Victor Wimiyama got a flagrant two, got thrown out early in the ballgame, and I think that was probably the difference, but we'll never know. All I know is that the Minnesota Timberwolves tied this series up as it heads back. to San Antonio, 114 to 109.
Ant-Man was sensational. Six guys in double figures for the Timberwolves, and that was the difference in the ballgame. Thank you guys for joining us. Y'all know who I am.

Chapter 6: What were the standout performances in the Knicks vs. Sixers series?
Two or two field goals, two or two from the three-point line. Terrence Shannon Jr. had eight points. So basically, everybody that played scored at least eight points with six of those guys in double figures. Give San Antonio credit. They played extremely well without their best player on the court, but I think it was just a little bit too much for them to overcome.
Dylan Harper was sensational tonight. Castle played well. Vassell, De'Aaron Fox, Champagne. Guys played well, but Vic, you know, you get your... your best player only plays 12 minute guys. You're asking an awful lot. You're not talking about just a regular starter. You're talking about a defensive player of the year.
We're talking about an MVP candidate and you saw the stat that they put on the screen. You look and they were eight for 18 in paint, but then he leaves the game, they're six for eight. And I believe that was the difference in the ball game. Joe, we got ourselves a series now. It goes back to San Antonio. The Spurs did what they wanted to do.
Chapter 7: What strategies did the Knicks use to dominate the series?
They came in and they got at least one game. They wanted to extend this series, and that's what they were able to do. They would have loved to gotten both of these ballgames, and there's a chance they could have, but they didn't. How was Minnesota able to withstand everything that San Antonio threw at them and still come away with a victory? Well, I mean, okay, Ocho, we got to be honest.
You know, without Wimby, it's a pretty even damn game. Yes, sir. If you want me to be honest, this is for people who really enjoy, you know, the game of hoops. Like, when you talk about getting buckets, when you're talking about growing up playing in the park, bro, and, you know, okay, Ocho, You got guys who can really score the ball, and you got guys who can defend.
I think this was, if you love two-way players, this was great. Because you got Castle, Vassell, Fox, Harper. Man, all these guys are great off the dribble, but so is Deadman, DeSamu, McDaniels, Shannon. I just thought, man, it was great basketball. Once Wimby went out, hell, I didn't know who was going to win. I'm going to be honest with you. I thought Fox got it going late, and...
Wimpy's the biggest difference maker, man. Timberwolves have made just a series. But, bruh, I'm talking about bucket after bucket, tough defense, making tough baskets.
Chapter 8: What does the future hold for the teams involved in this playoff series?
Like, just coming up clutch. Hey, look, let me tell you something. If you playing with that basketball around Fox, partner, he probably going to get his hands on it.
Okay?
That boy sitting down, babe, man. Hey, hey, I'm sure. That boy playing some ball, man. We're gaming tonight. I ain't going to lie to you. But without Wimpy. I mean, I think the Spurs are still, they still competed. At one point, I thought they were really going to pull away and win this game. I did too. But Minnesota did what they had to do, bro. They evened up the series.
Now they got to go back to San Antonio, but a hell of a ball game tonight. Yeah. Hey, Uncle Joe, I was kind of nervous. I was kind of nervous for the Wolves. Obviously, when Wimmy went out early in the second quarter, obviously, he has to learn to keep his composure, especially in situations like that. But this is exactly what you want to do to their best player. You want to antagonize him.
You want to frustrate him. You want to be in a jersey. You want to be in a chest and get him to have moments like this, you know. But... Almost. It seemed like the Spurs were still going to pull this off until the Wolves were able to come away with it towards the end of the game. That goddamn Ant-Man was phenomenal. Ant was phenomenal. And obviously, he was playing on both ends.
They were trying to trap him a little bit. But one of the reasons why I think the Wolves did win this game, free throws. They were 91% from three. From the three-point line, they were 37%. And they went on the glass. It was 49%. Outside of that, I mean, you got to figure out what you're going to do with Wimby in game four. Wait, game four or game five? Game five. Game five. Yeah, game five.
You got to find a way to neutralize him in some kind of way or slow him down. If you can't slow him down, you know he's going to always get his. You got to deal with the other four. You got to deal with the other four people. Outside of that, that was a goddamn good, that was a good-ass game. It was an outstanding ball game. Both teams competed. That's what you wanted to see.
You hate to see Wimby get thrown out of the ball game, but I thought in that situation he earned the right to get thrown out because it was excessive. It was above the head and shoulder area. I mean, it caught him cold in the jaw. But the thing that was so surprising is that when they said it over the PA announcer, you see him grab Harrison Barnes and say, what does that mean?
What does that mean?
