Dan Patrick

You got De'Aaron Fox.

Well, that didn't go as scripted because I couldn't understand how you don't do the math.

You don't need a basket.

You need to take time off the clock.

He just had a two-minute stretch that is going to be unforgivable in NBA lore.

I agree.

This is a player I've liked for a long time.

I was thrilled that he got to San Antonio and got out of being stuck where he was, where he was playing games that were inconsequential.

And

You have the ball in the lead.

The clock's your biggest ally.

You don't need another point at that point.

I thought, and I was standing right down there at that baseline, I thought he was going to do that thing where you hesitate and then you use the burst of speed to go baseline to the far corner and just keep bleeding clock.

But as he takes it to the rim, OG Ananobi does an incredible job to not foul him and get the block.

And then it's two things that were basketball 101.

That, and then you have to get a body on Ananobi.

And when Wenbin Yama comes floating out to challenge the three from Brunson, I mean, I don't know if you've ever seen him in person, Dan, but I mean, his length, you can't process it in your brain.

So I understand challenging the shot from Wenbin Yama, but if he exits the paint,

Someone has to get a body in Ananobi.

Not one person did.
