About this episode

Adam Mares and Tim Legler analyze Game 3 of the NBA Finals, focusing on the Spurs' performance against the Knicks.

Adam Mares and Tim Legler break down Game 3 of the NBA Finals from Madison Square Garden, where the San Antonio Spurs responded with a poised and physical performance to get back into the series. They discuss the incredible atmosphere in New York, the Knicks’ second-quarter surge, and San Antonio’s ability to answer every run. The episode dives into Jalen Brunson’s struggles against full-court pressure, why teams need multiple ball-handlers in high-level playoff basketball, and the Spurs’ key adjustment of moving Victor Wembanyama off Karl-Anthony Towns. They also examine the ripple effects of Wemby’s defensive role, Mitch Johnson’s successful four-guard lineup, Dylan Harper’s embrace of physical play, and Keldon Johnson’s minutes. The conversation wraps with thoughts on the officiating and the players who could swing a pivotal Game 4. A must-watch for NBA fans following the Finals, playoff adjustments, and the battle between the Knicks and Spurs for the championship. An ALLCITY Network Production
