52:59He hit 11 in a game on New Year's Eve against the Knicks.
00:53:05Again, a Brooklyn-born kid.
00:53:10Spurs back up four.
00:53:15Bounce 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 off the bench with seven points in six minutes.
00:53:26And you look at this first half right now.
00:53:28The leading scorer in this game is Dylan Harper, a rookie.
00:53:33Campenny fires away.
00:53:34Knocks down another.
00:53:36Campenny red hot.
00:53:38He's got 12.
00:53:38And that was Alvarado just drifting too far to the lane.
00:53:43When you've got Campenny on that side of the floor,
00:53:45I know that you want to try to cheat, shoot the gap,
00:53:48see if you can get in the lane and make a play.
00:53:50But he gave himself too much recovery space to get back to Campenny
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 and bump and help chip on Wemby Nama on the roll.
00:54:06But that's not going to be your responsibility at that size.
00:54:09You've got to stay home with the shooter in the corner.
00:54:12And they're already talking trash.
00:54:14But I'm really curious to see that pick and roll again.
00:54:16Who does have that low responsibility to not give up that long?
00:54:21Don't leave that corner if it's Alvarado.
00:54:24It's one of the other guards.
00:54:25Bridges and Anobi, you're going to be able to make a difference.
00:54:27But Alvarado's not going to do anything on Wemby Nama on that roll from that spot.
00:54:32Brunson, Wemby, trying to deflect.
00:54:35Brunson in and out.
00:54:37Towns grabs the rebound and he's fouled.
00:54:39That's going to be the second foul in the last two minutes.
00:54:41So Towns will take free throws.
00:54:43Knicks have only taken one free throw in the entire first half.
00:54:51Castle picks up his second foul.
00:54:54Talk about big men shooting free throws as well.
00:54:56We mentioned Wemby Nama.
00:54:58Towns 89% from the line in the playoffs.
00:55:08This transformation during the playoffs is a big part.
00:55:11Going from a big score to a playmaker.
00:55:13Why the Knicks have won 11 in a row.
00:55:15And they've had one of the great stretches in NBA playoff history.
00:55:20You were talking about this yesterday, Legs.
00:55:22His shots are down, but you want to say his inclusion is up.
00:55:27And as a result, he feels important.
00:55:29And we talked to him about it yesterday.
00:55:31You rarely see a 20-point scorer have his scoring come down, his shots come down.
00:55:36But his overall feeling about himself offensively go up
00:55:39because of the way they're utilizing his passing.
00:55:42He said he's always been a playmaker, always felt like he had a lot more skills.
00:55:46He said he was jealous of Nikola Jokic.
00:55:49There's all the credit he gets for a playmaker.
00:55:52Castle gets inside, pulls back, elbow jumper, short.
00:55:56Downs the rebound.
00:55:58Again, the shooting percentages have been pretty low.
00:56:01Knicks have gotten hot here.
00:56:02The second stolen by Fox.
00:56:04A costly turnover, and Fox throws it down.
00:56:08The ball hawking guards of the San Antonio Spurs.
00:56:11Brunson's going to get a lot of looks.
00:56:13With Fox, it's not so much the physical strength.
00:56:15It's the feet and those quick hands.
00:56:17And when he tries to strip, break you.
00:56:20Downs gets inside, keeps 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 and the penalty for most of this quarter.
00:56:29So no fouls to give.
00:56:39Six to shoot.
00:56:40Fox splits the defense, throws it in the corner.
00:56:43Champagny puts it up, puts it in.
00:56:45Champagny red hot here in the first half.
00:56:48Final seconds knocked away.
00:56:51And quarter number two comes to an end.
00:56:53Champagny five of six from three-point range.
00:56:56He's got 15 points, and this is coming off a huge game seven
00:57:01for Champagny against OKC.
00:57:04He had six threes in that game.
00:57:07He already has five here in his first finals game.
00:57:13Coming up at halftime, presented by Kia.
