Episode Notes

The Knicks are on the verge of a championship, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explain why closing out the Spurs may come down to one simple fix: starting faster. After repeatedly falling behind early and relying on historic comebacks, New York has a chance to take control from the opening tip and turn a tense series into a statement win.

Evan and Tiki break down the Spurs’ fatigue, the Knicks’ dominance in recent closeout games, and the growing scrutiny around Victor Wembanyama’s physical play. They also spotlight Miles McBride as a forgotten X factor whose shooting could shift the game and give the Knicks another weapon off the bench.
