Ridiculous man. Knicks deserve it all. Walked it down. We kept firing 3s and getting 0 rim pressure, wemby missed 2 Fts late and we don’t deserve it. Embarrassing
There's a lot here, but this shows how Dylan Harper's shooting got better from almost all areas of the court after 1/31.
He add +0.74 net pts/G on layups early, +1.33 late, for example.
The Knicks defensive system is designed to allow more 3's. They finished 2nd in the NBA in the regular season, allowing teams to shoot 41% of shots from 3. Same % in the playoffs, 40.5%.
Help in the paint, then closeout.
Spurs are 11/18 from 3 so far.
Knicks are shooting terribly and have no offensive rhythm and aren’t playing defense and the Spurs have hit every shot but I personally blame the refs for everything
A HOT FIRST QUARTER FOR THE SPURS 🔥
The Spurs shot 82% off passes in the first quarter, according to ESPN's tracking.
That's the highest FG percentage off passes in the first quarter of a Finals game in the last 10 postseasons (min. 10 FGA).
The Knicks are worried about the officials, and they’ve definitely been on the wrong end of two pretty bad misses (especially for a Zarba crew), but the wayyy bigger issue for the Knicks is the Spurs have been badly outplaying them for 6 quarters.