00:57:19Yes, they're here.
00:57:20What an honor to have them inside the NBA.
00:57:24Shaq, Ernie, Kenny, and Charles.
00:57:26Here in San Antonio.
00:57:29Game one of these finals.
00:57:31Champagny, the New York native, 15 points in 14 minutes.
00:57:37Spurs up here at half.
00:57:54First half, New York fans holding their collective breath because a couple of times Jalen Brunson went down.
00:58:02Once with a knee, once with an ankle, but he did return, hit a few buckets.
00:58:07It got New York back in it.
00:58:09But it is a 55-48 halftime score after 24 minutes of the 26 finals.
00:58:17San Antonio up by seven.
00:58:20They can thank Julian Champagny for that.
00:58:22He's been on fire from three.
00:58:24This is the halftime report.
00:58:26It's brought to you by Kia, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny, the Jetsmith, and Charles Barkley.
00:58:31I don't know where to start.
00:58:33Is it the Champagny first half?
00:58:36Because I know what we want to talk about or what we thought we'd talk about is Brunson-Wemby, but
00:58:42it's been others so far.
00:58:44Yeah, but it's really been terrible defense on the Knicks.
00:58:47Because if you have to look at his threes, there's no reason.
00:58:50Why is he wide open?
00:58:51There's no reason to be leaving him wide open.
00:58:53But the one thing that shocked me, and I thought it would be a huge advantage for the Knicks, the
00:58:59Spurs can't guard the pick-and-roll.
00:59:01When they run the pick-and-roll with Cat, they get something good every time.
00:59:05And we got to give Cat his flowers.
00:59:07I love the way he's attacking Wemby.
00:59:08He got a couple times I thought he got fouled, but he's being aggressive.
00:59:12To me, because he's the key to the series that the Knicks are going to win.
00:59:15I hope that Brunson thing is all right.
00:59:17But every single time the Knicks run a pick-and-roll with Carl Lassen-Towns, they get something good.
00:59:22First time highlights presented by Kia.
00:59:25One second, Shaq, and we'll get to you.
00:59:26But the halftime highlights presented by Kia.
00:59:31Jalen Brunson, 11 points.
00:59:32He's just 5 out of 15.
00:59:34Again, a couple of times he went down, had to leave, but then did return.
00:59:39Towns got 8.
00:59:41Wemby with 9.
00:59:42He does have 3 blocks to Aaron Fox, who's struggled in the Oklahoma City series, struggling again tonight.
00:59:48He's got 4 points in the first half, just 2 out of 8.
00:59:52But the attention of Shaquille O'Neal is on Cat and on Wemby.
00:59:56What did you make of it?
00:59:57Yeah, I'm looking at the battle of the big man.
00:59:591's 3 for 8, 5 rebounds.
01:00:011's 2 for 8, 9.6 rebounds.
01:00:03They're playing okay.
01:00:05Cat is playing aggressive.
01:00:06I think Wemby's being a little too passive.
01:00:09You're 7'5".
01:00:10We know you have to really hit that shot, but you need you to dominate.
01:00:13I love that right there.
01:00:15I'm surprised how easy Cat is getting around him.
01:00:17But Cat has to understand, when you get around the shot blocker, you've got to throw it down.
01:00:21Right there, you know, he 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, you 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 has a championship because of others.
01:00:34Michael Jordan has a championship because of others.
01:00:36I have a lot of championships because of others.
01:00:38Champagne.
01:00:39And Kobe.
01:00:39And shout-out to Alvarado playing great, too.
01:00:42Yeah.
01:00:43You know, it's impressive also because one of the things you're concerned with,
01:00:47if you're looking at the Knicks, is Carl Anthony Towns' foul situation only has one.
01:00:52And that was on the reversal of a call.
01:00:55But I'll say it before the game.
01:00:56The problem is, he don't – Wemby doesn't post up.
01:01:00Even when –
