2026 NBA FINALS: (2) San Antonio Spurs Vs. (3) New York Knicks

San Antonio had to fight HARD for that one. They're lucky they pulled it out.

 

not surprised the Knicks lost today

a demonic force showed up to the game, and basketball jesus said “nope”

 

I knew that dumb@ss Trump would cause the Knicks to lose.

 

offense was a lot more difficult cuz the paint was so congested with non shooters. The role players today are soo much better than back then. To say someone who scores so easily couldn’t score is crazy. Like harden routinely finished in the paint even when he got fouled. Once again we are talking about the 90s and the pistons were basically non existent by then. By the time Jordan started winning. He played the suns team that had some of the worst defense I’ve ever seen in the finals. Harden woulda carved them up easily.

Jordan won 6 rings cuz his team was more stacked than a lot of team in history. One of the few teams that have had 2 first team all nba players on it. Not to mention he also had Rodman first team defense and leading rebounder and 6 man of the year kukoc. If harden had all that he would win also.in Houston harden never even played with an all star teammate let alone first team all nba.

 

Disagree that this was a 'big' win for the Spurs. I mean they pretty much had to win lol, game 4 is the swing game of the series though now.

Spurs win that, all momentum for the Knicks is gone.
Knicks win and I just can't see the Spurs beating them three times in a row.

 

Not sure why Brown didn't challenge when KAT got hacked by Wemby down the stretch. Seemed like a crucial point in the game

 

Knicks just didn't have it down the stretch and they needed to hit a couple more shots. Tonight, the Spurs defense was at its best when the game was on the line.

 

Hopefully Dolan doesn’t invite Trump back for Game 4 and we will get back to normalcy with a Knicks win.

 

Unfortunately they were out of challenges by that point.

 

LOL

Those Knicks fans just went from cheers to tears. All the BS they went through to get into the stadium because of Trump, on top of the price of tickets, to watch them lose.

 

Spurs actually got called for more fouls than the Knicks but were up 10+ on FTs. That's definitely not a sign of shenanigans, no sir, not at all

 

A few thousand Knicks fans who have zero chance to go to a Finals game at MSG are pumped at the opportunity to attend game 5 in San Antonio.

 

In all seriousness, the Knicks didn’t play well at all and the Spurs still barely won. The Knicks are a bad matchup for the Spurs. I expect the Knicks to win Game 4 and that this series would be lucky to go 6 games.

 

Mikal Bridges was out there doing calisthenics and cardio

 

Hmmm, okay, won the rebounding battle, the possession battle by a tad.....lost to the refs.

Thank you, Donold!

 

Breen seemed surprised that they didn't challenge, I missed most of the game so had no idea what they used them on

 

cost of 12 first rounders bruh!

 

Scored 22, 27 and 20 in 3 Quarters, cannot win like this........

 

they booed the sh*t out of him

 

It was more difficult because coaches and players didn't know that 3 > 2
