NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson said the one constant among winning players is being willing to fail in the summer when nobody is watching.

Pochettino on Seattle atmosphere: "After the game, I was emotional because the atmosphere was amazing, fans were amazing. The warm reception in the way they support us and celebrate a victory, makes it very emotional. Our players were emotional too.
A perfect connection between the team and fans makes us very proud. To connect with the people is what we wanted, if we want to achieve good things, we need that support. We don't only need the Seattle support, we need all of the countries' support."

Own goal was shock. 2nd goal was right after offsides (which was being replayed).
This was deafening
