You da real MVP @matthewdavid142 🙏

Faced with the game heading indoors, @TerpsMLax intern Matt Sanders acted quickly.

With the help of just his steady hands, Sanders live-streamed Maryland’s win over Albany.

He’s the hero we didn’t know we needed.

[Chef @jakebuuschh]

Official predictions:

Game 1: absolute battle but Spurs run out of gas and Knicks pull away in the fourth and win by 8+. OG balls out

Game 2: Spurs magnet ball win by double digits. Champagnie Vassell Harper all 15+

Game 3: Knicks blitz win by 25. One of those avalanches

Game 4: Knicks comeback in fourth, Brunson and Wemby masterclasses

Game 5: defensive battle but Knicks win since Josh Hart hits 5 threes

Knicks 4-1 Finals MVP Jalen Brunson

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

[Mike D. @DelisNFLspot]

When the TV announcers are calling out how the refs aren’t calling a finals game straight, the NBA has a problem

[Chef @jakebuuschh]

Just rewatched all of Game 1 and here are my thoughts #NBAFinals

- Thought the Knicks half court offense was super stagnant all night. Not a ton of movement, probably hard to generate a flow with Wemby in the middle.
- Knicks were super physical on D, especially on Wemby. Not just KAT, who did an unbelievable job on him, but Hart and Mitch really bodied him
- Alvarado kept the Knicks afloat in the first half. High energy, big buckets, but controlled the offense and got KAT his touches
- Speaking of KAT, that third quarter is the best quarter of basketball I have ever seen Karl-Anthony Towns play. Both sides of the ball he was near perfect outside of 3 fouls in the first 3 minutes😂 incredible job by Towns to cut the Spurs lead. Really glad Mike Brown extended KATs minutes in that quarter and didnt sit him
- In that third, the Spurs had a LOT of chances to bury the Knicks. Lead never got out of hand and the Knicks clawed and clawed. The non Wemby minutes in the third kept the Knicks in the game with a Josh Hart led 7-0 run
- Ended the third with the Deuce corner bank shot fall from the heavens shot of destiny to tie up game after 3
- Brunson looked horrible outside of the stretch of Carter Bryant guarding him the first 3 quarters. But his nickname is Captain Clutch for a reason just took over down the stretch. He gets whatever he wants on Fox, Champagnie, Vassel
- OG back to back nuts corner threes in the fourth the one over Wemby is one of the toughest shots youll see go down
- Wemby goes out at 7:32 in a tie game and Josh Hart takes over from there. Rebounds, steals, transition buckets for Brunson. He was actually EVERYWHERE in the second half

Devin Vassell had a ton of really good looks and missed every single big shot attempt. I thought Barnes, Keldon, Bryant were atrocious out there. Wemby tried to be the hero but doesnt have that go to move to get a bucket on the perimeter yet, really good job by the Knicks on defense.

Watching it back, it felt like the Knicks stole game 1. Super stagnant on offense, off Brunson night but the way this team is playing as a defensive unit is incredible and that defense tenacity is translating to easy transition buckets.
That is a great team win and I expect the Knicks offense to look a lot faster tomorrow night

[Jared Schwartz @jschwartz115]

Jalen Brunson didn't play a single minute in the fourth quarter of any of the Knicks' three closeout games

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

I want to congratulate New York Knicks Head Coach Mike Brown, superstar Jalen Brunson, star Karl Anthony Towns, and the entire Knicks organization for advancing to the NBA Finals after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers!

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Jalen Brunson just proved all the haters wrong.

They said he wasn’t a 1A player. They said he was too small. They said he couldn’t get it done.

Brunson has now led the New York Knicks to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999.

One of the greatest free agent signings of all-time.
