The Spurs stole one back in New York and we have a real NBA Finals on our hands. Victor Wembanyama came out of the tunnel like he remembered he was seven foot five, attacked the rim from the opening tip, and dragged San Antonio to a 115-111 road win to cut the series to 2-1.
Mo and two-time NBA champion coach Brendan Suhr break down the game that flipped the temperature of this series. They get into why Wembanyama's aggression changed everything, the Knicks' absurd 42-point second quarter, and the Keldon Johnson play that nearly cost San Antonio the night.
Then comes the debate of the episode: is De'Aaron Fox doing enough for a max-money guard in the biggest series of his life? Mo is done waiting. Brendan is not so sure. They also dig into San Antonio's elite defense against New York's five-out offense, the loudest arena Brendan has heard since the old Chicago Stadium, and why this is shaping up to be the most-watched Finals in years.
Are the Spurs about to make this a series, or do the Knicks close it out at home?
