How did the Knicks secure a 2‑0 NBA Finals lead with a wild finish in Game 2?
Deuce and Mo. Deuce and Mo. Deuce and Mo. They tell you what they know. Deuce and Mo. Deuce and Mo. Deuce and Mo. The podcast that you know.
They did it again. They did it again. Another great NBA finals game. And who would have thought? The New York Knicks go on the road and take a 2-0 series lead.
Yeah.
Got a little crazy at the end when it looked comfortable for New York. Spurs take the lead, but down the stretch, some mistakes from San Antonio. Brunson coming up with some big plays late. And the Knicks head back to Madison Square Garden. Of two games to none in the NBA Finals, Morgan Reagan. Holy shit.
I feel like my heart hurts for the Spurs fans in that building tonight. Like, obviously Spurs fans, yes. I'm sorry,
were there Spurs fans in the building? All I heard were
Knicks fans. And after the game, you saw how many streamed down. I know, way too many Knicks fans. um in the away arena but for the spurs fans all like that turnover at the end and i know we'll get to victor's game but that turnover at the end when he tried passing it to seth castle going up in transition jalen brunson ends up getting it he gets fouled goes to the line um That moment, for me, I remember just trying to put myself in the shoes of those Spurs fans in the building and just being like... It would be like an out-of-body experience of trauma. It would be a traumatic moment in my life if I was the biggest Spurs fan in the world. That was so tough. So tough to see from... the best player on the team, this generational player, but altogether, this game had so many moments.
It had so many exciting things throughout this entire game, both teams going back and forth. The physicality is absolutely insane. I don't even know where to start once again with this game.
I want to start with this because I know the big talking point is going to be the end of the game and Victor.
Okay.
We'll hit on that. I'm just going to start with the resilience of the New York Knicks for a second. This game was unbelievably physical, almost too physical in my mind. These teams are battling through it again, but a night where like Brunson's not totally efficient. The stretches of just elite basketball from Carl Anthony Towns, from Mikel Bridges, especially at the end of that third quarter. Oh, gee, just this complete game all
the
way around. Sham it. It's like everyone stepped up in these moments. And it's not that Brunson played terribly. Like he was doing a lot of good things out there. But for me, the story through two games is Carl Anthony Towns and how disciplined he has been throughout this playoffs, throughout this 13-game win streak for New York. What has stood out to you about what he's been able to do at the start of this series?
I mean, he is... playing some of the best basketball i've ever seen him play i don't
even think that's a debate this is the best basketball he's ever played he might have put up bigger numbers but in terms of like on both
everything everything he's meeting the moment in the the discipline though like yeah we that's something it's always been uh a topic of conversation with cat can you just keep his head in the game no when he gets When he gets foul, he gets emotional. He lets things get to him. I don't know what the fuck therapy he went to or what he's doing, but to stay so composed and to be doing it at the highest level against... can we just say it? The best player in the NBA and Victor Wimbinyama in so many different ways. I know so many people will argue back on that, but whatever. My point is he's doing it against at least one of the best, a freak of nature. And then he's, when I say he's doing it, he's doing it on both ends though, because the defense, we keep talking about the physicality and him bumping Victor out of his spots and stuff.
But to be able to score and go at Victor the way he's been able to do that, too, like you just you didn't see that all year long from so many different teams and in the postseason. So to see it now from Kat specifically leading that charge has just been incredible.
