Jacob Misiorowski just pitched one of the greatest games EVER

[ALL NBA Podcast @ALLCITY_NBA]

Since the 2020-21 season, the earliest year we have this data, there have been two instances of a non-dunk tip-in, where the player had a jump distance of 7+ feet and a wrist height on the shot of 10+ feet.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo in 2021 and OG Anunoby last night.

FINAL 4:50 to New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs Game 4.

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

The Spurs are the only team in NBA history to have:

76 or more points in the first half
30 or fewer points in the second half

...in any game, regular season or playoffs.

[Keerthika Uthayakumar @keerthikau]

Spurs are up 27, the biggest halftime lead by a road team in NBA Finals history.

Tied for the third-largest halftime lead by any team in Finals history.

[Alex Freedman @azfreedman]

This is about as close as I've ever come to saying "holy sh!t" on the air.

[Mathew Mocha @Mathew_Mocha89]

James Wood is 23 years old & has played in 299 career games. He has recorded 126 extra-base hits & 175 walks.

In MLB history, only three players have recorded 125+ XBH and 175+ BB in 299 or fewer games before turning 24:

Ted Williams
Juan Soto
James Wood

KAT Towns finals game 1

[Evan Abrams @EvanHAbrams]

Pacers +10 vs OKC ✅
Knicks +5 vs SAS ✅

For the first time since the merger in 1976, underdogs win Game 1 of the NBA Finals outright in consecutive years

[Extra @extrastats]

Fewest POINTS in a Finals game while putting up 15+ REB and 6+ AST:

3 — Josh Hart (tonight)
5 — Bill Russell (1959 Game 1)
6 — Bill Russell (1969 Game 7)
8 — Bill Russell (1959 Game 3)
9 — Bill Russell (1964 Game 2)
9 — Bill Russell (1969 Game 2)

INSANE.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Who had the better May?

Cristopher Sánchez: 4-0, 39 IP, 25 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 45 K, 0.00 ERA, 1.06 FIP

Jacob Misiorowski: 5-0, 38.1 IP, 14 H, 1 R, 6 BB, 57 K, 0.23 ERA, 0.63 FIP

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

Jacob Misiorowski just INCINERATED Yordan Alvarez. 😳

103, 103 and 102.

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

The Thunder this season, including playoffs:

vs. Spurs: 4-8 (.333)
vs. Everyone Else: 71-14 (.835)

They're the first team in NBA history to have 8+ losses against one team in a season while having 70+ wins against everyone else (reg & post).

[Automatic @automaticnba]

For the FIRST time in NBA history, there will be 8 straight unique champions across an 8-year span.

[Brett Usher @UsherNBA]

on a string

[Luke Arcaini @ArcainiLuke]

This stat is mind boggling.

Dave Dombrowski has struggled to find right-handed hitting outfielders, but so has the entire sport.

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

Former Wizards Landry Shamet (23-24) and Dillon Jones (25-26) have made the NBA Finals with the New York Knicks.

It marks the 18th straight NBA Finals that will feature a former Wizard — a streak that dates back to 2009.

[Keerthika Uthayakumar @keerthikau]

Knicks have a +19.4 average point differential this postseason, the largest by a team entering the NBA Finals in NBA playoff history.

Passed the 2017 Warriors' mark of +16.3.

[Pat Boyle @PatBoyle44]

this is out of control.

The Knicks offense is statistically the greatest offense of all time in the last 10 games.

2nd highest FG% in a 10 game span in NBA History (87 Lakers). And single greatest effective FG % in a 10 game span in NBA History
