One of the most underrated moments of Game 5:
Ariel Hukporti, Jeremy Sochan, and Pacome Dadiet tell the Knicks road crowd to make some noise on Wemby’s free throws… Wemby missed the free throw.
Whole squad was locked in and ready.
The Knicks have a 14% chance to win the 2027 NBA title.

Not a lot of point guards can make the same impact as Jalen Brunson in their first NBA finals appearance 🏆
Of all the star point guards to play in their first NBA Finals of this millennium, Brunson's numbers are just as good as Steph Curry or Allen Iverson 👀
He's efficient.
He's automatic in the clutch.
And most importantly, he knows how to get to his spots regardless of who's guarding him.
Brunson's name isn't often mentioned when you talk about the top PGs of this era.
But now, the results are hard to ignore.
He's already been dubbed the King of New York.
And it's hard not to give him a seat at the table when you talk about the best point guards of this era 😤
I’m ngl. Don’t know what to do with myself as a Knicks fan right now. My whole identity was built with having a chip on my shoulder, for not having a chip 😂🤷
