The Spurs struck back to make it a series, winning Game 3 of the Finals in New York. Pete and Darius discuss the details of the game and what stood out to them most in the Spurs victory. And then later the guys continue their discussion on Rui Hachimura’s pending free agency by focusing on his defensive fit on the team, how his role and skill set don’t always align on that side of the ball, and how that may or may not change even if LeBron were not back next year. .
