Hes right. The difference was Fox and Wemby didnt make shots. The goal was make Brunson work for all his pts.. he took 31 shots to get 30 pts so they did what they set out to do.
Castle and Champagnie gave their thoughts on the way the team defended Jalen Brunson after his 30pt night...
"I mean I thought we did well, I mean we kept him off the line for the most part. He made some tough shots late but I feel a lot a lot of his buckets were just loud because they were back to back...Looking at the box score, looking back on it, I think we did a pretty good job"

@NYKNYGfan@Mimster_ Im banking on the Spurs shooting better than 25% from 3 and Wemby and Fox not being a combined 9/34.
If they play like their capable, I think they'll be fine.
Spurs haven’t won both games in San Antonio the whole entire postseason lol. Lost game 2 to the Blazers in SA.
Lost game 1 to Minnesota in SA.
Lost game 3 to OKC in SA.
Just gotta get one.
That was the lowest scoring game the Spurs have had all playoffs. And funny enough that was also the lowest scoring game the Knicks have had all playoffs lol. Just 2 good teams and the Knicks star showed up when it mattered. That simple.
Nothing I saw this game worried me tbh. Truly.
It just confirmed NY is great and built well and that’ it’s even.
Wemby and Fox I think will be better and it’s more about who can manufacture best looks and win the margins.
I truly didn’t see anything that was like “oh no”.
Was just a slugfest and Brunson was great when it mattered.
Wemby and Fox and Harper and Castle all have that in them too.
“Obviously, you wanna win every game… We won the first game against OKC but then they won the next two.”
Dylan Harper feels confident that the Spurs can get back to playing as well as they do. He says they are focused on the long game – winning the series.
This Spurs team is resilient they'll be fine. Playing the Knicks was always gonna be tough. And anybody that thought this series was gonna be easy for the Spurs either didnt watch the Knicks play this season, or they put on some silver and black colored glasses.
