While it’s true that the turnover late was key, how is it that none of the Spurs players seem capable of giving any credit to the Knicks for winning either of these games?

Resharing this story of Jalen and the kindness he showed my son.

The kids growing up watching this run are so lucky. It will stick with them for their entire lives!

They have a real role model in Jalen Brunson. 🏆

My mom and I were at a game between the USWNT and Brazil many years ago, and their defensive strategy against Abby Wambach was to shove her down from behind every time she got the ball. This Brazil team plays some of that defense plus grabbing around the waist, shoulders, etc.

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

How is there no foul there? The defender was holding onto Rodman the whole way down the field.

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

Now they’re grabbing them with both hands and throwing them down on the ground. Seriously?

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

Brazil’s defenders put two hands on the US player’s back *every* time they get the ball. It’s ridiculous.

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

These Brazilian fans are so corny. Booing anytime the US has possession in their offensive end. I’ve honestly never seen anything like this in an International Friendly (or even in tournament play).

Genuine question: Does intentionality matter for a kicked ball? That’s news to me.

[Ian Begley @IanBegley]

In its 2-minute report, NBA finds that referees in Game 2 of Knicks-Spurs made no errors in final 2 minutes. Every call was either a correct call or a correct non-call. On Luke Kornet kick ball late, NBA says: “Although Kornet (SAS) lifts his foot, he does not intentionally kick the loose ball.” https://t.co/QDMsyTs2Cn

Wonderful news! And I saw on IG that Boris has also been adopted?? My heart is happy.

[Friends of Bear Cat Rescue @feederofcats]

Some much needed happy news... CORNBREAD was adopted! 🥹🧡

Cornbread is a ~9 year old big handsome boy who came to us almost 1 year ago. He had been abandoned by his previous owners when they moved and left to fend for himself outside.

Wemby's gotten away with some wild stuff this evening.

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

Kicked ball??

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

Just find a way.

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

Wait, so now we’re calling goaltending?

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

How is that not a foul???

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

“There aren’t that many guys that can arm bar Anunoby out of the way.”

Foul was called *on* Anunoby.

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

Goaltending not a thing either? 🤣🤣

[Lisa Kadlec 🥋🧬 @lisakadlec]

That’s a seriously 💩💩 call. Towns held. Over the back on the rebound at the other end. Like clockwork.
